Photo book on The Garden of My Dreams

29 augusti, 201529 augusti, 2015 / Leya / 16 kommentarer

This summer I had the opportunity of visiting and taking photos in the most beautiful garden – the garden of my dreams. The owners, Kerstin and Kjell-Arne, have travelled the world to collect many rare species, and are always working hard on their dream.

I cannot say how much I appreciate being given this opportunity – and all the chats about the forest and its inhabitants whenever we see each other. Be it hiking or a short visit in their garden.

This year, their work was more abundantly rewarded than ever. So they said, and I believe them. They know everything about plants and different species and Kjell-Arne is also an ornithologist with many years’ experience.You who follow my blog might also remember him as – ”the little man”/”den lille mannen”.

Please click the link to see the photo book on this magnificent garden!

SL WEEK 8: On the Road

28 augusti, 201528 augusti, 2015 / Leya / 3 kommentarer

Art On the Road. Being a language teacher, I am a great Lover of Words. Making art with words demands certain skills as well as practicing, practicing and again – practicing.

In New Zealand they love making life on the road more fun. And they are very skilled…

Hopefully you will enjoy these as much as I did during my stay there in 2011!
