Vintage Art: 1934 Indian Motorcycles Tin Sign

2010-03-15T11:06:00.004+01:00

I like the motorbike. I like vintage rides :-) but I'm more attracted to the color yellow here :-). This should be the mustard yellow. Well, looks like mustard paste for sure. I was thinking of having a bag in this color. I hope I can find one soon. Something different from my usual gray, black and brown.

Fine Art: Field of Poppies

2010-03-15T10:57:00.002+01:00

Having a long winter makes me really miss flowers. Actually I started to like the colors of winter, at least for photography purposes, but I think there's nothing compared to the colors of spring and summer. Love flowers. Let there be flowers soon!

Decorative Art: Tango Valentino

2010-03-15T10:43:00.002+01:00

I love the color combination on this one. It's a stand out. I was looking into someone's work last time and his paintings were having this kind of appeal. I was thinking, if you have a house which is having some dark elements inside like dark woods, this would be perfect.

2010-03-15T10:28:00.002+01:00

Beautiful! It won't be too long anymore when the neighborhood balconies will be full of flowers. It's like competition who would have the most beautiful balcony :-). I like that always. It makes the surrounding really pretty. It's been actually late this year. Winter is staying too long.

Vintage Art: Havana

2010-03-11T12:11:00.002+01:00

Today, I have something with guys wearing suit and faceless :-). This one just reminds me of that film The Tailor of Panama. There was a scene with Pierce Brosnan that exactly looks like this. It's been a long time so I could be wrong. Miss watching movies. Everyone's talking about these 3d films that I can't watch here. Hopefully, I'll be lucky with the upcoming Tim Burton's Alice.

Fine Art: The Son of Man, 1964

2010-03-11T12:02:00.000+01:00

I really thought I featured this already. Been using this as my avatar in twitter and facebook without realizing it hasn't got posted here yet. So there it goes, The Son of Man! When you look at it, you can't help but get curious of the face, of how he looks like, right? But I guess it'll remain covered by that apple. You can only imagine, it's all up to you.

Decorative Art: Ornamental Carp III

2010-03-11T11:47:00.002+01:00

I like this one. Feels like you're underwater. When I dive, I like making bubbles and opening my eyes to see them. Love those moments when you don't hear the usual noise of the world but just some bubbles underneath. Precious! Wish to do that again.

2010-03-11T11:38:00.002+01:00

This is sooo cute. Today, got to let go of my stuff toys. It's time. Mixed feelings of sadness and happiness. I'm sad because they were really a company the past years but it's okay I know that some children will be so happy to have them. They'll go to a day care center and that kind of eased my mind.

Vintage Art: American Crescent Cycles

2010-03-10T12:23:00.003+01:00

Wow! Where do I start? The gorgeous hair, the lovely yellow dress or the beautiful flowers? Love this print! And come to think of it, it's actually about cycles lol! Miss biking really. I don't look this gorgeous when I ride bike but it's something I really enjoy. I love all my biking moments, even the falling down moments. You learn how to endure pains, get up and pedal again :-).

Fine Art: Sunrise, 1965

2010-03-10T12:16:00.002+01:00

Yep sunshine! It's been very sunny these days. Loves it! And it's also getting warmer. I think in one week it'll be officially Spring. It's about damn time! Gosh got so frozen from this winter. I guess it's time for me to defroze. Will have a lovely afternoon later in the city. Get some fresh air and sunlight. Missing the touch of the ray on my skin :-).

Decorative Art: I Think Therefore I Am

2010-03-10T12:00:00.002+01:00

I think therefore I am. If one's not able to think, this statement won't even exist so must have been thought by someone who does double thinking, first thought and second thought. Hm, lots of thinking here. Did I confuse you there? Anyway, I love to think. Sometimes I think too much. Could be good and also could be bad. Hard to find a balance but I'm trying.

