Weekly Photo Challenge: Good Morning!

My mornings – when the weekend finally is here – are usually Good…especially when the sun is shining in there is a smile on my face. I walk slowly through the rooms, watering my flowers. Alone up and awake. Beautiful silence.

A couple of hours later, I hear my daughter’s bare feet in the stairs. Immediately two tails start drumming heavily…so, she says hello and picks up Mille or Totti and sits talking for a while – to both of them.  They all agree on the fact that life’s worth living…

Then I smile, open the door and walk out into my garden, shoes on my feet now,  to find some herbs and maybe some last flowers to put on the table. Not much is left …and frost has turned green into red and yellow. It’s a good morning.

Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Scent

Certain scents bring back old memories like nothing else can do.  Memories from childhood and younger days. Sometimes a scent brings tears to my eyes and other times a smile on my face…For this challenge I chose a quote from the world of animals. Maybe it seems like a joke to some of you, but I have grown up with animals and I just might agree with Mr Stewart.  What do you think?

On a warm summer evening… one of the last days before autumn arrives…the old stone steps are entirely – His.

When a dog is really comfortable, they give off a certain scent and you can smell it on their paws.

I know, I know…I have used this picture before…but – those greedy fingers are irresistable!

Weekly Photo Challenge: From Lines to Patterns

From lines to patterns. We see lines and patterns in the world around us, in nature and things man-made. Sometimes we don’t realize they’re there: on the street, across the walls, up in the sky, and along the ground on which we walk.

Here are my choices, taken from my world.
