A swallow in the summer

When I watch that small swallow and I think of the distance it will fly for the summer, I really can only admire the nature for creating all that magic.
Yes it is magic because next summer it will return to the same place to create a family, grow its small and prepare them for the long flight.
And I will find my way back home for the winter too. I hope to be able to recognize that bird next year.

In Vino Veritas

 

IMGP9745The old saying “In Vino Veritas” literally means “truth from wine”, which call be translated into getting someone drunk enough can make that person to tell the truth. Old people say that when a person is drunk, she/he is the truth self. So before becoming a wine, the grape grows and take sun and all necessary stuff to became one day a great wine.
Today is the hottest day during that summer. I am sure that at night a glass of good wine will make the freshness of the night even more enjoyable. Cheers!

The crazy art of Nature

IMGP9732.jpgIf you look carefully at the picture you can see eyes, nose and two legs. It looks just like an animal, although it is a dry flower, which I find near the road.
As kid I loved to play the game in which you have to imaging what clouds look like. The winner is the person who can image the biggest number of things.
Now I am still playing that game. But without the competition element.

Just before opening

Long time ago when I first read The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm I was so impressed with many things, but I will never forget the example with the flowers. If you like the flowers so much why killing them for your personal pleasure for a short period of time?
Since then I started making pictures of the flowers I like and leaving them to live their life.
That flower soon will open and will be as beautiful as you have eyes to see it. Just try.

Small, Red and Chilli

IMGP9696.jpgPeople say that every picture has a story. That one is not an exception. Those small, red and hot (chilli) peppers are very special present to me by a friends I’ve met in my paradise.
So if you are all in paradise and you are friends, every smile, every gesture and every smiling eyes are present that show us that we are alive.
Believe me, the time is much better if you find a place, you can call a paradise. Even only for the summer.

The flower of the Sun

We have all the choice – to see the small things in life and be happy, or to regret all the time for the big material things we cannot afford at the moment.
I choose the first. It’s up to you what choice you will make. But remember that whatever we buy, there will be always thing or things that you don’t have at the moment – new ones, better ones or…

And if you go in the magic circle, you will never find time to enjoy what you have now.
