Ailsa throws in a helping hand for us all who are both low and high these days. The world is so troubled and it is impossible not to get depressed by the news received every day. Let us all try to muster some hope, some enlightened thoughts and deeds – we need Peace, Love  and Compassion on Earth.

In the header, two old gentlemen walking in Segovia.

WPC: H2O

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.

Thursday Thoughts

Finally the colours are coming…but I guess they will not stay for long. Too much wind and rain – even hail. And two days ago I saw the lapwings like pearls thrown over the water, preparing to return south.

In the early morning light the heron was almost one with the sun.

And towards noon, the horses grazing in a complete painting.

A glorious day!

WPC: Nostalgia

Nostalgia

My Islands in the World – Azores. And this little Island, Corvo. Blue Hydrangeas in the blue ocean. My daughter as a young girl…Someday I hope we will return.

Travel theme: Sound

Some sounds for Ailsa, from Nature! In the header – winter ice cracking into spring.

Sparkling fire on Walpurgis Night.

Mmm, the sound of water can be calm and soft, but also roaring…

And maybe the most beautiful morning sound – a spring thrush, singing when you open your window.
