Poland, August 2013


It was a kind of sentimental journey for me. Time of return and re-discovery; a chance to understand what's really important in life. Almost one month has gone since we came back to Scotland but my heart is still full with the intensity of those summer days.

And now we're here, in between, getting ready for a new adventure.

From the fields (or: from my childhood)

One of those days spent in Poland we went to the fields to buy some strawberries, freshly picked up in the early morning. They were the last in season and once we get to the place, I could feel their sweet smell filling up the air. Although it was very hot, I didn't feel like going stright back home. I spontaneously decided to have a walk and I let myself run into the fields, surrounding the suburbian area where my parents live. The fields where we played and rode bicycles when we were children. So many memories came back to me.

Summer days...





summer days
so full of colors and flavours
the sweetest taste of strawberries
and smell of freshly mown grass
and cheerful moments with the little ones
in the vast garden that is like an island of bliss
and the hours slowly passing by
under perfectly blue sky

images and tastes and little moments: they fulfill
my heart and my memory
they bring me peace

the older I grow
the more I feel my own roots

Postcards from Poland: Garden












Here are some images of my parents' garden. I love this big green space full of trees, flowers and some veggies too. This quiet space and perfect greenery is probably the thing that I miss the most, living in a big city. I dream that one day we have similar garden where we can rest, sit in the shade of an old plum tree and read, let our children walk barefeet on the grass... Until then, these photos must do. And there are more coming soon :)

Postcards from Poland: Landscapes














It wasn't easy to chose landscapes photos from Poland. I took so many pictures there and I'm still trying to organize them according to their subject. I hope you like this selection; usually I work on my photos and play a little with Picnik but I decided not to touch landscapes photos to show the real colors and beauty of the places we saw. These are the places where I grew up and they are very close to my heart. I will always miss the space and greenery that surrounded me there but I also know that I will never return for good. Those two weeks in Poland were some kind of a sentimental journey for me; it also was a good time to think some things through.

Some more (and more) photos are still coming :)
