whisper and desires

the weekend was cold and snowy, 

but there are moments i can already smell Spring, 

just a hint 

my fingers itch to get out there in the garden

 and clear away the dry stems and leaves from last year,

prune the roses and plant out the pansy seedlings i sowed last year,

i long for fllowers, for bees and birds and sun on my face,

whisper and desires

dc glass

squirrel ;  little forester, you belong to the woods, the green

(i remember a place in my childhood, a great aunt's house,

 she had a 'decoration piece' made out of mounted squirrels playing cards,

i was very upset the first time i saw it ,i never liked that great aunt)

ladybird/ bug ;tiny, nevertheless  always noticed and appreciated

dc lighthouse

maybe you are a lighthouse

guiding me along steep cliffs 

 new shores

we meet and part

again , again

 and over again

i will not drown

you will not burn

we are water and land 

we glow

blazing mirrors

in a dark night

this week's theme is lighthouse, in dutch the word is 'vuurtoren'  (loosely translated: tower of fire),

i like  both these words

please take a look at the work and inspiration

robin and frog (and a fly)

 still working on my animal book,

i'm picking native animals that live around here, in the woods, by the water,  in the garden

but there will be also domestic animals , 

for each animal i work with a thought in mind, a sentence,

for example frog ;' i like the beautiful reflection of a frog in the water, his bare skin is human like to me, fragile'

or robin ; he is always there outside in winter, on his own, not the best of friends with the other birds, bold but gorgeous'

dc stamps

dear Helen presented us with the theme 'postage stamp' this week,

i started to create a stamp which became a stamp- postcard with it's own stamp

(still following me:))

diamonds and roses

garden

winter is not over yet

the sun , still standing very low 

i breathe little clouds

 watch  a pair of collared doves in the bare birchtree

and when i  direct my gaze to the ground during my daily garden walk

i see things are changing

it slowly 'greens' out there