Photography: Singer and Actress Barbra Streisand

2010-03-10T11:46:00.002+01:00

Wow, she still looks very young here but actually aside from some wrinkles, her face didn't really change a lot. One of those lucky ones to age gracefully. I guess most of us wish for that but how? I know the answers and you also know too, just some basics but always hard to do.

On my list to visit. It's for sure some place I would love to spend some relaxing days. Looking at this print, forget about the girl, I'm going for the fruits haha! Miss tropical fruits. I do get them here too but I love it when they're always accessible. Just googled some Tahiti photos, wah gorgeous place. Wanna go!

Fine Art: The Bedroom at Arles, c.1887

2010-03-09T11:57:00.002+01:00

I've been looking for this one but I thought ah I'll find it soon but it's actually been a while :-). Just looking at the bed makes me feel sleepy, yawn. I like the room, looks very cozy. I have a talent of making spaces cozy. It's making it always hard to leave like now.

There are lots to celebrate. First, weather looks really great (chilly but sun is shining). Second, it's not gonna be that busy week than I thought (still busy but not that bad). Lastly, things are working just fine (less stress than how I imagined it to be). Cheers to all that!

2010-03-09T11:18:00.002+01:00

These two are sooo cute! They remind me of Dumbo. There was a baby elephant here in the zoo but it was some years ago so it must have grown up now. They named it Ming Jung, Cologne dialect for "my boy". Hm, it sounds more chinese or korean than german.

Vintage Art: Antibes Cote d'Azur

2010-03-04T11:40:00.003+01:00

I want to be on a beach real soon. The thought of it makes me so excited. I don't care if it's with palms or rocks or peebles or fine sand as long as the water stays on the shore and doesn't or wouldn't retreat. That tsunami scare is still fresh you know. Hopefully, nothing like that anymore. It's terrible to think of the beach as a scary place to be.

Fine Art: Bath

2010-03-04T11:24:00.002+01:00

I've been so curious about Botero. Seen some Boteros before but this is my first feature of him. This piece could be the most popular, seen it a lot. I love looking at this one. She looks so comfortable with her body. How many of us actually are? She's very admirable and very bold of the artist.

Chilly but beautiful. Same with the weather here. Was outside yesterday and enjoyed it immensely though the wind was biting. I'm excited to go out again today, got some important shopping to do and the sun seems to support me with my quest. Lovely weather outside, can't wait.

2010-03-04T10:58:00.004+01:00

She was sooo pretty. She has a bit of a Kate Moss look, I don't know, maybe the eyes. I've just been looking at some vintage photographs of someone I know and it's fun to see that person in her early years. In some years, I will have to dig my own photo boxes and see how I had been in the past :-).

Vintage Art: Vichy, Comite des Fetes

2010-03-02T12:14:00.002+01:00

It looks like a very nice gathering. I wish to be enjoying more time outside during the night when the weather is nice. Being in a cold country, the chances of staying outside at night, gazing at the stars is rather less. I feel deprived but it's okay, like space I'll have more chances.

2010-03-02T12:03:00.002+01:00

Wow, this is beautiful! I love the details on that clothing (dunno what it's called) being blown by the wind. Looks stormy but she still looks pretty :-). And talking of storms, we had a strong one hitting several countries in Europe. Glad we were inside the house, these double-glass windows make all the noise stay outside. Today, a great weather is compensating. Love it!

Decorative Art: Bella Grande Tulips

2010-03-02T11:55:00.002+01:00

Another Spring flower. I'll be really on guard for the first bloom. I feel lucky to be living close to the botanical garden. I get to enjoy lots of different flowers without the hassle of tending them :-). I actually like planting flowers but when one lives in the city, one gets limited space. I'll see to it that I'd be having more space in the future.

Wow, this is a lovely sight and love the colors too! I've seen bluebells at a nearby store, really pretty flowers. Must be Spring already! It feels and smells like one. I'm so excited to try out my cam. It just got returned from repair. It's all ready for Spring!

