Nature is my home, and sometimes I travel a long way to find it.

  1. A lovely landscape, and a lovely cloudscape. I’ve added the lake to my Polish itinerary. You are a skilled photograph-composer – the curve on the centre right (is it water or a track?), the glimpse of houses, the angle of the bushes, it all adds up to great balance.

    (I’ve emerged from comment-hibernation, more settled in the routine of my days. It’s been hard not to comment!)

    1. Glad you’re out of hibernation, Meg 🙂 We’ve missed you. I’ve seen this lake for myself and loved every second.

    2. If anything should break your comment fast, then it should be a post about Poland :). The curve on the right is track. Thank you, Meg, for brightening this Thursday morning.

    Have you recovered from your trip?

    Like

    1. Hello Sue :). Yes, I have recovered from my fall quickly 🙂 I’ve been extremely busy at work since my return and besides that I started my new (language learning) blog which is taking up a lot of my time 🙂 so much so that I still haven’t seen the photos from my holiday (just the ones from Bologna). With this sudden cold I will find time and be more present here. Can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your visit.

      1. Sorry to hear you have a cold Paula. I hope it passes soon. I’m interested to read more about your new blog and what prompted you to start it. Would you send me the link at your convenience?

        Like

        1. I will be ok Sue, thank you 🙂 You may know that I am translator and languages are my greatest passion (I speak a few). It dawned on me on my way back from Italy that I could make a language learning blog and see if anybody would commit to doing it, and to see the results in 150 days (it is every day work :D). There is a widget on the right side bar, but here http://anytongue.wordpress.com/ 🙂 One day I am planning to do languages which I don’t speak yet – I will be posting lessons like I do now, with the difference that I will be a student and a teacher all in one 🙂

          1. Paula I actually did not know about your interest in languages. Thank you for the link. My husband and I are hoping to learn more Spanish before our trip to Peru next June. Best of luck with the Portuguese teaching.

              1. Paula I would be interested to know what you think is the best way to learn conversational Spanish.

                Like

                1. It depends on what level of conversation. I think that Spanish is one of the easiest languages to pick up, particularly the accents of the South America. I don’t know what your current level is, but listening to the language, watching some programmes, news would be great help. Other option is to find some hispanic chatters and chat with them on skype 😀
