SOUNDS OF WATER

A little spring trip. Seven years and I haven´t been there. Oh, so beautiful it still was. The sounds of water in its all forms. So much sun, so strong wind, so warm sunshine (hello new freckles!), so perfect when swimming in hot turquoise water while it gently snows. The beautiful language that rolls nicely in mouth, makes to smile.

A second home, so much missed.

And now, it is finally starting to look a bit more green here. Today a small herb garden was planted to the balcony, still thinking of ice, ocean ship travels, mountain tops. 

How are you and the season around you?

POSTCARDS FROM THREE SOUTHERN CITIES BY TRAIN, CHAPTER I, THE LAST STOP, THE SEA

Greetings from the South! Sunshine, warmth, new fresh tastes, scents of salty sea and lavender. Pebbles and steep staircases under feet. Dark nights. Warm waves, wind in hair. Tasting the sea from a finger tip to believe that it really is a sea. Clear waters. Turquoise color.


Three Southern cities by train, a small summer holiday. Every trip should have a lighthouse on its way. The last stop of this trip ended by the sea. 


Already feeling unreal.


The sun shines and warms back here at home. Swimming waters getting warmer too. Light in the summer nights.

WALKING IN SOUNDS

These are the places I dream about today. A waterfall joining a river and running down to the sea, babbling on its way. Wind very gentle. Secret huts and a small bridge. Caressed by round mountains around and a hint of snow to make everything fresh. Afternoon nap in Meadow buttercups.

Here sunset has arrived, snow melts quicker every moment, a rabbit eats seeds by an oak in the safety of the arrived darkness, sauna is warming up and tummy is filled with berries, fruits and tea. Have a good long weekend!

WAKING UP FOR THE LIGHT

Spring has arrived even it comes today as big floating snowflakes. Spring makes me restless. Restlessness makes me to want to travel. Healing that with a bit of lighthouses of the world. Lighthouses from Germany, Iceland and UK. (1. by Sabine, 2. by Anke, 6. by Samuele.)

Do you feel the spring? How do you treat it?

Have a happy Monday filled with orange and turquoise, maybe a bit of raspberry pie too!
