Vintage Art: Tahiti
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!

Photography: Bluebells Flowering
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!

Photography: The Garden Cat
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.

Photography: Mediterranean Beach in Cinque Terre, Liguria, Italy
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.

Decorative Art: Poppies
Very lovely colors! Spring? Summer? Looks definitely warm. We still don't have the signs here. Outside looks like never ending winter but bearable :-) in fact I was in the city yesterday shopping. I guess cold is bearable when you get to shop something nice :-). Got to enjoy all the lovely spring collections.

Photography: Peace
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.

Photography: Aitutaki Lagoon, Cook Islands
I want to be in a warm place right now... for real! Weather is killing me. So cold and wet, makes my toes swell wahhh! I can always rely on the internet to provide me such beautiful image to ease me a little :-) and yeah a warm cup of tea helps too.

Fine Art: Poppies
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.

Photography: The Swiss Way, Ski
Been lazy after the holidays. It must be the cold. We have minus temperatures here in Cologne at the moment. It would snow but not much but old snow from the past days is staying. I would have loved to see (just look from the comfort of my apartment) some thick snow but we've never been really lucky with that so far. Guess, I'll have to visit Switzerland.

Decorative Art: Gathering Sea Shells
She sells sea shells on the sea shore. Repeat it several times but faster :-). This so brings back memories. Memories of home, memories that I always want to repeat. I'm so far away from the sea and all that happened were like in another world. Got to go back and live that once more :-).

Photography: Turtle Crossing
Oh yeah, lucky turtle. While we're freezing in middle Europe, there are some lucky creatures that get to enjoy the sun and the crystal clear water right now. Envy? You should :-). It's called summer and since they probably don't have winter at all, the unlucky ones would have to endure it the whole year round. Boring isn't it?

Decorative Art: Lavender Field
I would like to imagine how to live in this house surrounded by lavenders. It must feel like having a bath with some lavender scented candles and bubble soap :-). It has a very relaxing effect, I mean the bath ;-). I love lavenders, must be the color and the smell. I have some in the house as decor but just currently replaced by christmas ornaments. They'll for sure be back after the holiday.

Photography: Lake Shore IV
What a beautiful morning scenery. Well it could be a sunset but looks like the sun is still going to rise :-). Tis a very nice day today here. I feel good, far better from being sluggish yesterday. I guess I can finish tons of work and that's great because I've been quite behind with some things. Hope everyone's having a beautiful day too!

Vintage Art: Belgian Coast
Really there is? Hm apparently haven't been to Belgium. At this time of the year, it's also not fun to visit coastal areas aside from if you're a fun of wind chills. But in summer why not. I already have something in mind, probably not Belgium. Actually it doesn't matter where as long as there's blue water and sky. It will be fun fun fun!

Photography: Pointing the Way
I would say we've been so blessed for being guided always. There are just really times when it's not up to you anymore no matter how you plan things. I just feel like being on this boat and someone else is stirring and pointing me the way. You just let go and enjoy because life afterall is beautiful!

Vintage Art: Swiss Alps, Zermatt Matterhorn
I've seen the Alps and it was wonderful! We were on our way to Italy and since we had to drive by Switzerland, amazing landscapes were just hard to miss. I wish I had a good camera already back then. This is what comes in mind when I think of Switzerland: the Alps, landscapes, chocolates and watches! I don't think I could ever go skiing so I'd settle for chocolates and watches :-).

Fine Art: Red Boats at Argenteuil, c.1875
It was a very nice weekend for us here. Sunday started to be a bit windy but at least the sun was shining. Down the river walk was great, was able to take some photos though quite tricky because of the light. Seen some boats passing by but no pretty red boats. I always wanted other colors but quite hard on this time of the year, just lots of orange and gray. It's called autumn I guess :-).

Photography: The Hammock
When it's cold, rainy and gray, who wouldn't want to be in a place like this. Aside from the very enticing scenery, I like how the photo is composed. The whole thing looks actually like a face with the hammock as the smiling lips. I can pretty much understand why one would be all smiles while being in such a gorgeous place.

Vintage Art: La Cote d'Azur
It's time to get out! Fly somewhere blue maybe ;-). I love travel posters, well especially the vintage ones. They just make you go there. But why not? It's also not healthy to be in front of my machine all the time. I actually just realized that computers are possesive, they want you to be with them a lot! See, I'm now late for my lunch. Got to go, have a nice day everyone! Nice weather here by the way, enjoying it!

Decorative Art: Village on the Water
I'm always attracted to this kind of villages, maybe because I have lived in one. One day I would go back or probably go somewhere similar and settle down there. Whereever it is, there's gonna be a small boat. Big boats, hm, I might consider as well so long it's not bigger than my house :-).
