Grey sunday

First of all thanks so much for your sweet words. You are so kind....

Lehenik eta behin, mila esker hor egoteagatik eta zuen hitzengatik...

Muchas gracias por vuestras palabras, por estar ahí....

First photos are of my little "garden". Aromatic flowers that are growing high,a bit of colour inside and an aloe vera that is a bit weak. Next are wild beautiuful flowers that in grey sundays seem more beautiful.

Lehen argazkietan lehioko landareak ikusten dira. Kolore apur bat barnekaldean eta usaia kanpokaldean. Urrengoak mendiko loreak dira, non igande grisetan oraindik politagoak dirudite

Las primeras son de las plantas de mi ventana, aromáticas fuera, un poco de color dentro y un aloe vera que sobrevive a duras penas. El resto, de un paseo por el campo donde el gris del día pierde su color...

My mum has made me some winter socks...I am delighted with them. And with my new sandals. 

Amak galtzetinak egin dizkit negurako. Eta udarako...sandalia berriak.

Mi madre me ha hecho unos cuantos calcetines para invierno...con la excusa de que no se le olvidara cómo se tejen. Y yo me he comprado sandalias nuevas para verano...

Washi tape experiments. I fell too.

And I received a little purse from Kristina. She made beautiful bags, purses in lovely and vivid colours. I recomend you to take a look in her blog and shop. Sure you find something beautiful to buy for yourselves.

How is going your sunday?

Hope a great week...mine will be strange.

Corner view: Imagine

Imagine, how simple and beautiful a flower can be. How easy is to find beauty in a rose.

Imagine, life being so easy and simple.

Pentsa nolako edertasuna dagoen hain gauza erraz eta simple batean. Nolako erreza den edertasun hori larrosa batean topatzea. 

Pentsa bizitza halako erreza eta simplea balitz.

Imagina que sencilla y preciosa puede ser una flor. Qué fácil encontramos la belleza en una rosa.

Imagina una vida sencilla y fácil.

Imagine. Life as a huge horizon. 

Irudikatu bizitza zeozer izugarria bezala.

Imagina la vida como un horizonte enorme por descubrir.

Today life has another sence to me. A close-friend has told as she has leukemia. How can I imagine today something? When reallity is so real.

Baina gaur bizitzak beste sentzu bat hartu dut. Laguna batek leuzemia duela esan digu. Nola imagina dezaket  gaur nik ezer? Errealitate soilak....

Pero la vida me ha mostrado hoy otra cara. Una amiga nos ha contado que tiene leucemia. ¿ Cómo puedo hoy imaginar algo? Cuando la realidad resulta tan...abrumadora.

Corner view:on the ground

1.- Love the colour of the ground in La Rioja, land of wine. It has a special colour.So red, so pure to transmit to the wine.

Errioxako lurraren kolorea maite diat.Gorrixka, ardoak duen kolorearen aita.

Me encanta el color de la tierra de La Rioja. Es como si de alguna forma transmitiera esa intensidad al vino

2.- Snow. Always need to go to walk on snow. 

Elurra. Beti irten behar naiz elurra zapaltzera.

Siempre tengo que salir a pisar nieve. 

3.- I love to visit sea ports when ships are near ground. To see the details, to smell the sea so deep.

Maite diat portuak itxasontziz beterik daudenean, hain daude hurbil detaileak eta itxasoaren usaia.

Me encantan los puertos cuando los barcos están amarrados a tierra. Los detalles del mar y su olor están tan cerca.

4.5.- What ground brings us.

Lurrak ematen dizkiguna

Lo que nos brinda la tierra 

Mother

I have been taking some photos to a friend. Mother soon. First photos with people. It was no easy to make her smile, was nervous and me too. Not used to people. Not so direct.

As I lost my corner...here a little mother detail.

Lagun bati argazkiak ateratzen egon nintzen. Ama izango da laister. Pertsonekin lehen esperientziak. Ez zen erreza izan barre erastea, urduri zegoen eta ni be. Ez nago pertsonetara ohitua. Ez hain zuzen...ez nagusiak behintzat.

