Misty mistery

When the mist covers the town, an eerie silence befalls. It gives another meaning to everything... I love those moments of pure inspiration... unless you think of that movie the fog or whatever, that gives me chills...

A haunted house? UFO come at last to carry me far far away? actually, just a special moment in time.

Also, I feel like eating an apple. A really Big Apple. Soon.

Peace.

White all over

So, the snow has arrived. Preceeded by quite a storm, a hurricane, whatever you wish to call it. I happened to be in midst of it on the streets of Zurich, totally wet in a matter of minutes... these are the times when you long for a warm and cosy home, and especially a pair of dry socks :). The storm brought lots of snow, and that's when the fun starts!

It pretty much covered everything... and there's this special silence when snow falls everywhere...

Yet aching for the sun

The mountains in the Hürental region are so beautiful.

all this beauty makes us jump (all right, I may have jumped a bit too early)

such a joy to play in the snow

It all comes to what you make of your time. I think that spending it with the people you love is priceless.

You know, simple pleasures are those that matter.

Peace.

Where else

It's too easy, right?:) More than 8 hours of driving in one day, but having seen the lake of Como (no, I haven't seen anyone famous) and the beauty of the surrounding mountains and lakes, I can safely say that the trip was worth it... I wish there were some pics that would show you just how beautiful that region is, but that was a work trip, and I couldn't really take pics...

this was a really quick photo. I intend to go there one day and truly enjoy it!

Some very interesting trips are coming soon, I'm working on them right now!

Peace.

Waiting for the snow

Yet if feels good not to be freezing these days... what's up there then?

all the wonders you can imagine...

winding on sinewy roads...

pure happiness, all the best my love!

And then... wow, can you believe it?! Look closely. I mean to share this with you.

Next, a few trips here, then another continent!!! Yeah, you know me...

Peace.

It is a wild world

Baby, baby... Thanks to my dear A., I've been singing this song for a few weeks now. Ahem. So, I'm back at work, seriously swimming in the business waters, and trust me my friends when I tell you that "the situation" is not looking good. Fight it, forget it or go with it? Whatever you choose, there's only one way really

Where do you want to go? Tell me, I'm curious.

I know where I want to go! Both geographically and otherwise... shhhhhhh, let me surprise you soon...

Also, I've found something reeeeeally precious! I'll show you as soon as my dear L. finds the time to help me do so.

Peace.

When you need some peace

There's always one place where you will certainly find it.



In the wildest and coldest places...

Embrace the mountain. Just how solid and strong it stands.

And blend in... hopefully :)

There are times for everything. When it feels overwhelming and way too much crazy, rest your heart.

Peace.

Warm glitter

Autumn sun warms my heart. Look at the trees, people! What a beautiful weekend in Valais, I could have stayed and stared at the forrest and mountains around until the snow comes... I will have to go back soon while the nature is (almost) at its best. Who's coming with me?

All things will turn golden

Dream a little dream.

We happen to be hunters, too.

The best photos were made by B., but I forgot them! I'll post them later... Many important things happened, birthdays were celebrated, cakes were tested, history was made, so that will have to be documented. And I'm getting better every day thanks to the awesome care of my dearest friends!

Peace.

Darwin got some things right

I made it! Still here, and more motivated than ever to make this life worthwile! The surgery was really hard, one of the most difficult things I have ever done, and the whole recovery process will probably take some time. Patience, anyone?:) So, I'm trying to prove that Darwin was right with the whole evolutionary theory... My walking style has improved from the australopithecus style to the homo erectus, and I should be reaching the homo sapiens soon. As soon as possible! Grrrrrrrrrrrr :)

I'm planning on celebrating my comeback very soon with every single one of you (ALL of you, the pic is random, but my friends never are!)

Peace.

The cheesiest movie moment

Right now, it's not easy. I'm trying to get through these times as best as I can, and it gets better with you all, my dear friends. Thank you for your presence over the past few weeks, especially the last few days, it has given me so much strength. Wherever I go,whatever happens, I see just how much you are here for me. I will always remember it. Your warm hearts will always hold me, as I hold you dear in my heart. I'm scared, who wouldn't be, yet I also know how to be confident, and I will always trust my star.

