a living flower


A flowerless room is a soulless room,
to my way of thinking;
but even one solitary little vase of a living flower may redeem it.

With a twist and a twirl



“Lithe and long as the serpent train,
Springing and clinging from tree to tree,
Now darting upward,
now down again,
With a twist and a twirl that are strange to see.”
William Gilmore Simms

camouflage-hidden in the meadow's grass



“Landscapes have a language of their own,
expressing the soul of the things,
lofty or humble,
which constitute them,
from the mighty peaks
to the smallest of the tiny flowers
hidden in the meadow's grass”

white camouflage


“Oft when the white,
still dawn lifted the skies and pushed the hills apart,
I have felt it like a glory in my heart”

''You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.''

my paradise garden






I love my garden, it is my very own paradise
Today I picked the first raspberry of the season.

I just had to paint it before I ate the sweet little berry