Vintage Art: Ombrello Franc

2010-03-01T11:30:00.002+01:00

First I thought the umbrella is catching fire but then I realized they're actually little swans. Sooo cute! Probably mom tried to teach them how to swim but then uh-oh not yet ready. Still they look so cute. And that looks like my umbrealla when I was little. Maybe I was passing by then I've seen them and told mommy swan to use my umbie first. She never gave it back though :-).

Fine Art: Cometes

2010-03-01T11:20:00.002+01:00

I like this one. I don't understand it but I like it :-). Well, I guess it doesn't matter if I understand it or not. It pleases my eyes, that's all that matters. We're putting down something that I like to see in our living room today but this can compensate.

Decorative Art: Cheyenne

2010-03-01T11:08:00.003+01:00

Had to ask hubby what Cheyenne is. He asked, "In what context"? I answered, "Not in a car context". Hehe. Yeah, so Cheyenne is a native American Indian tribe. The guy below looks like a chieftain. I remember at work before someone would always say... Lots of chieftains but no indians.

Lucky kitty to be surrounded by these beautiful flowers and probably under a clear, blue sky. I'm so jealous. I'm desperately waiting for spring. Would love to bring my cam for a walk to the botanical garden. I would also get such lovely blooms there in spring.

2010-02-23T16:08:00.002+01:00

Such a pretty smile! Must be the very nice weather as you can see the blue sky and cotton-like clouds. I better have to share that lovely smile than to pout all day for having a gray and wet day. Good that I got rid of the curtain. It looks brighter inside the apartment. Keeping that smile :-).

Fine Art: Angel, c.1957 (Three Spirits Playing)

2010-02-23T15:51:00.002+01:00

This looks like a Christmas postcard with the 3 Kings in it :-). It's seldom to see a cute Warhol. Or maybe I just haven't seen the rest of his works yet. Whenever I think of Warhol, I think of celebrities and colorful pictures. I passed by a gallery here and they had a Warhol on window display, I was like wow, I didn't know of those beautiful details. It's hard to tell by just looking at prints online :-).

2010-02-23T15:40:00.002+01:00

I love that yellow boat down there. It looks like it's waiting for me. So very enticing! A car person or a boat person? Question just popped up somewhere in my head :-). Hm, hard. Maybe a boat person. The thought of paddling and floating is relaxing. I like it better that feeling the ground while driving.

Beautiful composition! And I love that hat. Currently don't have a reason to wear one unless it's a shield against the rain. I prefer umbrella for that. Urgh, really looks nasty outside and it's gonna continue to be wet and cold the next days. Got to be aware with cold and flu, don't have that healthy body like below :-).

2010-02-22T11:56:00.002+01:00

I guess there are a lot more to see in France than just Paris. I've been always curious with southern France, places like Nice or Cannes. It should be warm there. But for those who are interested with a colder coastal climate then Trouville might be a good choice.

2010-02-22T11:45:00.002+01:00

I love the curly hair. I have straight hair but it got permed several times when I was younger. Well, it was trendy :-). Having a curly hair was actually a love and hate thing for me. It was pretty but taking care of it was too much work and the chance that my comb get stuck with it was always high. So no perms. I'm already happy to see Taylor Swift or Nicole Kidman sporting this lovely hairstyle :-).

Eating specially the healthy way is one thing that should be given attention. Eat healthy and everything will follow - that's so true!

This must be tulip fields. I haven't seen it in person but it must be a very lovely sight. I think I've seen an eareal photo somewhere and it was gorgeous. I love countryside especially colorful ones. At my hubby's place, they have really nice countryside. The plains look yellowish to orange-ish and they have these hills that look purple at a particular time of the day. Very nice!

I miss watching cartoons. I could recall those days when I would borrow some tapes just to watch it over and over again. It was really hard to get to watch this before. Now, you have channels on TV just showing cartoons. If it was like this at home, I guess I won't be doing something or playing outside anymore.

