The flowers certainly stand out on the bicycle. They would be noticed riding down the busy roads in Amsterdam.

Yes, Love your picture through the wall. I have a rusty, metal garden decoration that has a heart cut out of it. I have photographed through the heart and gotten some fun images. A very fun thing to do. Thanks for the reminder to also look for shapes when traveling. Our cameras do help us to look at the world differently.

Framing the picture
Look beyond what's in front of you. See the bigger picture. But sometimes the best part of the picture is the frame. Photo taken through patterned concrete wall opening in the Himalayan foothills, Nepal.
Looking at these picture makes me want to be sitting outdoors in the yard with beautiful red chairs and chandeliers, plus that yellow cart sipping something fruity and yummy. What beauties you find here. Lovely pillows too!

Fuel: or how not to get anything done.....
In order to do anything one must get fueled up for it. Eat. Sharpen the pencils. Ponder tidying things up. Observe the accidental by products of creativity. Look at other people's work. Give up and take the dog for a walk. Ponder the Christmas tree's last evening. Look at gho...

Books are always a temptation, but too far to come right now. We are trying to lighten the load now before we need to move again, whenever that would be. It does feel good. I hope your move goes well.

Time to lighten the load
Ever feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Time to lighten the load. No doubt about it: moving is stressful. I've lived in Paris longer than any place in my adult life, yet it never has felt like home. Amsterdam, where I've never lived (but have visited many times over th...

Fenêtre de lumière, Printemps, Paris. "There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." - Edith Wharton. Wishing you and yours much love and light, at Christmas and the New Year.

Advent. Christmas anticipation. Christmas preparations. How I miss having children around. To read for, to craft with, bake with, play with. I have a quiet day today, I sit in the coach with a mug of tea, a cupcake made by Marta yesterday, I play some Christmas music, I look out the window and...
I will probably come back and read your links, but right now it is making me too angry to read. You are so right about the obstructionists. How can so many stupid people in the US keep voting for them and believe they are in their best interest. It is just beyond me. I am also disappointed in Obama and I had such hope.

I have missed visiting the past few days. I love the creche, but don't really collect them. I think I have three, plus a little cardboard fold out one like I had as a child. Your creche collection sounds so special, what a lovely tradition. Having one also from Syria is extra wonderful too.

When I saw that we were suppose to put our childhood fantasy character on FB I wasn't sure who I would put there. I always fantasized I was a girl pilot. But don't have a specific character in mind.

Yes, it is a great quote and love the picture. As a Quaker, we are taught to sit in silence. Last week we went to a wedding that had both silence from the Quaker bride and cathedral music from the Episcopalian groom. It was interesting to see the difference.
