torino

im trying to get back on track on a friends happy,mini computer. not sure what i post or how it looks like. but here is torino. had a nice performance, tasty food, sunny skies and open thoughts. last time i was in torino i came there hitchhiking from belgium with two friends. we missed our flight to pisa and where so determined to get to italy that we decided try our luck. and we were pretty lucky alright...how are you all?

shedding a tear or two

my computer got stolen yesterday. four years of photography, the majority of it not backed up, is most likely gone with the wind. not to mention all the letters, and the music and...and...and... so much emotional value for me, and a relatively small sum of money for the one who stole it. it makes me think about how our things can end up owning us. a huge lesson in letting go, and putting things into perspective. and more than ever, i am thankful for the tiny tip of the iceberg which i documented here.

birdies

 

try your wings. leave your comfort zone. fly freely.

wishing you all a beautiful saturday. ♥

may may

   

plucking clover for the goats, playing the trusting game with my students, hiking up the mountains and documenting more bellies. many shades of grey, black and white although may is so very colorful. i had too much coffee this morning and i am a little bit on the late side. so goodbye for now.

a month and two days

he finally has a name, makes the most amazing facial expressions and likes to join us when we herd the goats. i am wondering if as a swedish god mother i should teach him some swedish? time flies, and i don’t get much blogging done. however, i am still alive and kicking.

@the studio in the book of life

 

adding to the new challenges, i think this is the beginning of a new chapter. but who keeps track of all those new chapters *more or less minor/major* that we start? in the end they all just sum up in that big life quilt we are stitching.

walpurgis

my view is slightly cluttered. spring is officially here. i am welcoming and embracing new challenges.

love.

there are posters hanging in tel aviv/yaffa with the sentence: ‘are you an urban creature?’ and each time i see them i feel like heidi from the mountains. no, i am not an urban creature, but if you let me walk the streets i like to walk in the pace i like to pace, finding urban treasures and getting lost with the people i care for you will see a pretty much happy mountain girl. enjoy your weekend folks, enjoy the last days of april.

the ritual

 

he is grooming and i am shooting away. what a privilege to have the allowance.

getting ready

greetings from a busy bee in a busy week. trying to remember to see the details while rushing slowly, if possible. 

break

i loved to watch this woman from behind. her dreaming gaze, her bare feet, the scarf in her hair. taking a break at the seaside.

i am also taking a break today. (hoping no one is capturing that from behind…)staying in my pj’s all day long. drinking fruit shakes while thinking about this and that. i say that’s legitimate when you are having a busy week ahead of you. hugs to you all, wonderful people.

sleepover’s

        

it’s a week of sleepover’s. jumping from one place to the other. have a good one!

 

hello sunday

   

all i see is spring. sorry for the overdose of trees, leaves, blossom and strange questions. i forget to photograph all the people i met the past few days, and they happen to be many. so many that i stopped counting. pretty amazing how extremely different life-stories there are in the world. and how their paths sometimes end up crossing yours. now, all that’s left to do is to leave this saturday behind and wake up when it’s sunday. sleep tight! ♥

there and here and here and there

  

eating the first ice cream of the season (yoghurt and passion fruit), disturbing someone’s cigarette break, talking to plants, finding patterns here and there, walking in the forest, feeling my muscles, writing rhymes while dreaming, thinking about far away friends, writing and sending letters, drowning in the fresh bloom of lilacs and having a similar loop of questions like then (add a few new ones, subtract a few old ones, mix and stir). that’s where i am, halfway through april, how about you?

café de cerise

  

one of those days when your gut feeling is telling you something is about to happen.

it took me a cup of coffee to notice a cherry tree blossoming above me