Fine Art: Night and Sleep

2010-02-18T11:47:00.002+01:00

Yeah of course they're sleeping. They're the god and goddess of night and sleep. This reminds me of the god of wine (the one drinking) and the god of hangover (hm, the one who gets the results). I've been reading a book which makes fun on this mythologies :-). And my favorite is the goddess of stuck drawers. I always have to think of her whenever I deal with my kitchen drawers :-).

Where there's water, there are life forms. I haven't seen an oasis but would be really fascinating to be in one. That means have to be in the desert for that and most probably middle of the desert. The only desert I've been to is Las Vegas :-). Lots of oases with big buildings called casinos and hotels :-).

Read it somewhere that there'll be longer speeches :-). I don't know if that's good or not. To those who would get the statue, more chances to thank some people but for the viewers, longer wait :-).

Oh how I love picking fruits. I wish to own lots of fruit trees so I'd be having fun harvesting later. No, I'm not talking about Farmville :-). It has to be a real farm with real trees. When I was younger, I would climb to get a ridiculously tiny, yellow guava. So much effort for such thing but I remember how excited and eager I always was to get one.

2010-02-17T11:02:00.002+01:00

I really love umbrellas. Most likely because of the shape and the colors. I carry one always in my bag but that's because it could rain here anytime :-). This photo reminds me of our trip to Italy when we were searching for a nice beach close to Pisa. We stopped by one and it was so crowded. Umbrellas were lined up like this and they were all occupied. So we decided to look for another one and ended up in a more deserted and wider beach.

So this is the full image of yesterday's Minerva. Click on the photo to view the bigger version. I love it; it's beautiful! Minerva's the Roman goddess of wisdom, intelligence, poetry, commerce, music, medicine and a lot more but most famous for the first two :-). It is said that Botticelli painted the female, Minerva, as a strong sentinel that is completely in control of the situation. She is a woman of virtue, entirely competent of shutting down the evil man-beast next to her.

I had lots of opportunities to enjoy red sky when I was vacationing in the tropics. I realized how I really missed it. It was beautiful and invigorating! I guess it was always like that but when you grew up with it, you don't see this things anymore. Experiencing the opposite sky color will make me value this one in the future.

Last week, I was posting a similar poster. It says It'll cost nothing to dream and everything not to. Something to ponder about, don't you think. This one caught my attention today. We tend to seek happiness when happiness is actually a choice. At the back of my mind, I kind of know but I've got to be reminded a lot.

Ah yeah? Just asked hubby about this, yes bear is Berlin's symbol. Haven't been there yet. I'm living on the other side but I'll probably visit soon. I'll see if there are any bears :-).

Somehow it's not the same if someone is doing the shopping for me because when I buy something, I'm already imagining how it would taste like. Food has to be enjoyed from the moment you buy them.

I'm getting hungry looking at this. It's time for lunch but some minutes ago, I still didn't have appetite. I love fried fish and this really makes me hungry, yum! So I guess got to quit blogging now. Hope everyone has a great day. Don't forget to eat!

Fine Art: Apple Tree I, c.1912

2010-02-10T12:14:00.003+01:00

I love to eat apples! Anything fruity would do. I'm used to have fruits as dessert but we ran out since yesterday. Got to fetch some later. I'm missing the taste; that juicy, sweet, refreshing taste after a heavy meal. Love it! It makes everything lighter. Last time, we got really crunchy apples. Hope we could get some good ones again.

Decorative Art: Nothing to Dream

2010-02-10T12:03:00.002+01:00

Yeah it's true, it'll cost nothing to dream. I dream a lot and one is to drink that ice-cold lemonade somewhere in the tropics or some place having similar weather, hehe. Everything I drink right now is lukewarm. I'm getting used to it somehow but of course a change is always welcome.

2010-02-10T11:35:00.002+01:00

Wow, I love this image! Someday I'm gonna teach my kids how to play chess too. Hubby got a very cute, pocket chess set that I'm keeping and that'll come along with me whereever I'm going :-). But yeah how did I learn chess? By merely looking. I learned the moves but of course it took some time to be good at it.

