first signs of a new season.

...the first warm rays of sunshine inspired me to experiment a bit with light and shadow.

And perfectly fitting to that early spring sunshine, the lovely Polly from Passer Domesticus (an adorable blog, by the way) gave me the sunshine award -thank you, dear Polly! I'm getting a lot of internet love at the moment, and I'm very thankful for that.

I know that these awards always have strict rules, questions to answer and so on, but I'm not a "tag" person, and I certainly don't like to follow rules (Oh, I'm such a rebel!!!), but I do like that they always request to mention some other lovely poeple in the blog world. So I'll only take that one part of the game and name 5 wonderful blogs off my personal reading list...just like that, without any awards or rules, if you pardon me.

Here we go:
u mnie (which is a tumblr not a blogspot, but hey, no rules, right?), unexpected behaviour of light, Alexandria Daniels, Cinnamon Girl (yummy!!..I adore good baking blogs, let me know if you have any recommendations!), and last but not least James H Duncan , who is not a photographer, but a wonderful Writer and Poet.

another tale of the forest.

a room for two.

The room Asim and I are sharing for nearly two months now, starts to feel more warm and comfortable...more like a home. I'm guessing a big part of that comfort comes from the friendliness you spoiled me with over the last days. All your comments on my last post helped me focusing on the positive side of things, and it was very calming to read that so many of you once had the same problems that I do now. But I wasn't only supported with wonderful comments, I also got a blog award from Abigail Oliveros from ayvenart , thank you for that Abigail, it means a lot to me. And as if all that kindness wasn't enough, I found the sweetest surprise yesterday, the lovely Dulcie from Human Sea made a beautiful post about my blog. Human Sea is a wonderful place in this sometimes dull internetworld and I feel very honoured to find myself a little part of it now -thank you so much, dear Dulcie, your words were too kind.

we packed up home and left.

Sorry that it took me so long to come back to my beloved blogworld, but the move was more straining than I thought it would be. My poor Asim got really scared when eight big men came and started packing up our home in a huge van. And I guess he knew that we wouldn't come back when we left the empty apartment, because he didn't wanted to move away from the front door, he laid on the ground and it took some hard work to convince him to come with me. The whole 4 hour drive to our new apartment he was shaking all over his body -it broke my (already homesick) heart! But don't worry, he is settling in quite well by now...we both are! We have a wonderful big park right next to our new home, and more green spots around than we could ever dream off. I hope to soon show you some pictures from our new place and environment.

Oh, before I forget, do you have any good tips for recovering from a bad allergy attack? I'm trying shake off the dust allergy that is torturing my lungs since packing tons of books in and out of 50 moving boxes -most important New Year's resolution: dusting up all the books every week!!!!
