Begonia

Hi everybody! On Saturday I drove to the city of Gouda to buy some items from the renowned dolls houses & miniatures shop "Het Kabinet" ("The Cabinet").

Most of the miniatures I bought relate to a small room box project that I'm currently working on. However, regardless of the subject at hand, I never go back home without a little hand-made plant from Elly; a lady who offers her wonderful work for sale in one of the beautiful display cabinets in the shop.

This time I fell for an adorable pink begonia that was just begging to be bought! And here she is, in all her delicate splendor!

A cute little robin.

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well!

Here's a photo of a very small and cute porcelain robin that I took today.

It was love at first sight when I saw it in the miniatures shop, so I decided to 'adopt' it.

I made it a little diorama with wood and hand-made paper flowers, so I could take a few nice pics of it, and here's the result. The flowers are not made by me, by the way!

Below is a pic of the robin in the palm of my hand for scale. Have a great day!!

It's a hot Summer day, even for a pooch.

 Enjoy your Sunday, and keep yourself and your pets cool!!

Presence

An empty room. The golden hour, and the scent of stillness, mixed with the breath of the flowers in the garden, seeping in through the cracks in the ancient doors.

No one there, yet one can almost feel the presence of someone, or something, in the room. Voices and memories from the past cling tenaciously to the old walls and curtains. It's just another afternoon in the Centennial, that peculiar, silent majesty.