2010-02-09T16:22:00.002+01:00

Cheeeeeese! I can see my hubby sniffing too :-). He loves cheese! I like cheese too but can live without it. That had been proven when I wasn't allowed to take any dairy products, well I guess for one year. Tough but I survived. Happy though that I can eat a bit here and there again like melted organic cheese on my self-baked organic bread, yum!

Fine Art: Love and the Maiden

2010-02-09T16:11:00.003+01:00

Hm another Olympian gods and goddesses? Not sure but they look like one. I was just talking about Neptune yesterday but well I love mythologies though I still have to read more about them. A teacher in highschool was introducing me to it but due to my lack of interest in reading, I still don't know a lot. Lucky that I can always ask hubby about it.

Decorative Art: Doris Holds Out For a Biscuit

2010-02-09T15:47:00.002+01:00

This one's from one of my favorite artists, Sam Toft. I love her creations because they tell a story. A story that revolves around Ernest, his wife and their dog. Ernest Hemmingway Mustard lives on the Brighton/Hove border with his dear lady wife Violet and Doris, their rather grumpy, portly, Jack Russell. Read more...

This is such a beautiful photo; makes my mind travel. I get to see a flock of birds visiting here in the neighborhood but they're always too far to shoot. Shoot means with my cam ;-). I'm a bird-friendly person. It's fascinating to see a bare tree full of chubby burdies resting. Really a pity that the tree is a bit far.

I don't know anymore if I had posted this before. There were just too many of them. Important is I like it at the moment. They look gorgeous and there's that "you just like to dance with them" feeling. After having a flu, I feel fit again to do some moves hehe. Hope everyone has a healthy Monday!

My hair is longer than hers :-) or probably of the same length since she's having an extra long neck :-). I love long hair; it gives a feeling of femininity (according to wiki, also called "womanliness" - I like that word). And guys tend to like it too! Well I didn't let my hair grow for those reasons I just mentioned. I'm just really lazy to visit a hairstylist!

Decorative Art: Neptune's Daughter

2010-02-08T10:56:00.002+01:00

It's easy to mix up Greek and Roman mythologies. So okay, Neptune is the Roman god of the sea; he's equivalent to Poseidon for the Greeks. This Neptune guy normally carries a trident so you won't actually miss him in museums. If Zeus carries a thunderbolt, Neptune a trident. The one in the image should be one of Neptune's 4 daughters. Could be Neptunia but a cuter version.

2010-02-08T10:25:00.003+01:00

The kitten is cute but what really catches my attention is the color of the door :-). Sorry cute kitten :-). Yeah it brings back wonderful memories in Greece. Blue and white are their colors. Colors that give the feeling of being close to the ocean. I absolutely love that feeling!

2010-02-03T12:29:00.002+01:00

I miss Rome! Went through our Italian photos last week and I got to reminisce some great memories during that tour. It was summer when we visited Rome so it's hard to not to remember how hot was that at that time. Really hot, sunburn and everything! Will love to be back though. I really enjoyed those ruins; felt like in the times Caesar.

Fine Art: The Green Turban

2010-02-03T12:04:00.003+01:00

Fierce! Wish I have the same fierceness today. And probably wearing a green turban won't be of any help :-). Anyway, I love looking at this image or staring at their eyes or their faces. Very beautiful contrast of expressions. But today, I really wish I got that look of the lady with the green turban.

Decorative Art: One Man and His Dog

2010-02-03T11:49:00.002+01:00

Man doesn't look happy; maybe that's why he needs that walk with his dog. A walk can clear your head of whatever's troubling you. Hubby doesn't look happy too. He'll be up for a walk later so that'd be okay. Small things can really ruin your day. Camera body was sent to be fixed; it got returned but problem is still there. I guess a walk is really good :-).

