montevideo (IV)

“put your soul in the palm of my hand for me to look at, like a crystal jewel. i'll sketch it in words.”

― yasunari kawabata

parque rodó, montevideo. uruguay

take me back to simpler, greener days
of wandering in parks and befriending ducks;
of pressing yellow leaves in books
and falling half asleep under a bright, cold sky.

montevideo (III)

parque rodó, montevideo. uruguay

two months after our short trip to uruguay
i finally had the time to have the photos developed,
and i got to wander again through the green gardens
and pretty art déco houses of parque rodó.

first days of autumn

"autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
― albert camus

march, 2015.

as you may probably noticed, i've cheated and these are digital.
actually, they're ipod-vscocam-digital, so sorry about that :3
i'm still in the middle of a work storm
but autumn arrived and i just had to get out and capture it
if only in digital form on a super quick stroll around my neighbourhood.
because it is, after all, my favourite of all seasons.

there's something about autumn light i love so much
and all those different shades of green-yellow-gold
and the sound the leaves make when you walk
and, even when days get slowly colder, the general warmness of it all.
it's like the world becomes tinted with cinnamon and honey
and it even smells like it.

hope you're all having a wonderful day
and a happy start of the spring to all my darling northern hemisphere girls
i know you've all been eagerly waiting for the flowers to be in bloom once again

who knows where the time goes

"and i am not alone while my love is near me
i know it will be so until it's time to go
so come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
i have no fear of time”

march, 1999.

around this time of the year, some 16 years ago,
when i was not even fifteen and film was still the norm,
and when plastic cameras were not in vogue,
i went away for a few days with a dear school friend
to a little, almost forgotten village
with this cheap and beautifully red rangefinder
and snap some photographs.

a lot of time has passed since
and while i've definitely changed a lot
i've also stayed pretty much the same,
always taking pictures of trees, landscapes and nature.

(boy, i do feel a little old now)

vamos hacia los árboles

vamos hacia los árboles... el sueño
se hará en nosotros por virtud celeste.
vamos hacia los árboles; la noche
nos será blanda, la tristeza leve.

vamos hacia los árboles, el alma
adormecida de perfume agreste.
pero calla, no hables, sé piadoso;
no despiertes los pájaros que duermen.

― alfonsina storni

(a very poor and horrid translation can be found here
vamos can be translated as we go, but i liked let's go better)

have a wonderful start of the week

“a garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask?

a few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.”

april, 2014.
on a rainy autumn day,
i went to gram's for lunch.

after lunch we put on our scarves
and visited my favourite garden ever.
we gazed at the flowers, spotted a few tiny kittens
and frolicked about, taking pictures & talking endlessly.
when it started raining we headed to the cinema
and watched a lovely film called el sur

a calm, perfect autumn day

march, 2014.
meet neo, my newest and youngest little brother
don't be fooled by his sweet face,
he's a little devil in disguise ♥

on one of his first outings in the garden
he played with every flower and leaf
and climbed the hibiscus as high as he could ♥

isn't he incredibly adorable?

hope you have a lovely week

♥

(ps. blogger seems to be altering the colour of my photos lately,
the first one actually looks something more like this)
