Black & White

I recently came across this picture (on the internet) which left me speechless! Photographer Marcin Ryczek snapped this once in a lifetime image of a man feeding swans on a snowy river bank of Poland. What's beautiful about this picture is the juxtaposition of black/white, snow/water, man/animals. I absolutely love this photo and the fact it's not photoshopped is so very inspiring.

Pretty Lilies

So one day my husband walks in home with a bunch of Lilies. At first sight there were nothing impressive and most of the bulbs had not even bloomed. So i arranged them in a vase and set them aside on the counter. Two days went by and not much changed and i thought to myself "well what a waste of money...this is not even pretty..."

And then the miracle began, they started to open and as they bloomed i must admit they looked gorgeous. They were big and bright almost smiling at you and making you feel fresh and pure. The more i glanced at them the more i admired their beauty.

They adorned my house for more than a week spreading radiance and freshness all around.
