noticing # 5

stop. breathe. listen.

to the sounds of nature

to your intuition

to the tiny bits of joy blooming around you

happy weekend!

noticing # 4

we still have fresh blueberries around here. they are my favourite kind of berry, but soon they’ll disappear from the markets. blueberries are called superfood or power food, they have lots of vitamins, minerals, fibers, and almost no calories. for sure i’ll miss them in the following months.

have a great day!

i could call myself a light-catcher.

silence and sunshine. five minutes of joy after the early morning rush.

noticing # 1

i need to give a boost to my creativity.

i have lots of ideas popping up, but i’m always procrastinating, saying it’s ok if i leave it for tomorrow and then at the end of the week and month i’ve done nothing!

i need discipline, routine, but at the same time, i want freedom. i know, for sure, that my projects should involve photography and words so i decided to register what i notice around me, little things along the way.

i’ll give it a try, i’ll post every day a photography and few words that come to my mind. hope you enjoy!

here is my first ‘noticing’

the exact moment when we discover that we can bloom,

each one in a particular way,

but nevertheless showing off our true essence.

fall is in the air

kids are back to school and after 8 months i’m back to my job! i’m starting slowly, part-time for now, it’s incredible that after all these months i still need more time for recovering.

Well, i don’t have words to say how much i’m grateful and blessed to be on my feet and going back to the routine; sitting at my desk, talking with my co-works and students, walking around campus during lunch time, spotting all beauty around me.

i made this apple-orange-oatmeal loaf, as a treat, for my kids for the first day of school. my little one is starting high school and the older one is starting the university. both are excited at the start of a new path on their journey.

my garden is each day prettier. the weather is cooling down, so the flowers and vegetables are blooming.

the days are getting short and short, early morning is still dark. it’s time to start turning my attention to the beauty and light indoors. autumn is a wonderful time to slow down and reflect on what matter most for us.

Hope you have a lovely sunday and spot few beauties on your way.

art pages

i joined an art party last evening on IG. it was lots of fun to get together with people around the world and create few pages. if you wish, you can check it using #septglueparty18. I used my tiny red moleskine for my pages. i really enjoy tiny art!

first prompt: which color describes you? – the first color to come to my mind is yellow. my older son was close by and i asked him the question, he said yellow!!! wow, this made me happy 🙂

second prompt: texture – i mixed up some pieces of paper and added this gorgeous lips, i love messy art!

third prompt: circles & lines – no much work here, only pieces and bits from leftover pages.

fourth prompt: a quote from jack kerouac “life must be rich and full of loving, it’s no good otherwise, no good at all, for anyone.” of course, if you know me, you know that self-love is on the top of my priority list.

hope you enjoyed to have a look at my pages. have a great week!

hugs,

august moments

august 31st! already? oh yes, this month is in hurry! i haven’t done much, but i’m enjoying each moment and beauty around me. little pleasures, ordinary moments, simplicity, and gratitude are what i look for day by day.

i enjoy the sunrise while drinking a cup of coffee in the morning and in the evening i watch the sunset by the river.
