climbing the air

'climbing the air', is the title of one of my eaglepaintings.
Don't know but feels good to slip this one in.

Trying to get higher???

Eagles don't climb ladders,
don't make effort, nor strain to get higher,
they just let go...

and fly!

Narnia

It looks as if we arrived in the land of Narnia, arriving at the lamppole, and the season of the year has changed gear into cold and snow.
(This I mean literal & symbolicly)

C.S.Lewis: Chronicles of Narnia, (The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe)

snow

I guess the Wren/Winterkoning, ( see two days before yesterdays-post) was announcing coming winter! He was tettering and tickering very loud at that time and only I didn't understand what he was trying to say...
Now I see!
Tonight out of the dark, the world changed into white! it snows!!!
I love the gentle fresh snowdrops coming down, layering everything in whites.

Such a wonderful change suddenly...enchanting...!

dark and raining

dark and raining & light... making beautiful drops against the window...

saffron

Recently a found a book about the history colours written by Victoria Finlay. Its really a 'travel through the paintbox', as is the original title of the book. She explains in fascinating way the history of colours.
Then about month ago I found in a greenhouse the bulbs of the crocus (crocus sativus) where the original saffron comes from.. I immediately bought the bulbs and planted them..(rembering her story about saffron.)These crocus are different from the springcrocus. These crocus blossoms in autumn & only one day/morning!. The colour saffron comes from the 3 pistils of the flower, which gives the awesome colour of goldenyellows. Very costly because of the intense work to collect them, the short period of blossoming and very fragile flower.

I tried it, collected the s little red 'threads'...mixed them with water and Arabic gum..and there's the colour!

wren king

Here is the wren when he is dressed as king. but mostly he is under cover...so nobody knows.

wren

The wren is the King of the winter...that's why we call them in Holland 'Winterkoning'

drops

Its kind of drizzling and raining today, but some plants don't mind and still spread their beauty around... maybe even nicer because of the beautiful teardrops hanging on them.

rose-hips

This morning , while looking outside of my window, I saw a branch moving and shaking, while there was no wind elsewhere. So I looked a little closer, first didn't see any reason why the branch was so disturbed.
Inspecting closer, I saw a blackbird pulling and tugging, trying to get one of these, which made the branches shake so severely.
The rose-hips of the may-tree...sitting to tight on the branches but...ready for a meal.

rose-hip

rose-hip reds .......

hibernation

Could not resist, to find another red in my garden...He was in hibernation cause it didnot move. I put him back between the leaves, so he could continue his deep sleep.

more reds

Looked for some more reds in my garden, & found the lovely berries of the lily of the valley.
One half eaten, who would eat them? Would it be one of Leopolds happy meals?

red

Another beautiful red...even with the raindrops on it, and raining all day it has beauty.

amazing red

Again an amazing red in my garden...
he's awesome big... never had such a big one here. !

getting dark

After he had put the tentpins into the ground, it started getting dark.
He put on some light as well, so it would be a nice house. and the stamp he used as a
doormat.

Leopold was very happy!

a card-tent-house

After reading the house-manual, Leopold started following the instructions.
It was not so difficult, only a matter of pins hammering in the ground, fixing the corners of the card..which was meant to be a tent, a-card-tent-house!

firework

firework in the water....!
