The most beautiful place on earth (Spain).

I just remebed the moment when I woke up to the beautiful blue sky. I was astonished to find that the sky would always look gorgous in the early mornings of Spain. I have always been inspired by watching sunsets go down and come out. And where I stayed in Calpe, the sunset was always there. How I wish I was back in Spain. How I long to be there everyday. How I wish to stay there forever. A country of peace, beauty and love. Perfect Spain is and will always be the heart of my holidays.

                    This is what I woke up to.

The view is breathtakingly beautiful.

Hide & Seek, whispers and tale telling

Me & my beautiful niece Tiffani played hide and seek today. The game came to a new level where she decided to hide under her pink cute hat, as you can see above in the picture. It saved me time from actually walking around and looking for her. She would often whisper something in my ear and then I would have to whisper something back. I also enjoyed listening to her stories, which she would make up, but most of them would be thisame as my stories and she would just change the characters in them. So my heart sang as we both skipped around the garden holding hands. We had a wonderful time and I bet she is at home still smiling as much as I am.

I never loved you. Sorry, so sorry.

How do I say goodbye to you

When we never really said hello
Is it any easier to walk away from the seeds of a friendship
Never given time to root and grow?
(Grow into what – a bigger friendship? I don’t know.)
And how is it possible to miss someone
I hardly ever see?
How can I know if you were my hero,
When you rode into the sunset
Long before the you left.
How can there be a formal end to something
Which had no real beginning?
I can only thank you for the rainbows you brought to my storms;
For the silver lining you stitched in my clouds.
It was refreshing to find, someone protective over me
So, thank you for the laughs we had
And for the few parties you took me to.
But I was never in love with you, even thou you were madly with me.

My dear friend Sheye Rosemeyer was a great help and gave me an idea of which photo processing she prefers. This is partly what she wrote:

This is a lovely portrait of such a beautiful girl, I can see why you love it. I do love her quiet, serious expression. I really like your processing, you did a great job but think I prefer the original - only because the dark red might look a bit un-natural on a young child and it will come out stronger in print. I wondered how it might look in black and white too so did a quick conversion. My pic would be the original or a black and white I think? ( I also added a square crop just to remove a bit of the background if you like). Honestly though, any of these would be lovely - go with whatever grabs your eye first :) Keep up the great work!

I am amazed by how smooth the photo actually looks. Thank you Sheye for showing me new possibilities.

One photo, one shot and beautiful is what it became.

I remember on christmas day the first thing I did is took my camera and just aimed it at my cousin. She caught me in the moment and looked at me so sweetly. This one shot of her turned out to be something really beautiful. Everytime I look at the picture it reminds me of how thankful I am to have a cousin like her. There is no other who could fill her shoes.

I am still amazed that I actually took this photo with my Cannon 450d.

Every little girl can be a princess for a day.

Every little girl dreams of being a princess.

And, it’s amazing how similar such dreams

are, no matter who the child is or where she

lives. The princess dream always includes Prince

Charming, beautiful fairies, a palace of

enchantment, and otherworldly magic. My niece Tiffani adores being a princess. Once I remember her talking in her sleep and she literally said ''I am a beautiful princess'' What a wonderful blessing

it would be to relive that

dream, to regain the

sparkle of happiness, to

believe again that

you are a lovely

princess, even if

it’s just for a while. A child should be able to dream, because dreams are beautiful and not harmless.

So I hearby give you Princess Tiffani. My annoying, but loving sweetheart.

My precious niece to the rescue.

My niece Tiffani is the most important things in the world to me! And I just thought I should let everyone know why my 6 year old niece is so special. She has an incredible heart. Her beautiful face and kind words always cheer me up when I am feeling sad or if I am ill. Today I was feeling very sick! I could harldy get out of bed. My niece comes to me and brightens my day. I love her so much. She just touches my heart every single time. I try to hug her for a long time and breath her in. She does not mind at all, she always hugs me back saying ''I love you more'' =]

Through my illness I managed to take this beautiful picture.
