I left this movement, but everything that was pure and beautiful
I kept to myself.

ReplyDeleteAs always, your posts are incredibly beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Have a nice Friday, my friend from beautiful Japan.
Tereza
J'aime venir ici, comme dans un jardin, un endroit magique et y découvrir chaque fois des sujets intéressants. J'aime particulièrement les iris, qu'ils soient sauvages ou cultivés, pour la forme de leur fleur, et pour leurs couleurs variées du pastel aux couleurs plus affirmées. Il paraissent solides et se chiffonnent sous la moindre pluie, devenant fleur de papier. Que le soleil revienne et ils retrouvent toute leur vigueur. Étonnantes fleurs que tu nous présente si bien ici, avec talent.
ReplyDeleteBelle journée à toi.

ReplyDeleteHi Ruma! Thank you so much. You really make my day so much happier! I'm so grateful . You really have amazing photos here. I hope that you continue follow my blog. Always be positive * kisses from Portugal, CatarinaO.
ReplyDeleteHi Ruma, it has been a long time since I blogged. I've seen all your beautiful photographs and today this amazing video. Thank you for sharing so much of the tradition of you country! Raining season is causing a lot of trouble; I heard on the news, mud flows are coming down from the hill/mountains. People are missing, homes had to be abandoned because of the rain and mud. I do hope you are not living in that area .... Hopefully it will stop raining or better yet has stopped already.
ReplyDeleteI wish you good health and fortune.
Hugs Yolanda
Happy summer to you :)
