"Alas my love, ye do me wrong to cast me out discourteously,

And I have loved you for so long delighting in your company...

Greensleeves was all my joy,

Greensleeves was my delight,

Greensleeves was my heart of gold

And who but Lady Greensleeves..."

~ A traditional English folk song

Have you ever thought about gifts given by God, but you used to them so you don’t often remember they’re gifts ?

Of course there are many many gifts to be grateful for God for, and thinking about those who don’t have them, but lets think about one of them at a single time.

Today I was thinking about “voice” !... yes, our voices are gifts, the best manner to communicate with people, animals and even plants !!! ..... yeah I told you once I talk to my plants !!!!.... crazy !!! :D

The voice have a very powerful impact on our hearts, minds, and souls... you always love to hear the voice of your beloved one, you always need to hear a lovely word from your friend, a wish, a prayer, or even a song !!! :)

I used to sing to my friends at collage, and they loved my voice singing, so today I was thinking I missed my voice singing, and began to sing this song... Greensleeves... I love this song so much, and I just loved having fun time with myself in singing :) .... of course beside the chocolate bar I hide from Ma in my drawer !!!!! :D

And as I said once to my friend James, I love also to read his stories with a little load whispering voice to add some “sound effects” on it !! hehehe... and believe me, this is so cool !!!.... specially with his so beautiful scary stories :D

So, go and have some fun with voices, gather your family and friends under the candlelight and sing to them, or read them a story, and don’t worry about if your voice is terrible !!!! :D .... just have fun !!! :))

My little happiness moment from today

I love how the grapes leaves are dangling gently and waving smoothly with the wind, and with the sun lights penetrating them, they look like curtains of lights, so lovely to walk through them in the main passage of our garden and touching your face, and also a wonderful subject for photos :))

because Life is Beautiful ♥

Have a wonderful relaxing weekend !!

When is it the time we start to think pleasures have to come from money or spending big bucks? May be 20's, 30's or 40's?

Did you have that in your recent vacation? You fly on expensive air ticket and go to foreign cities, stay in pricey hotels and eat fine dining. And we believe pleasures come from these big spending. We need to get away from home and spend in order to become happy.

Do we still remember a few pieces of papers and the get together with little friends doing origami? Did you forget those simple joys of colours, shapes and laughters when you were still a child?

Do you still remember these simple joys?

One of the tasks of photography is to discover these simple joys in our life too.

Have a great Monday and week!

This is origami seen at Steveston last weekend.

For my very dear best friend, Ran, otherwise known as BlueLunarRose. Have a great Monday, Ran.

Today I met a wonderful American couple who came to Italy to celebrate her 60th birthday and his being cancer free (stage 4) for six years. They met 16 years while traveling in Europe from the different parts of the States. Interesting how many surprises life has in store for us, and they not always bad.

Moments worth to live....

...happy blue monday/monday blues, y'all!

I feel the breeze touch my skin and the sun shine on my face, an amazing sensation, but I feel that something is missing. Feelings, desires, inexplicable things, always seeking for something more, but what?

"This is my word, this is my way

Show me a sign, sweep me away

This is my word heart breaker, gatekeeper

I'm feeling far away, I'm feeling right there

Deep in my heart, deep in my mind

Take me away, take me away

This is my word dream maker, life taker

All I believe, Is it a dream?

That comes crashing down on me?

All that I own

Is it just smoke and mirrors?

I want to believe

But all that I own

Is it just smoke and mirrors?

All that I've known, buildings of stone

Fall to the ground without a sound

This is my word heart breaker, gatekeeper

I'm feeling far away, I'm feeling right there

I'm starting to cave, I'm losing my flame

I wanted your truth, but I wanted the pain

Disappear dream maker, life taker"🎶Imagine Dragons

You may experience that breath-taking sight by yourself

from the highest possible viewpoint of Château du Haut-Koenigsburg

in the beautiful region of Alsace in France :)

Get lifted!

All my days in the garden are wonderful, especially at this time, all hibernated animals woke up, tens of birds of many kinds come to build their nests in trees, making a natural symphony all the day, wherever I walk I see a turtle taking a sunbath, spending my time chasing bees until they get bored of me !! ... so they fly towards me and give me a “zzzzzzz” warning !!! :D

But I didn’t see a frog yet, because the Evil cats frighten them away !!!! x(

Any way, that day that I see a Hedgehog in... is the perfect day for me !!! :D

Well I can’t say that I found him unintentionally, hehehe... of course I was looking for him, then I found him under an old piece of wood sleeping !!!.... sleeping out of his hole in the daylight ?? that must be a crazy hedgehog didn’t hear about me yet !!! hehehe :D

So, of course I took tens of photos for him before set him free :)

Now I have to write a special quote.... hmmmm........

“Having a boring day ? Having a lot of life issues to solve ? Feeling with darkness ? ....... Go cuddle a Hedgehog !!!!!” ...... :D

Have a great weekend my friends !!!

And with Hedgehogs, Life is More Beautiful ♥ ... Set - Group
