alien beauty

yesterday's flowers

No clue what i was searching on my hard disk, when I bumped into these photos from last summer. Too vibrant not to show, especially since I'm in such a "garden mood" lately :).

Today's Flowers are actually in this case "yesterday's flowers" - but equally beautiful.

For Today's Flowers.

out in the open

Life without keys, with doors opened wide, not being bothered by the hungry look of the strangers, who peek inside, hoping to get a glimpse - at least! - of the authentic culture. Pots of flowers at every step, a chair and a table in front of every door - in case a neighbour comes by, to chat.

A life where all the dirty laundry are (literally) washed in public  would be unbearable for us.

We'd call this lack of privacy. They call this living in harmony.

As seen in Crete, for Today's Flowers.

one Cretan morning

The roads took us to Crete, giving us no time to prepare, research or even think about it, but offering the gift of unexpected and discovery.

One Cretan morning we got up too early for the habit of the place, and went off snapping (stealing?) still images of a silent break of the day.

This post is for Today's flowers, but also for my friend Clarisa, with whom I agreed to post in counterpart Cretan and Portuguese doors and windows.

blue and the bee - hosting Today's Flowers

What stories is the bee telling? Her humming reminds of honey, sweet and bright, of travels around oh, so many flowers. Which one is the prettiest? asks the blue. All of them! answers the bee.

I am hosting the 1st of August edition of Today's Flowers. Click HERE to see more wonderful blossoms from around the world!

beyond the thorns

Who said there is only sunny weather? Amidst the storm I'll get good hold even on the thorniest of bushes if this saves me from being taken away.

I'll stay. This time, this is my instinct.

postcards from Vienna

Today's flowers come from the Volksgarten in Vienna. With a view of the City Hall towers.

wild thing

If you want to feel the summer at its best, go to the fields. Not so early in the morning, the crickets still tell their stories and the sun burns not so badly. The eyes of both the photographer and the camera try hard to capture all the beauty of the season. Just don't be surprised then, when you find yourself humming "wild thing, you make my heart sing"...

Belvedere: beautiful views

The beautiful gardens of Belvedere Palace in Vienna, Austria. For Today's Flowers.

green green... salat of home

Why use flowers, or grass, when you can actually create a nice landscape with... salat?

already March - and monday - but with a lot of flowers

Already March!!! Yesterday was a sunnny day, like spring indeed. Today is moody - feels more like staying at home than working. To cheer up this mood, look at these wonderful flowers in Naschmarkt Vienna, some spring ago.
