Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today we have a pink or purple day at Color My World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is : made of leather.
Yesterday, I had truly a hard time with Flickr. I was unable to publish my picture until the late morning but then everything was super slow …. I hope it will not happen today !!! Or ever again ! It is super frustrating if you are a Flicker addict such as myself…
So my todays’s picture is an old leather baseball ball and a pink pencil. Of course, as you may all suspect by now, I have absolutely no idea how , when or with how many people play baseball. My only knowledge of baseball is this ball (which I found in a park near my house, and since I’m a hoarder I had it in my home ever since…) made of leather, a bat (which I dont have …yet ;-)) and some very handsome men running in spandex-lycra clothing…. I also know that the ball has to be placed on some kind of « stick » which is represented here by my pencil….
I hope my leather ball will be accepted for this challenge. I wish you all an amazing day and see you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

Anything goes for 2021 - Out of my comfort zone
I thought I would take a photo of the berries on the berberis bush in my garden. A nice quick simple photo...but then I decided to add a few textures, finishing with a red petal with raindrops on it. So my simple photo ended up taking a lot longer than I had planned. I'm not sure it was worth the effort, I probably should have stayed in my comfort zone and set up a still life!
Smile on Saturday#Full of Memories
St. John's wort ready for drying
My strongest memories are of my grandmother. In addition to bearing her name, I also have many of her qualities and her loves. From her I learned to love flowers and birds, to cook and make wonderful sweets. She taught me how to dry herbs. This is my favorite picture because whenever I look at it I can even feel the atmosphere and smell of that herb as she prepares it for drying. The light in the picture is exactly what I remember, a constant play of light and darkness, because her house was surrounded by large trees, so the sun was breaking through the branches. As a background, I used the door from her kitchen cupboard and the plate from her garden table. Yes, I loved her very much and I miss her very much but I am happy that she knew I loved her.
HSoS!
Knowing a piece of this wonderful country...its historical heritage, its culture, cuisine and mix of many people...I thank Portugal for the reception (December 2019).
I loaded memory cards with about 700 photos, but I will try during this period to download the ones that I liked the most, I hope you enjoy them.
(of the series: trip to Portugal)

The Tower of the Winds or the Horologion of Andronikos Kyrrhestes is an octagonal Pentelic marble clocktower in the Roman Agora in Athens that functioned as a horologion or "timepiece". It is considered the world's first meteorological station. Unofficially, the monument is also called Aerides (Greek: Αέρηδες), which means Winds.

Tension Spring rescued from the floor of the car, probably fallen off during the many times we have moved our kids between rented properties as students and since. It was destined for the bin but I took a shine to it and squirrelled it away.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is « full of memories ».
When I was about 9 years old, we moved from Poland to Algeria. My Dad was working there. As a little girl I missed my grandmother very, very much. Back then there was no internet and even telephone wasn’t a very efficient way of keeping contact between Poland and Algeria. So , for several weeks I was saving my lunch money to buy a gift for my grandmother. I got her this tiny necklace. I went to this flea market and I bargained with the seller until we both reach an acceptable price. And the necklace was mine.It is called « hamsa » (it means five) and it is a very, very popular amulet in Middle East. Hamsa is supposed to bring you good fortune and protect the bearer from the « evil eye ». It was a perfect gift for my grandmother, so far away from me… This amulet was supposed to protect her from anything bad. And it did !! My grandmother was always wearing this necklace. For years. The last time I saw her, she had her necklace with her. She told me that the necklace was reminding her of me and our family so far away but so close in her heart…. The necklace traveled with her, through Europe, Russia and almost to Japan. When she died, peacefully in her sleep wearing her necklace near her heart, she was at peace. At one point, I got my necklace back. It went from Algeria to Poland, from Poland all around the glob and then back to Montreal, Canada. Since then, I always keep it with me… I truly believe it will protect me from anything bad…and each time I touch it, it brings an amazing amount of very good memories.
And if you want to know more about « hamsa », here is the link : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamsa
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day and see you later!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
Otra más de este espectáculo de la naturaleza. Deseando que llegue el otoño para volver a visitarla con otro vestido. Esta primavera mis tarjetas SD hacen agua y verdín.

