The capture of the day

There is no need to go faraway to catch the picture of the day. Take this flower. All I had to do was to step one step out of the front door and there it was. A hanging basket decorating the front of our building is right by the front door and so, literally, I do not need to take more than a step to see the capture of the day.

The small blossoms of different colours work so well together. You can just imagine how well this compliments the pale facade of the building. It simply stands out.

I just love when it all very naturally creates patterns. Here the blossoms create a diagonal line going up, aiming high, being reminded of the diversity in life at the very top of the line.


On an emotional scale, with such a colourful palette, a start to a day or indeed a week is so joyful, so helpful. Similarly, to be welcomed by the same cheerful palette at the end of the day injects a bit of energy to the remains of the day.

And this is how I start and finish every day. It i not bad, not bad at all. K-)

The tree ducks

It is the 1st of December. Time can fly so fast when it wants, you have to give it to it. When I woke up today and realised the reality, I begun to wonder. What happened this year, personally and globally and can I still do something to make this year stand out in more positive colours?

Exactly like this little symbol of life holding on a branch even though the weather is gradually turning cold towards winter.

All with a touch a lightness and a lot of freedom like this bird that glides graciously through the skies…

…and also all with a look of bewilderness that is so familiar to me.

How often have I expressed a sense of wonder on the smallest, the most trivial objects or scenery?

Far too often, I know. But there is really a lot to discover even somewhere round the corner. What I like most about all this is when I discover certain links; when objects or occasions link onto each other. To be able to do this seems to be a favourite of mine this year.

And so, this particular picture sums up my achievements this year very well. The three ducks in a row, one following the one in front, heading to its destination, leaving it all open yet full of hope...

On this philosophical note, have a lovely week and see you next time. K-)