I just wanna have peace with my body at the moment. Got 2 major infections and it's going crazy. I barely had sleep last night; everytime I move, I wake up. Now I'm having a big head and feeling tired. Hope these go away soon; really got so much to do.

2010-02-01T11:56:00.002+01:00

Oh how the cars evolved. So this is how a Mercedes was looking like in its early days. It might look like a carriage but well they say old is new. Vintage is definitely in! I hope it lasts because I really like it :-). Mercedes and BMW, they have the right of way so either one of the 2 :-).

Fine Art: The Naiad

2010-02-01T11:40:00.003+01:00

Looking at Waterhouse's paintings gives me a feeling of reading a storybook. I wonder if there's really a book with these characters you see below, The Lady of Shalott or The Mermaid. The Soul of the Rose looks like a romance novel. They all tell a story and I'm curious. Hope to feature more Waterhouse in the future.

2010-02-01T11:28:00.002+01:00

The female shape is beautiful! It's undeniably an art! You've got to agree with me :-). But do you know the secret to keep this shape? Ah it's actually no secret at all. Feed yourself healthy and everything will follow. Dang, I should have learned that a long time ago. It was a hard lesson but glad I have it.

2010-02-01T11:19:00.002+01:00

I will love to see such magnificient scenery but I guess that'll require me to go hiking. Got to be really fit for that. Looking at this image feels like breathing fresh and very clean air. It's been a while since I've done that but I guess I'll be ready this week or the next. So excited to go out again! The thought makes my Monday happy :-).

No way to be wearing these here at the moment but I love looking at them girls free from all these thick clothings I got on :-). Somewhere out there, there's a bunch of pips enjoying the beach and I'm so jel right now. At least it's Friday and planning something nice tomorrow so not that bad. Have a great weekend everyone!

2010-01-29T14:15:00.002+01:00

I love siesta! I don't normally sleep but just laze around, talk to other people in the house or just enjoy the quietness of the early afternoon. Hm, that was when I was in my hometown. And I remember we had a hammock, it was perfect to be there but got to fight who's gonna have it first. Ah memories! Got to browse some old photos the past days and there they are, memories getting refreshed.

Decorative Art: He Knew Too Much

2010-01-29T13:58:00.003+01:00

I guess I've watched too many mafia movies :-). I've been really a film fanatic but variations came later when I got here. I would watch everything, from romantic comedies to science fiction but then I couldn't anymore. I couldn't watch dark and depressing films, lost the strength. But good news, not too long ago I'm back to normal again. Immediately grabbed "The Dark Knight". Yeah I know, it took me that long. Sad to see Heath but I'm okay :-).

My colors today are purple, yellow, orange and another orange :-). Lots of sun colors, maybe because sun is still shining and serves as my current natural back heater. Very nice! I like this image. Looks like she's got lots of energy and fun. I've just been dancing actually and I had fun but energy, whew, running low :-).

2010-01-26T14:51:00.003+01:00

This flower looks so fragile but nevertheless soo pretty! They are so pretty too on the Monet's Poppies I posted yesterday. And I think I've seen some commercial posters of a famous clothes store here with their models on the field of poppies. Very beautiful, they definitely made me stop.

2010-01-26T14:43:00.003+01:00

I pick this because it's freaking cold outside (something like -8 degree) but so blessed by a very beautiful and sunny day. I love the heat of the sun on my back. Made me peel some layers of this thick clothing. Gosh, I can't wait to be in a warm place. Just lots of sun! Lots and lots of sun! I could never get enough of that.

Photography: Table Mountain

2010-01-26T14:34:00.002+01:00

Was always wondering why it's called Table Mountain. Looking at this photo, now I know why ;-). I love the effect of long exposure shots on water. It creates this foamy, cloud-like, dreamy effect. Very nice! I still have to try this kind of shot myself. As long as my cam body is back from being fixed. Miss my baby!

