Being yourself is always a good idea, right?

Sparkle Blue!

Underwater on a sunny day...

It is so incredibly calm and peaceful under water - the resistance slows down my movements and gives me a free, floating slow motion feeling. I listen only to my even breath while fully taking in this amazing indescribable beauty.

So relaxing - I wish, i could be at the ocean right now...

You too? 

Sparkle Blue is collected by Bine from "was eigenes" and Jolijou.

Bookcrossing is a worldwide forum for book reading, book exchange and releasing books!

So - here is what happened.  

Helga from Holunderblütchen found this absolutely adorable little book called "Elfi und Schmalzmann auf Wanderschaft" while jogging in a park.

Someone had put it in a bag and hung it on a tree so it could be found. By Helga.

And after Helga enjoyed it she decided to sent the book on a "blogger-journey" and I was next! 

The small book is written in 1957 and tells about everyday life of a family that raises pets and rescues wild animals in their apartment!

Sounds - äh - a bit strange - but it really is a treasure with its black and white photographs and the glimpse into life short after war.

It brought many fond childhood memories back to me because my father raised a lot of animals too when my brother and I were young in the sixties and seventies.

As much as I would love to keep the book forever I will of course honor Helgas idea and send it to the next blogger: Holunder

Andrea lives in the south of Germany at beautiful Bodensee and loves animals and nature.

The book will be in good hands...

I'm a BIG Pinterestfan.

So many great pictures! For me it's almost becoming a replacement for those expensive home and lifestyle magazines.

I would love to put together these collages all the time if there wouldn't be the tedious search for the origin of a pic.

That's really elaborate and even if you have done that work it's still uncertain if it's o.k. to post without personally asking for permission, I guess. There are horrible story's out there about suing and fines...

So - I'm not really sure about how to do this best... What is your take and opinion on this topic?

I thought my love of grey is fairly new but I just saw that I had already a post about it last year.

There is a picture of our cat Blitzi and me in the post. He has been very sick this year with a mistreated infection. Pour yellow-eyed boy...but he's all better now. I'm really thankful for that.

Wishing you health and happiness,
