c

And the sunflower at the window!!!

GOOD ADVISES ALWAYS WELLCOME

Advise from a friend that I promise to do my best TO FOLLOW!!!!

MORE OF THE SAME

And some marvelous corners swimming in the warmth of the sunlight!!

...SAME THEME...MORE CHARMS...

And what to say about the charm of "Italian Straw Hats"

...AGAIN MY DREAM JOURNEY...

Last Carnival is long past and the next one is still far away... But on this window shop was very much alive...So much that I was unable to resist this picture...

...AND THE GONDOLAS....

 

...And the gondolas... I wish I could have seen it on the time they were not a tourist attraction, but just a way of moving aroud before the watter taxis, the buses and so on... all watter transportation they invented to leave gondolas for tourists... I can imagine them and the clotings and I miss all I've never seen... Me and my ETERNAL nostalgia for what I never knew!!!!!

VENICE UPSIDEDOWN

A very unusual vision of the well known watch of Venice Watch Tower.... Just a reflection on S.Marcus place that was still flooded in spite of the 30ºC that I felt and thermometer marked at 10a.m. Pitty a slight wind and the lots of tourists jumping the watter didn't allow the picture I wanted to take... That's what was possible under the circunstances!!! But I like it JUST THE SAME!!!!!!

HIDDING FROM THE HOT WEATHER

During summer, if not on the beach I tend to be behind close doors, hibernating, avoiding the extreme hot... I like the summer but I feel physically better if I don't go out during the hottest hours....For some reason I putted my blog aside also!! Back now after a marvelous trip to Italy. Perhaps I'll show some of the photos and comment on what I've seen and felt...

FOOLISH FEELINGS

Those are the colours I wish would colour the rest of my life from now on... Gold over blue... My beloved M. seems to be developing a tender sweet relation with me and I have a sense of belonging and even being more understood and known as the person I really am... Both M&M give me feeling of more appreciation,,,Could it be true?... And even my Love and Reason to be alive my beloved C. seems to make an effort to soften up for it could last forever, but for the moment (and live is made of moments!) EVERYTHING SEEMS COMING MY WAY... Which is such novelty for me!

                                                    I AM HAPPY

MODERN TIMES

Still remember well the beginning of the mobile mania...I had one brick black, heavy, and that needed 2 loaded batteries, or it wouldn't last all my working day...It was a novelty and we had no much choice about ring tones... General idea was to have a phone at reach whenever needed... Things evolved so quickly that it became a sign of status... So the ring tones and the call rings became a sign of difference (and of incoming for others!).... This cartoon shows the side effects of too many call rings trying to be ORIGINAL!...

GOOD SUGGESTIONS

There are no formulas for happiness... (and what is IN FACT happiness?) But I came across this scheme, by mere chance and it made all the sense, at least for me, naive as I still manage to stay....

FOOLISH THINGS

The truth is that I am starting to use pictures and sentences from others and I'm not liking it cause , turns me lazy but the truth is that I come across them and they are exactly what I want, need to express...

HOW PAINFUL TO FIND IT OUT.... ..AND HOW IT HURTS TO CONFESS EVEN TO OURSELVES!.....

SIILY FEELINGS

Good advice.... Even BETTER advice.., LESSER troubles or problems....

Massive Attack - Live With Me

Harold's Planet Pilot 1999 - Pursued by Time (French version)

....I'M GOING.... I'M GOING!!! PLEASE JUST WAIT FOR ME A BIT MORE! KEEP SHINNING PLEASE...

And here the beauty and tradition of Alentejo learned to admire, enjoy, and even love.... HOW BEAUTIFUL IS TRADITION

MODERN TIMES

Chinese shops became a must in our country...They are everywhere with their red signs and Chinese characteres and translations do Portuguese like  "Loja da Abundancia" or "Casa da Paz" To my big amusement I found at a small village of Reguengos de Monsaraz this one with this shade to protect the window and an obvious Chinese name...LUCAS... Only the red colour of the letters helps to follow the new trend....LOLL

                                                   L'important c'est la Rose!... C'est la Rose!!...

                                                              

                                                  

                                                   

                                                           CROIS MOI

LUCKILY I LEARNED NOT TO CARE OR NOTICE WHAT (WHEN) THEY INTENTIONALLY DO IT.... AN THAT'S SO DAMN GOOD!!!!

"My Anti-Creativity Checklist" by Youngme Moon

It is really amazing the way things are explained by this woman that I admire more and more each time I discover a new concept of hers... How she teatches people to avoid the type of changing  everything so that everything stays the same...ASTONISHING!!!!

FOOLISH WISHES

Easy?? No way!...But as the song says smile, what the use of crying...and you'll find that life is still worthwhile if you ... SMILE

IT'S HARD TO ACHIEVE BUT ONCE IN A WHILE I GET THERE... OR I BELIEVE I DO....

I don´t believe that a funnier easier way of describing the phases in the life of men can be found.... HELLAS

"Different" by Youngme Moon

HOW I HATE THIS......

 How I hate this...

I go to the supermarket  the shopping center to the hairdresser and what do people talk about???

FOOTBALL

Crisis??? NO WAY... Nothing matters anymore,as long as Portugal wins and gets to the finals....

And I  find myself wishing just the opposite...That they return home defeated and that us people see the real country and the true victory that would be that we would get out of this economical, social and political crisis and turn on the bettering of all aspects that are really important...

WAKE UP PEOPLE...-. AND FORGET ABOUT THE CUP... WE HAVE OTHER GOALS AHEAD

The beauty of the sun, and the simple things we can find if we are attentive to simple details in small places... I just love it!
