Looking up...

i've got this strange crane fascination... 






i just can't resist photographing them, 
could watch them all day...
weird i know
 ;) 




Poppy love



i was once asked, if i were a flower which one would i want to be? 
a poppy.


they're delicate, flexible and strong;
pretty in bloom and dry... 












Around here...


Friday was a day of goodbyes, 
always hard...
the story of being an expat...



but our hearts are full 
of the precious moments we shared
:)



!

i was hoping to get some 
computer work done today


but this little Miss-Madame has decided otherwise...

Trip


we had sun 


we had fun


 and we cruised.

Time out

cold Switzerland! 
and now we are off to 
Cape Town 
for a little sunny adventure!


see you soon

Patience


according to numerology 
2013 should be my year of patience...
 but now 
patience is absolutely not my 
forte.

while in the Maldives, 
inspired by artist Lisa Congdon
i made my first accordion 
book



and filled it with 
little shapes and drawings
 loved it very addictive indeed. 



and that's how i'll be working
on my patience issues
;)

a steep learning curve, 
loads of ups and downs, 
great satisfaction.

mission accomplished
