On Sunday 12th I’ll fly to Málaga again.

This time I’m trying to learn to speak Spanish -

last time it was mainly grammar…

Here are a couple of shots I took 2.5.2013

I’m sure it’s going to be greener when I come back in June

I’ll pack my VAIO and….

on Sunday this view is waiting for me!

(not this early in the morning though)

Let see if I have time to blog during my four week ‘holiday’ but I’ll try.

weekend #18/2013 photos

I’ve been walking almost every day.

Here are a couple of pics I’ve shot when

I’ve had a camera with me…

This fellow was as happy as me – spring is finally in Helsinki!

Next week we’ll have almost summer temperatures!

(but it’s getting cooler at the end of the week)

Soon this will be dry and green…

Next week I’ll travel again….to

Málaga, Spain to continue study Spanish!

FINALLY most of the snow is gone!

A hungry swan…with a fragile shadow

You can see small, yellow spots here and there…

I started to Nordic walk again and got ‘repetitive strain injury’

But I walk, every day.

Trying to lose 3.7 kgs (8.1 lbs) till 19th of June.

I calculate calories and try to move at least 2500 calories per week.

argh! Daily life is so difficult!

I try to rest my wrist so it would heal quicker….

Typing is hard but I try to use my fingers, the wrist is what I need to keep still.

Photo challenge’s this week’s theme is

inspiration

My most important inspiration is the SUN but

I have not been able to shoot a picture of it -

it’s been grey or rainy and plus today very windy.

In this picture colors and textures are my inspiration -

The other day I noticed shadows of the window blind on a packet of napkins…

Have you been on a hot-air balloon ride? Did you like it?

I have not – I rather stay on the ground

SPRING!

Pavements are covered with grit…

Soon these plants will be much bigger…

 I have still plenty of time to enjoy

a cup of coffee -or more – before it’s really warm in Helsinki …

I played with the sun and magnifying glass. Playing is FUN!
I like that strong, black contrast from the glass.
Here are a few of the results.

When I made this picture I didn’t see anything special but when I
edited it I saw a torero/bullfighter -

do you agree or do you see something else?

Wishing to be friends is quick work,
but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

‘When you educate a girl, everything changes.’

Room to Read

I started to paint/draw again.

Here’s one painting, Chinese ink and acrylics.

Here are a couple of details of that painting.

I’m self-made.

I always wanted to make myself a better person,

because I was not educated.

But that was my dream – to have class.
