Passion flower

 This morning, while looking around and watering some plants, I noticed that the bud in the passionflower was intending to open up!

I had gotten this plant, from a dear friend of mine, for my birthday a few months ago. 

Over the weeks I noticed one small bud and then later the bud becoming bigger. 
So I wanted to keep an eye on it. 
This morning I noticed, it wanted to open!

And when I looked half an hour later, it had opened more!

I decided to stay for a while near the flower, to see it's progression, opening up. 

It's fantastic to see that happening within an hour.

IWINGS 20 Years!

IWINGS is flying 20 years on the World Wide Web!

This week I remembered, wanted to make a post, forgot it again as the days fly by so quickly.

Today I received a snail-mail card of one of my best friends, who sent me a celebration-card! 
Thank you F!

I still remember the IWINGS-First-Flight as yesterday. 
Blogging was new, and having an illustrated blog back then...I had not seen them in that time very much. 
At that time there were only written blogs. It was really a challenge. 

I think it was actually August 6th 2005 that I took my first flying-lesson. 

Here is a link to that post