Corner-ra galdu nuenez, hemen dihoa nire ama detaile txikia.

Mis primeras fotos con gente. Ensayando con una amiga que será pronto madre. No fue fácil hacerla sonreir, estaba nerviosa, y yo también. No estoy acostumbrada a las personas, no a las mayores.

Como me perdí mi corner, ahí va un pequeño detaile maternal.

Now I have to "improve the photos", any tips. I am not photoshop girl, I use photoscape....another ones?

Benasque. Pyrinees

Rain. Euria. Lluvia

Snow. Edurra. Nieve

Stones. Harria. Piedra.

And a bit of sun for the last day. From Benasque (Huesca).

Corner view: Room with a view.
Always reminds me Venice.
I only has been there once. It was in my twenties in a hot summer day. Streets were full of people and we decided to look for the church that appears in Indiana Jones´ film. That one after the scene with rats. Hmmm. We got lost twice, or more...so we decided to abandom and just discover the other, no so crowed, Venice. I think it was one of the best ways to discover the city. I came across a little shop with leather masks. I paid a fortune for one that reminds me the idea of discovering, more than travelling.

Venetzia dakarkit gogora. Nola pasa izan genun egun bat orain hainbeste denbora, udarako egun bero bat. Hiria jendez gainezka zegoen eta ia ezin zinen ibili. Indiana Jonesen filman agertzen den elizaren bila ibiltzea otu zitzaion taldeko bati. Orduak eman genituen galduak...baina benetan ikusi izan genun amaitzen ziren kaleen Venetzia, plaza txikien hiria eta beste mundu bateko artisau tailerren mundua. Hor konturatu nintzen batzutan deskubritzea, bidaiatzea baino garrantzitzuagoa dela.

Siempre me viene Venecia a la cabeza. Cómo pasé un caluroso día de agosto perdida entre las hordas de turistas que abarrotaban la ciudad. A uno del grupo se le ocurrió que quería buscar la iglesia que aparece en Indiana Jones, aquella plaza a la que salen después de la escena con millones de ratas...así que terminamos pasando horas perdidos entre calles sin salida, callejones infinitos y estrechos, ropa colgada, plazas pequeñas que escondían talleres maravillosos de papeles, plumas y máscaras de cuero. Tal vez allí me dí cuenta del valor de descubrir, por encima del de viajar.

Sorry no photos yet

5 random facts about me

I was asked to talk or write about 5 random facts about me. Really it is not an easy work just because lately I find no much words or no much to say and in the other hands there is so much I could talk about to take just 5 things.

1.- Last week it was my birthday. 37. Too many for a lot of things. It is as if I feel tired and old lately. As if my time for so many things has passed and I need to find in which part of everything I find myself. I had a good day, but it was not enough to bring grey clouds away.

2.- As I am growing old I feel more confortable in open spaces, in little villages, in details. More than in big cities full of people. I prefer little pub concerts, friend lunches, outside activities...and if I could, I would like to move a bit out of city, to a little village.

3.- On friday I had lunch with old work friends...and maybe I must admite that the decision of changing....maybe it was not. In one had it was something I must make, but as time passes the new work is becoming more and more frustrating and that always make you look back. I am trying to change...always trying to find. Maybe that is me. Trying to find, looking for, experimenting...

4.- It is time since I don´t listen to music. I cannot find the moment. It is as if I stopped some years ago and now I can find my place. So the little I listen, are old records.

5.- My camera and me are not very good friends in the past weeks. No photos. No good photos. It is as if the last grey, rainy weeks have taken all colours away and I feel enable to catch the greys and the beauty of white and blacks. I promised a friend that is pregnant to make her some photos...but really not feel good about it. Any tips about it? To recover my friendship with the camera....

I could stay more writting, but I was asked just to write 5 and I think it is enough for a monday morning. Just to say thanks, for those who thing about me in this kind of confidenses and to those how read me.
Enjoy the week.
