LATE AFTERNOON

A place to breathe

SUMMER PLANS

Summer is here and these are my plans 😊 ...
Relaxing and taking afternoon naps 😴
Reading simple and beautiful books 📚
Eating lots of fresh summer fruits 🍒🍉🍈🍑🍇🫐 and cooling salads 🍅🥒🫑🫜🥕🥗
While knitting a lovely cotton top 🧶 (the one in the photo is Bris tee by Rauma Garn, which I'm knitting following the original Norwegian instructions with a little help from google translate 😉 and using the soft cotton yarn requested in the pattern)

🕯️On Summer Solstice I enjoy having candles lit in the house. To celebrate light and beauty!🕯️

NAPPING

After lunch it feels good to take a little nap especially on a hot Summer's day ;)
Good old Matilda is 17 but still in very good shape ♡

SUMMER

Blue clear skies, yellow flowers and hot weather today

MORNING WALK

Walk this morning. The dried land with green patches and wild delicate flowers. High Summer. The bright light

LAVENDER

The lovely scent of fresh lavender on a Summer's day ... enjoy!

SUMMER

Looking for some beauty in these high Summer days ...

À procura de alguma beleza nestes dias de Verão ...

THE BEACH . PART II

The view from the bedroom window with the beach down below with the sea in front, nothing else but the sea The dunes and its flora ... the beautiful blue/purple eryngium maritimum and the sunny yellow curry scented helichrysum italicum and some more finds along the shore ...

A vista da janela do quarto com a praia lá em baixo e o mar em frente, nada mais do que o mar
As dunas e a flora ... os bonitos azuis/lilás dos eryngium maritimum e os amarelos vivos com cheiro a caril dos helichrysum italicum e algumas outras coisas encontradas ao longo do areal ...

THE BEACH . PART I

The morning woke up enveloped in white mist 

The stretch of sand a blank canvas

Wet by salty sea and the rain

Smooth, clean, untouched

Ready for sketches as I walked barefooted 

By my side the never ending thundery sound of the clear green cold grey water

The waves crashing rolling one upon the other

Rolling one after the other

Crumbling into soft foam and disappearing

The seagulls inventing a flight as I passed just to return when the distance was safe

Smart gulls!

Round shaped, rectangular shaped, unspecified shaped rocks lying along the shore 

Resembling fat seals waiting for rays of sun

Which would only appear much later in the day