Vintage Art: Billards St. Martin

2010-01-25T11:26:00.002+01:00

Love this image though I wonder how she could play with her tight-waisted dress :-). But she definitely looks lovely! I had not really played billards properly. I remember I tried but never got finished but it's something I would enjoy playing. I remember I used to play something similar, very tiny, with marbles and I was so addicted to it.

I really love these flowers! They make the fields look so romantic. I'm not really sure when they're in bloom, spring or summer. I wish to photograph them when I still get the chance. Something to remember from here. I'm kind of busy with that actually. Hope it gets warmer soon so I can be outside often.

Hubby and I are on the verge of a great adventure. That makes me sooo excited! Hope everything will come out perfect. It's cute to see this boy carrying his small luggage whereas we're trying to bring lots of things with us. Hm, this is a good example of traveling light. We should better learn from him if we don't want to pay excess luggage ;-).

I was really looking forward to shopping this week but I guess that will be postponed due to some health issues. I think nobody likes to be sick especially on her birthday week, dang. I miss the city. I miss shopping the most though that would mean peeling all my winter outfit just to try a cute top :-). Well, I guess I will have to wait.

2010-01-22T12:12:00.003+01:00

It doesn't look like another Pierrot et Columbine :-). I just love that print I posted some days ago. This doesn't look like she left him :-), over-partying perhaps. Well, I guess some of you guys would go to party tonight, afterall it's Friday! Have fun then.

Fine Art: Villa Florentine

2010-01-22T11:57:00.004+01:00

My first Klee! I always post prints according to my mood and thoughts and this one, I just like today. Art is something that could invigorate my senses. Something that makes me feel excited, awake, happy (sometimes sad), something that pleases my eyes, something that brings back memories or gives a flow of thoughts, something that I understand and might not understand, something that strikes direct to my heart, something that I just love even on the first sight. Hm, am I overly dramatic?

Decorative Art: Cops and Robbers

2010-01-22T11:47:00.004+01:00

They both look like robbers to me :-). I love black and white. They're the safest combination when it comes to my outfit. Sometimes after looking at several choices of colors, I would still end up with black and white. Hm, always playing safe. Let's see what this decade has in store for me. I would probably end up playing with so many colors. Sounds very exciting!

2010-01-22T11:26:00.002+01:00

This is a very lovely photo! Cute little girl with such a friendly-looking doggie. At this age, one is still innocent, you've got no fear from being with animals. You just like petting them even probably the craziest animal in the zoo. When I was little, I had that imagination of being happy and endlessly play with animals until I was chased by a goat and got stuck at a tree. Then followed by being attacked by a mother duck and hen after an attempt of cutifying the ducklings and chicks. Also got chased by the dog of my aunt from a simple misunderstanding. Ah but I still love animals even if they don't consider me their best friend :-).

The French have really lots of these beautiful vintage prints and I'm loving every single of it. This one reminds me of the drama I'm currently watching. The lead girl is always wearing high heels and sashaying her long, flawless legs :-). Must have hurt a lot. But they say, you've got to suffer for beauty and your beautiful shoes could bring you to higher places ;-).

This one's so famous but never got featured, well until now :-). I'm always curious about myhthologies, they sound like my kind of stories but I'm just so lazy to read. I know some of the characters but it's easy to mixed up Greeks and Romans. Venus, Venus! The Roman goddess of beauty, please share your endless beauty to those who are crazy with it and can't resist 10 beauty procedures in one day.

2010-01-21T11:05:00.003+01:00

I'm trying to remember which one is Lilac. Sure it's pretty but I'm confusing it with another pretty flower. Ah okay, I'm sure I've seen this one. There was one plant hubby brought home last time and the flowers were looking like Lilac. I just forgot the name but it was fragrant, actually too fragrant that I got a headache from it so I had to put it outside. Poor flowers :-(.

It's still strange for me to have daylight after 6pm and it's stranger when the world gets dark at 4pm. I remember how confused I was when I came here almost 10 years ago. I'm glad we've passed over the shortest days. So now looking forward to Spring and daylight getting longer. Always love to see sunsets at 6.
