The scent of 'Lilac'

-

It's the time of year to wake up,

to open all the windows,

and let the warm Spring wind inside.

Let's get all the rooms

filled with the sweetest scents

and fall asleep again at daytime.

Every year

I love to rediscover Spring every year.

Every year the lilac looks more beautiful

and every year the delicate sun feels

more special.

Every year I go on a first bike ride

and feel this tender wind lifting up my hair for the first

time.

Every year it feels more

special to hear the birds sing when it's already

dark

and every year the air

smells after pink candy once again.

Sometimes I go on lonely walks with my camera and music

and just be in this moment. 

Just be.

''When you were born I remember the chestnuts blooming outside''

One week ago I turned 24!

Birthdays are always such a strange day for me. I never

know how to feel. I feel sad, nostalgic, happy

and like a granny in the body

of a young woman all at once on this one day.

This year we didn't do anything special

beside making a waffle breakfast for

a few dear people and going on the first walk without a jacket.

I also received some lovely birthday mail from my

friends far away. We took them with us

to the park where I read the letters on a fallen tree and

had some fun taking pictures there while the chestnut trees

were blooming above us.

Every year my mom tells me how she saw these tall

trees blooming trough her hospital window

when I was born. Spring always was and still

is the season that is most dear to me.

Easter under a cherry tree

I remember these trees from last summer

when I was walking to this little village very near of the town where we live.

I was not feeling so well and wanted to see something beautiful.

I was walking on a path trough the forest and then I saw tiny little red dots

far away hanging on the trees.

There were thousands and thousands of cherries in the brightest red tones!

I remember I was looking for a meadow with cherry trees all summer

and there they were. 

         When I was thinking about a place for an easter picnic this year

I had these cherry trees in mind and how beautiful they

must look in full bloom.

Packed with a blanket and little easter surprises for each other we drove to this place.

The sun started to come out behind the clouds, the wind was blowing

tenderly and we were hiding little chocolates and gifts while

the other one was wating under a jacket on the blanket. : )
