Turning something familiar into something unfamiliar…Here
I am going for a short trip to Morocco…
…so I have to leave my tulips. But before I go –
a photo to remember by.
I wish you all a lovely weekend!
Thursday Thoughts – by Totti
Today I have been thinking…
…frosty islands in the lake
Even the ducks were slow starters
My mistress and…
…the kite…
As the sun rose higher, the song thrush spread his glorious tunes over the forest
…that maybe I should tell you about My day in the forest! This was the start. Early, early, before the sunrise, we drove to the big forest far away. As you could see above, we had a glorius morning with many interesting sounds and smells. My nose was at work from the very start…
And then, after a couple of hours, suddenly my mistress stopped still and told me to be quiet…Somehow (sorry to say) she had noticed this deer coming down from a hill on the left side…before I did. The wind must have come from the wrong direction – I have no other explanation…
Anyhow, she was gone with the wind as soon as my mistress pressed the button…
When we turned left and followed the path back towards the car, we noticed a host of daffodils in the middle of the forest. I was still deeply pondering my unhappy mistake before, and kindly let my mistress lie on the ground for some crazy photos…of daffodils…
…and me. I hope you enjoyed this short story of my day!

CB&W Challenge: Fences and Gates
Fences and gates are often in my lens. Not only because of their beauty, but often because of their originality, showing off the inventive spirit of their builders.

BHUTAN: ITS ANCIENT PAST IS ITS FUTURE
A piece of Shang-ri-La
Tiger’s Nest Monastery, Bhutan
BHUTAN IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES YOU CAN’T GET TO FROM HERE. And if you’re a budget traveler, you can’t get there from anywhere. Bhutan enforces a fixed daily rate of US$250 on tourists during high seasons and $200 during off seasons. You are not permitted to travel without a guide and driver, and there are some restricted areas you still can’t visit. If you travel as a single traveler as I did, you pay a surcharge of $40 per day. When I asked Kinga, my guide, why the government restricted travelers like this, he said: “To keep the backpackers out. We want to protect our culture. We don’t want Bhutan to become another Katmandu.” I guess you have to respect that kind of thinking.

SL-WEEK 39: Candle
Candle light in Sweden is perhaps mostly connected to winter and Christmas time. In the header, the wreath of box and candles I make every year for our dining room.
For Sylvain Landry – Candle.
Medieval restaurant in Riga – only candle light.

This Is Not a Painting
…but the evening sun lingering on a red house standing by the river pond, giving reflections in the water.
Or…?
Have a great new week!
