My dears, I’d like to share with you a few thoughts and pictures from our latest trip to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Montreal. We went to the same festival last year too, but personally I enjoyed this year’s more, despite having had to wait for four hours before the balloons took off. I [...]

This is my darling sister in her wedding dress plus the heart-shaped glasses I like to incorporate in a lot of my photos. Check out other cute shade-inclusive photos at I Heart Faces.    

Hello? Can you hear me? Is this thing on? Before you say anything, I know my last post dates back to the first Ice Age. My mind has been in so many places lately, divided between bits of thoughts and worries and various stress causes. And the blog has been neglected. But, BUT! not abandoned. [...]

There’s a problem with one of the (many) servers which reside, camouflaged under a desk, in our living room. So the blog may be down again.   In the meantime, if by some miracle the servers hold their positions, let me tell you how much I love this Indian summer thing. Oh boy! A lot. [...]

Flickr is such a great mood enhancer! Especially now when we don’t really see the light of day that much, I love searching for colorful images. The way the images look in the collage from my Favorites page, makes them seem even nicer. Like colored beads in a necklace.     My favorites set is [...]