Make me smile!

Peace

Color me wild

When minds can run creatively all around the place, still in Barcelona.

interior of the Sagrada Familia. Let light play with curves...

and colours...

How it all looks peacefull at first...

Yet another one, the colors looking even crazier here!

Just enough to make me smile.

It can be as simple as that, a dash of fresh air in a symphony of colors and sounds. Happiness, it's all that matters, and even though it can sometimes be quite hard to find, it's always here with us. Just nock on your door. Or mine, I'm always ready to look for it!

This weekend, I'm going back to some of my roots!

Peace.

How much can you eat?

You've come to the right place, there's an abundancy of tapas... Oh, how I love tapas!

Yeah... This gave me lots of ideas, you know I'll try to do this at home!

Paradise.

Nice door...

Have you ever seen such a small calamar?! I haven't. I couldn't believe it, and neither could the waiters believe my supefaction. They kept on coming and telling me I was funny. Funny, me? :)

Enough with the food, make room for Gaudì. Inside of the Sagrada Familia. Simply impressive.

There are so many more pics! I'll post them very soon.

Peace.

Almost no limits

in this city that is truly awake and crazy all the time. I've seen many big cities, but rarely have I seen so much activity at any time of the day. Yes my dears, it was Barcelona! Bustling with heat and people, its essence is incessantly very much alive. It gives countless opportunities for discovering improbable little streets and passages, crowded with shops and some really good restaurants, true gems! This whole idea of having a complicated city structure gives rise to a real labyrinthe for me. Otherwise, how would you explain that I found myself in the middle of the "hot" neighbourhood just a few hours after my arrival? It felt a bit weird to be surrounded by the "working girls" and their "bosses" who look at you in a veeeeery direct way... all you can think of at that time is ruuuuuuuun! I almost did.

Having breakfast on this square was a real pleasure.

Old town buildings, most of them in the hands of the state for different ministries. They would make interesting houses...

This reminds me a little of Italy, and makes me want to go there too.

dark little streets, full of surprises...

View from the top

What else to say, it was so good...

Peace.

The team is whole again!

The outcasts are back! YAY! What better way to celebrate that than to combine a wilderness park, a crazy hike, and fun on a real playground. All that and more, because it was in my favorite town in this country. In Zurich, my dear friends, I always feel good. Especially when I'm back again with you three darlings, my people, my family! Yeah, even though B. tried to empty me of my last ounces of energy, and may I say life, with one of the wildest and fastes hikes I've even done :).

Even bears have fun! The wilderness park/zoo in Zurich is really great!

Zurich and the lake, just loving it!

Zug lake... beautiful

My dearest. You can also see the Glaris mountains behind. I want to go there next, who wants to come?

Do you want me to be your lucky charm? wow, I can't believe I found it!

Also, I scratched my elbows terribly while playing on this playground that's meant for children. Yeah. As if that would stop me :).

Next, I'll be going south!

Peace.

We love Switzerland ;)

At least I do!

You don't need to go far to have a great day. I haven't visited Lausanne for a loooong time, and this time was really special, as if I had re-discovered this city in a new way... Of course, it all comes down to good mood, good food and good company!

Which one?

This one!

It makes you want to walk on the roofs. Quite litteraly.

View from my siesta position. Loved it! It was quite necessary, we ate a LOT. Really. The whole day. ( I don't mind:) )

Mhmmmmmm. Do I need to say more?

In a way, this is a small tribute to Switzerland. A calm, relaxing and lovely day, just like Switzeland, right?:) Even though "some" (ahem) people think that our accent is weird, and that Pully should be pronounced differently. Seriously? :)

What really matters at the end of the day when you feel that tiredness coming over you is to simply know that you've had a lovely day. D., thank you! You're getting that t-shirt (on the 13th, I will remember)!

Peace.
