Lisbon fountain / Fuente en Lisboa
After weeks of hard work, I managed to “escape” to this city, Lisbon, which I never visited before. Wonderful people, I must say! … and a very special feeling along its streets.
Grow / Crece
How does the growth look for its own growth? I guess, one of the main things, is to want it. To want to grow, and to want to go on, and to continue, … and to want to live.
Duality / Dualidad
It is said that nice things don’t need to be in shadows. Or that bad ones should be put there. Somehow, for good or bad, there isn’t any light without its shadow, and no shadow without its light. Reminds me of the Yin-Yang.
Life wrinkles / Arrugas de vida
Who said wrinkles aren’t nice? They mark which of our muscles we use most in our face. Remember anyone whose smiling wrinkles were very marked? I’m sure he caused in you a nice impression.
We are in Spring / Estamos en Primavera
21st of March! … as the official day when Spring enters. And for some, even it is New Year, being really a nice moment to celebrate it. To welcome the arrival of life.
Forest of shadows / Bosque de sombras
“You think you got everything when you got nothing at all
the only way you know where you are going,
you got to take a fall, you have got to lose it all” (Lionel Ritchie)
Loosing it all is even nice! … as only strong ties remain, so you know better the way to follow
20,000 thanks / 20,000 gracias
to you all, since it is 20,000 visits I’ve got to my photostream in Flickr. Thanks to you all. To who I don’t know (yet), to who I know, and to those who are quite close to me. Specially for the 20,000 smiles you gave me. Here is my hand for all of you.
Rediscover / Redescubre
In a life so full of computers, of internet and quick communications. In a life where people can even get stressed, … feel the fresh wind on your face, the warm cuddle of the sun on your skin, the trees greeting you with their smell, and …
… rediscover snow.
Scars or shields / Cicatrices o escudos
- “That which doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger” Friedrich Nietzsche -
Yet, even though there might be scars, the best shield is at the same time being yourself. There isn’t any better shield or cure for scars, than being well with ourselves.
Green silence / Silencio verde
♫ The Sound of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel)
So needed the silence is. So much for ourselves. When combined with nature I almost feel I can hear, … or even listen the nature: the sound of silence.
I love nature!
Dulcinea del Toboso
“Dulcinea del Toboso” is the woman with which Don Quijote was in love with. At least in a supposedly mad man’s mind. He always gave her the most noble traits of character and he would challenge anyone who wouldn’t say this woman is the best one in the world.
Sometimes, … madness is not such.
Lost or found / Perdido o encontrado
As this twig in this net, when are we found …, and not lost? I guess it depends on how we feel in relation to our life, and how we are following our soul.
Blue enigma / Enigma azul
If there’s something that attracts people are enigmas, and more concretely unknown things. Maybe this is a source of knowledge and advance …
By the way, does anyone know what’s this? Not too difficult, I guess.
Unconcluded tales / Cuentos inconclusos
Once upon a time there was a tale …, a tale about someone who decided to look for some photographs in internet. And while browsing, there appeared a concrete one, about a lamp and strange trees surrounding it. And while looking at it a smile appeared …

Home, sweet home / Hogar, dulce hogar
There’s always warmth in a home, as much as to always remember it. The way it looks, the smells, and so much more …! That gives part of our personal culture. I’m always amazed at birds, travelling so long, seeking for their known warmth.
Golden tree / Árbol dorado
Tolkien says, that in the beginning of Middle Earth, a golden tree gave light to all life, till it was poisoned. It isn’t so different from reality nowadays. Let’s make a difference.
Morning star
It is said that the morning star is the last twinkle to be seen up in the sky. Always nice to see when day comes. Other twinkles lay ahead like the first singing bird. But the best morning star is that nice smile being sent in the dawn.
White Hug / Blanco Abrazo
Winter is already going by, as Spring is already here. I found this tree, which suggested me a big big hug, as those like good friends give each other, when saying goodbye. As it is actually never a goodbye. There’s always the will to see each other again. And as such, there will always be a next time. As for winter. As for good friends.
Birth
Spring has already come to Madrid. Almond trees can be seen everywhere blossoming. Or giving birth to their flowers. As this is the season of colors, of renewal and of life. Good that it’s not only for the vegetal world.
Dreams of an ocean / Sueños de un océano
Green velvet leaves above the tips, the ocean dreams about,
To soothe the storm when feeling so alone,
To hide the truth under the colors,
Green, wishes of green, blue’s dreams are green covered honor.
