Travel Theme: Smoke and Mirrors

I´m back (again)! It´s been a long time! I went on holidays, came back, tried to change my job unsuccessfully and started my own tiny business. And the excuse to post is this week´s travel theme!

Colombia, here I go!

Yes! I´m going on holidays to Colombia! Ussually when I travel I keep a blog in spanish (my mother tongue), as it´s much faster and easier for me to write. I write stories, travel information, prices and lots of pictures! This time I´ll try to keep you updated too, I can´t promise I´ll write a lot about the trip, but at least be sure I´ll post lots of photos! For those who can speak spanish here´s the link:

Weekly Photo Challenge: My 2012 in Pictures

Well, as usual, lots of things happened this year, we finally settled down in our new home, after almost two years of roaming. I learnt to cook new recipes. I also learnt that I can be a kindergarten teacher if necessary. I did a lot of crafts for the house. I grew my own lettuce. The winter, after there months of ice, fortunately ended! and the warm wind of the summer is blowing.

I tried doing bokeh!

I love the sun in the house during winter mornings…

My cooking…

The results…

My lettuce!

The winter…

and summer!

This is a tricky one, I´m thankful of almost everything in my life! so I should post a thousand photos, don´t worry… I won´t.

I´m thankful about:

• My health and my beloved ones helth as well (everybody is ok!)
• I´m in love with him (and so is he with me!)
• My freedom
• My travels
• My friends
• My house
• My job
• My finances

Maybe there´s more, but I don´t want to bore you. So here are the pics:

Go wherever I want…

Shadows

As a kindergarten teacher I get really good shots of my kids which I can´t show here. Fortunately, last week´s good weather allowed me to get this shot, which I think I can show here.
