FOR BOB THE BIRD LOVER - AND FOR YOU :-)

My husband was on a three week business trip to Australia last month. These  photos were taken during an excursion to a State Nature Park not far from Canberra on one of the free weekends.

More tomorrow.

HANDS

Hands - these two here are good, strong, and pretty hands, and belong to two people very close and dear to me!

Hands are always beautiful, young hands, old hands, small hands, big hands, strong hands, fragile hands. 

They are a gorgeous, fantastic, magnificent tool of our body. Yes, they deserve all of these strong words.

Hands are the greatest blessing ever. Hands have a soul of their own - I do believe that.

We can do the best things with our hands, marvelous things, outstanding things, simple things. We can love with them, create with them, comfort with them, sign with them, the list is endless.

They can dance gracefully to music - and without.

They can plant a seed, and they can plant a tree.

They could change the world, if we only could decide never to use them for violence! 

Let us love and cherish our hands. We must be grateful for our hands, we should thank them everyday!

SHIBOLI - my new best friend

 

 

 

What a character he is, strong and confident, don't mess with him, he will protect me fiercely!

GOING TO THE OPERA?

I AM BACK :-)

I was not present at my blog for almost two months. I needed some time out. I am longing now to be back, and I will.

Today we are celebrating the Jewish New Year and I wish to everyone to whom it concerns a HAPPY AND SWEET NEW YEAR! May we all be healthy, and may we have peace...

And to whom it does not concern I wish the same as well. :-)

The first autumn flowers are blooming - promise of a new cycle of growth and beauty.