Today's Smile on Saturday theme is full of memories. A very interesting theme, but hard for me. I have so many wonderful memories. Many of them revolve around our boat and the family and friends who joined us cruising. But even limiting myself to boating photos, there were so many truly awesome places that we visited, I couldn't chose one. So I chose this one - an everyday type of place and scene. Put it in mono since it's a memory now, as is our boat, which we sold in early 2020.

THE DARKNESS EVENT (APRIL 5th to APRIL 28th)
SLURL EVENT :
blessing of Cossack. Without the blessing of God, no matter can not have success. Blessing involves the transfer of real power. It can powerfully influence the lives of those who have received the blessing. The kissing of the priest’s hand, which occurs when he gives the cross and blesses, has a special spiritual and moral significance. Receiving grace from God through the cross or priestly blessing, a person mentally kisses the invisible hand of God, which gives him this grace..The Cossacks of Russia, first of all, are the Cossacks, who appeared on the Don, the Lower Volga and the Urals.
The first official mention in Russian sources of the "Cossacks" refers to the XVI century.
Picture taken during the Cossack festival in Moscow (Luzhniki).
Sea of Sin
I’m swimming in
And I’m taking a dive
My mind’s in need
So my body feeds
And it keeps me alive
It gets better and better
As it gets wetter and wetter
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
But I don’t care
Sea of Sin
Through thick and thin
For better or worse
My mind’s in need
So my body feeds
And it quenches my thirst
You look cheaper and cheaper
As we sink deeper and deeper
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
‚cause I’ve been there
Here under God’s sky
His watchful eye
And all of the lies
My consolation prize
Sea of Sin
My second skin
My home from home
When I’m in doubt
My hands reach out
And I’m never alone
It gets wetter and wetter
As it gets better and better
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
And I repent
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
Yes I’m aware
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
‚cause I’ve been there
Sea of Sin
Know where you’ve been
And I don’t care

“That’s the magic of literature. We read a story, and something happens. We don’t know what or why, nor which sentence was responsible, but the world has changed and will never be the same again. Sometimes it take us several years to realize that a book tore a hole in reality through which we could escape from the pettiness and despondency of our surroundings” ~ The Book of Dreams
The center of your attention is whatever you choose.
Today, Mothers are front and center. Being a Mom carries a lot of weight. It is a blessing, but can feel like a burden at times. Both burdens and blessing are heavy. A blessing carries the weight of resposibility.
I would encourage every woman to be a blessing to others by stepping up to be a mother figure to whoever needs one.
A good woman is a blessing.
A good man is a blessing.
A good daughter is a blessing.
A good son is a blessing.
A good friend is a blessing.
Be blessings to one another not burdens.
Thank you all for your kind favs and comments. YOU are a blessing!
Happy Mother's Day!

"Bliss of Solitude"
Time is healing,
Some worse feeling.
I am happy,
It's getting better,
The pain of Solitude.
I intrigue,
Why to share?
So let it be,
As nobody care.
Thank God! I overcame,
Got affected,
But not broken down.
So can see the changes in the rules.
It's a new game.
No more alibis (Excuses)
Thoughts have grown,
The choice is mine,
In this Game of Poker (Life)
I am a Queen,
With a hidden Crown ..
(Tamanna)
An architectural masterpiece, property of the Crown and then a royal residence, Château de Chenonceau is a truly.
exceptional site by its original design, but also its history: loved, managed and protected by women, including Diane of Poitiers and Catherine de Medicis, it is also known as the ‘Château des Dames’. The feminine touch is everywhere; it has protected the Château from the ravages of war and made it a peaceful place.
Outside, the gardens of Catherine de Medicis and Diane of Poitiers emphasise the elegance of this unique landscape between sky and water. From the Jardin Vert designed by Bernard Palissy to the Italian maze and the floral harmony of the vegetable garden, the spirit of Chenonceau can be felt everywhere. The ‘tranquillity of the soul’ is coupled with ‘aristocratic serenity’.
