dc vase

they come in all sizes, colors and materials

even a cup , a bottle or a bucket can be transformed into a vase

some are works of art 

some ask for flowers

a vase filled with flowers brightens, lightens up a room, 

it  brings nature's energy  inside

Ariane shows us often her vases filled with flowers, 

always a delight to look at

her theme had to be 'vase' sooner or later 

please visit her beautiful blog 'Rose' and find out about the inspiration this theme brought us.

happy weekend to you all

dc eye contact

and then among all those people,

those passengers, that crowd

my eyes meet someone else's eyes

eyes meet mine...just that little longer

more than just looking

 beyond the eyes

a kind of instinctive sensation

recognition

mysterious attraction

comfort, hope, reassurance

and it feels good

eye contact

please go and take a look at many more eye contacts

you will be pleasantly surprised

Stefanie, Ariane, Dania, Patrice, Roberto, Nadine, Cindi,

Susan, Tammie Lee, Kristen, Tanïa, Carole and Norma

but i surely will come looking into your eyes as soon as i can

thanks for your warm and encouraging comments

they are deeply appreciated

have a fine weekend

dc diamond

.

wonderful Norma came up with the theme 'diamond '

i was so enchanted with the green color of the 'diamond' she found .

so 'green' almost took over.

green, pigs and diamonds...maybe not an obvious association but:

in my head were images from a documentary i saw quite a while ago,

it was about a man and his pig that was trained to search for truffles in the woods somewhere in France.

the beautiful green light in that peaceful wood, the mossy trees and than that pig softly oinking and poking....

the truffles were sold for high prices and served the next day in

fancy restaurants to people in fine designer outfits wearing splendid jewelery  and sparkling 

DIAMONDS

please do visit Norma's lovely blog and see more shiny stones,

have a beautiful weekend

lizard and snail

one quick, the other slow,

one loves the sun, the other the rain.

dc numen

up 'till now we are having a mild winter here,

but last week we had some frost,

a thin layer of ice on water, on glass,

on the landscape, changing  colors and mood,

air that bites your face, your lungs,

slippery paths.

cold, smooth, tingling, pricking, freezing,

the numen of frost

 Tammie Lee presented us with a fantasitic theme this week,

please visit her lovely blog and se where she and the other participants  discovered 'numen'

have a beautiful weekend
