hello summer!

neither yellow has ever been my favorite color nor summer my favorite season, but this time i want to celebrate both making a journal to capture bits and pieces for the next three months

and talking about yellow, everything seems to be yellow around me lately, and although actually i´ve always thougth of yellow as a color for sad sentiments, recently i´ve found something brigth and energizing in it as well


...this blooming Hypericum perforatum (St. Johnswort) is saying hello to summer

...i´ve been reading this book again, after more than 15 years that i read it for the first time, and if yellow really means sadness, this book is the saddest i´ve ever read not only in the story but in the language it is written...it´s a beautiful book anyway. just a couple weekends ago i were in the village were the action took place in the book and it´s so perfectly described i could feel the story as if i´ve lived it!

...and i´ve been hiking again this weekend. besides the big amount of yellow flowers here and there, crops and plants are starting to turn yellowish everywhere so... yellow again!

finally i made this digi layout (although i´m not used to) with a neruda´s sonet that i found some days ago, with a free digital kit from 2Peas in a Bucket, more little touches of yellow

definetly my heart is looking like yellow, but i´m not sure which of the two sides is predominating...

happiness is...


lying on the grass after a long walk

under the shadow of an old romanesque hermitage tower

in a hot day

feeling the breeze on your face

not thinking of anything else

it is said that place had a kind of magic...

note to self:
btw, never ever underestimate the power of your mobile phone photocamera, sometimes it works better than your dSLR (and there is always photoshop that can fix the rest!)

supplies: patterned paper CosmoCricket, rub-ons LilyBee, felt butterflies Heidi Swapp, stickers October Afternoon
