forest and lakes (III)

villa la angostura . day three

we put on our walking shoes
and went out to quetrihué
where we saw everything from way up high

later we explore a nearby shore
with mossy rocks and skinny trees

we ate dinner by the fire
listening to fleet foxes
the rain fell, the logs crackled
and everything was alright

i've been neglecting this blog a lot lately. flickr too. and grocery shopping.
yesterday was the first time i cooked a proper meal in a long, long time.
january left me totally burned out and i feel like i'm a bit, well, off.
it's likely that the summer heat didn't help.

these past few days have been colder and suddenly i want to cook and snap pictures
and read and embroidery and all the things i like to do. i think i'm definitely a winter girl.


oh, and thank you for all the lovely comments
i've read them all and appreciate every single one :)


have a wonderful weekend

forest and lakes (II)

villa la angostura, neuquén . day two

we went for a walk to a small lagoon
and then took the ferry and went back here

arrayanes is one of my favourite spots from this region
i visit everytime i go and i can never get tired of,
there's something magical about those trees.


i was so happy to see it fully recovered from last year's volcano eruption

everything was golden and green and ever so beautiful

forests and lakes

"sometimes i wish i could find my rosemary hill 
i'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and i'd sing"

villa la angostura, neuquén . day one

we went for a walk and made new friends
saw one of the shortest rivers in the world
picked flowers & played with rocks and twigs

in the afternoon we went uphill to visit a waterfall,
got lost in the woods and never found it
and saw pretty fungi, tall trees & birds instead

berries

"no need for bowl or silver spoon,
sugar or spice or cream,
has the wild berry plucked in june
beside the trickling stream.
emily dickinson


november, 2012.
a few weeks ago, mel. and i went to a park nearby,
gathered wild mulberries & strolled under the trees.
we felt just like kids again, remembering summers past
made of adventures, berries, starry nights and fireflies.
