random whites.

I find whites lately in so many forms and shapes.
In white caring hands, white beautiful soft fur, whiteness of nature unfolding. White is somehow gaining a meaning,
not just being a lifeless colour anymore. White cleanes my head, lets me think and start fresh.
I hope white can be like this for you too.

magic moments.

Do you know those magic moments, when the light hits your subject just right or you have this one wonderful idea you have to try?! I love those moments. They let me fall in love with an image immideatly, being my favourite from every session. That one sparkling moment where you have just been at the right time at the right place. Or buying a painting brush that fits just right for the purpose you need it.
The following images resemble for me inspiration, getting to know the unexpected in the most significant ways.

Sun.

Summer. Blue water. 

Ocean waves crashing to the shore. 

Relaxing at the beach. 

In a hammock with a fruity drink in my hand. 

Book in the other. 

That's what I wish for summer.

morning loves.

The time of year where I can enjoy fresh fruits again, where sunshine warms my face on a free day
are coming pretty soon. Today I share with you the images I love this morning.
What makes me smile and lets me await every bloom and fresh fruit on my plate with a big smile on my face.

What lets you smile today?

take a chance

Be who you are. 

Do what you love.

Spread your wings and fly today.

Stand out.

Be confident in what you have to share with the world.

 You only have this one life.

Express yourself in your own unique way, no matter what others say.

Will you join me on the topic of self expression over at the i-Studio pool on flickr today?

I'd love to see how you express yourself.

Friendship

Friendship is one essential thing I might say. It is important to have someone to bring a cup while you make tea, to pat you on the back when you feel sad. Someone who walks all the way behind you, even when you say you want to be left alone. A friend is always there.
A connection is more than a physical togetherness. It might be companionship, affection or awe for each other. It might be laughter, a hobby or just a sense of being that connects and forms your friendship.
I'd love to spread the awareness of how important friendships are today. Reflect on the connections you have and how you valued them lately. I know I haven't valued the people enough which I care most about. Every day this week I made some of my friends feel special. I have treated them to shopping trips and have been treated to a night out at the bar in return. These activities brought us closer.
The feeling of being together, of sharing a passion is one important thing for me. The feeling of being valued for the person I am.

Spring - So Inspired

Culture.

 
Every culture has it's own style. In every street you'll find people
who are kind of characteristic to the area you are currently standing in.
Some call it cliche. I call it street art.
There is art on you street too. Go out and find it.

I'd love to see your street art.
Until next time!

The power of love

Love. It is obvious. Everyone loves in it's own single perfect way.

To love is a gift and a blessing. Recieving love is awesome and makes my heart skip a beat.

I love to see young love, baby loves, old love, wild love and tender love.

I like to believe that love is everywhere I look out there in this world and I hope today you will join me to find love. 

In your everyday life.

Feminine Flickr Inspiration

“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.”
~Gwyneth Paltrow

 

1. 81/365, 2. twelve : twenty four, 3. You burn so bright, 'till you illuminate, 4. [ 4 3 / 3 6 5 ] Faded dreams, 5. 189/365, 6. Bloom in Winter, 7. butterfly remembrance (11/52), 8. butterfly kimono, 9. 14/52 Bench Monday {Vintage Suitcases Make Really Good Benches Edition}, 10. Untitled, 11. .familiar places, 12. Untitled, 13. Untitled, 14. woke up and my head was full of fog, 15. jocelyn, 16. Fish tail

Feminine means per defininition is described as "having qualities traditionally ascribed to women, as sensitivity or gentleness." 
I have never been very feminine. I am not always putting heels on or wearing great clothes. 
But I consider myself in a way feminine every woman is. Femininity is the way you are saying certain words, the way you tuck your hair behind your ear, the way you smile and the way you act.
Femininity can be reduced to certain body parts. They all appear delicate in their very own way.
It is all about expression and body language.
Even mothers are still feminine. 
Yes, I mean you too with your pj's on sitting in your work area, craving for creative input. You too with spit up on your t-shirt. You may not appear feminine to ordiniary people. Everyone is feminine to the people they love and care for.
Discouver your own beauty today!

Suki

Every image tells a story. These made me stop and think about what stories these people like to tell.
What stunned you lately?
What made your heart beat a little faster and inspired you to create ?
I'd love to hear.


I hope you enjoyed the flickr fabulousness today!

Love,
Suki
