For WordPress this week – Shine.
These last few days I have been out hiking, because I wanted to enjoy the last rays of colour this autumn. Ahead of us – starting this week – is all greyness. Some trees have lost their leaves already, and among them, the beautiful maples.
Sometimes in the forest, there is a very special shine through the canopy, as if a soft magic wand was touching it. I felt that yesterday – I hope you can feel it too.
Jen, at WordPress, asks us to show local life…and where my heart is.
In my garden with my dog…who always occupies the most comfortable places…
Walking in the forest every day with the best of friends.
Places and friends closest to me – between the ground and the heavens above. The header photo and the last picture.
H2O – well, that is what is coming this autumn, and even more during winter.
Water, it is called. For WPC I have chosen three favourites, one of its thickest forms and two of its thinnest. In the header, the frozen, majestic waterfall Tännforsen in Jämtland, Sweden.
From Barcelona, a hidden castle in the water cascades and from New Zealand, hot springs’ vapour.
The Epic of Gilgamesh, a Sumerian story, The Odyssey by Homer, Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and of course The Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling.
In these stories, the protagonists set out to almost impossible tasks, leaving home and safety plunging into the unknown. So, where am I, a 21st century, middle aged woman, in all this? What is my Quest?
I guess in my little world there are no big ”saving the world”- quests – maybe saving myself quests only. I am constantly searching for and heading towards Inner Peace, being kind and compassionate along the road. I find peace in Nature and through doing good things, helping other fellow passengers on this route.
Hopefully, one day, I will be standing there, feeling that my quest is completed. I will be completely calm and at peace with myself and the world.
So, we are asked to show an edge of some kind. Late in the evening in Lerma, Spain, I just opened up to have a look at the evening light – and there he was!
A frame is a frame…but, so much more!
These two are from Spain – an empty frame and a frame in a frame.
The Kea, a smart and rare bird from New Zealand, known among other things for its demolishing of cars…
Great Fun! Fun watching them, fun playing volleyball, fun puppy love…
How I enjoyed this stay with Totti’s little ones! Thank you Michelle, for finally having Fun!
The soft morning…is lifting, taking off towards the day. Ziga, Baztan, Spain.

As much as I like the open landscape, I also like things narrow – unless it turns up in nightmares where I am stuck in a narrow tunnel, unable to go either forwards or backwards…

The tunnel leading to Cuevas de Valporquero, Spain. In reality – not a nightmare!
