Outdoor Wednesday.

Susan the host  from A Southern daydreamer, http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ asked for outside and inside decoration photo's on our blogs.

I like to start with an outside photo which I took exactly one year ago. I know because it was our 50th weddinganniversary and tomorrow (Wednesday the 21st) it will be our 51th. There was a lot of snow in December last year . No snow this year, just rain and not so cold. I don't really mind.:)))

It says Happy Holidays and a prosperous 2012.


Now for the inside decorations I made a collage of some photo's I made in my home these last few days.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY.

PInk Saturday.

A few days ago we had friends for dinner and as a good Dutch custom they brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It says Christmas all over but it also has a beautiful pink flower in it. It is called suikerbossie. It is the national flower of South Africa.  I never saw it before. The white ones are amarylisses. I forgot the names of the red berris and the little dark red plant.

Beautiful isn't it?

Our world Tuesday.

The week before last we went to the beach in a little village called Noordwijk. The beach and the dunes are beautiful there and of course the North Sea  .I spent many a day there when I was young but mostly in the summer.
This day it was cold and windy but there was a  clear blue sky and  some sun so it was good for walking.  That's what we did.

Two days ago my friend and I had a High Tea in a lovely tearoom. It was delicious. All of it.
Here a little impression of the tearoom in and outside and what we were surprised with.
I must say that the little tarts on the big plate were fake but they looked so real. Unbelievable. They were handmade the lady said. and for sale.

Decide which ones to show so I made a collage.

This beautiful Delft blue vase, 
The Ducks on a little island,
The Darling kissing Dolls,
The Dunes ,
The Delicatessen shop,
That large Door
and the beautiful swimming Dogs.

Shadow Shot Sunday.

I have two shadow photo's from Spain when we were there in September. This first photo is of a little narrow street in a medieval village called Pals. Most streets in these old villages are very narrow so they give a lot of shadow in the summer.

                      Isn't this bougainville gorgeous? I love that color.
