  2. Fun!! Next time you go, would you buy me that caviar & bananas bag? That's a riot. I also am crazy about the flowers - orange & purply-blue, what a spectacular color combo.

  3. Oh my.......how beautiful!!!!
    And how I wish I was somewhere with flowers in bloom!!!!
    That grocery makes me smile....I could do some very serious damage to the checking account there. I miss all the foods we had when my folks and I were stationed overseas....sigh!

    XXOO!!

  11. Aaaw Crud! I can only see half of the images but what I see is pure delight! YES! YES! Not only smile but probably shoot up your endorphins. They are things that make life beautiful and happy. I remember you once mentioned "I please myself so easily" Well! Me too! I am delighted with the smallest wonders. Once I spent an hour crouched on the deck watching the ants ferry pollens back and forth from the flower to their mound , then I saw a pile of dead ants like a cemetery. I was sprawled on the deck just watching in the middle of the day. The children wondered what I was doing or thought I was hurt at first and then my husband joined us. We just sat there watching but then it turned into a wrestling match between me and the kids.

    Anyway, I am rambling. I am deflating from an emotionally heavy art weekend with the babies and now I muct think clearly.

    I look forward to seeing the other images when I get home or maybe try again later.

    Silke you and Daniel look very happy, not just posed, your smiles are so genuine and you both look like grown up children, your smiles are so refreshing. May you remain in love with and crazy about each other forever.

  22. silke, i think you gallivant in the same way and the same places that i do. what fun. you and daniel look so gleeful together. what could be more fun than gallivanting with someone you adore and who is a kindred gallivanter?

    only yesterday did i realize that you live in savannah! when i left you a comment that that would be one of the places where i would want to start life over, if i had to, i didn't know you lived in savannah!!!

    so now i know why you are happy and how easily your creativity flows. your city is magnificent!

  23. Hallo Silke, ich bin wieder da! Hatte zeitlang keinen ISP, aber jetzt krabbel ich wieder weiter ;-)

    Very pretty photos. Savannah is a quaint little town, isn't it? (or is it a city?)

    Just wanted to say hello and tell you that I'm having a President's Day Giveaway on my blog in case you are interested in participating.

    Enjoy your day!
    Doris :-)

    I love the picture of the swamp.

  25. Oh my goodness! The first photo rocks! Oh that is a dangerous place. I may have spent a whole month's salary in there!

  26. the picture of the Kress bldg brings back memories. Some 70 years ago, when my mother would go shopping in Wichita, KS. the first thing she did was to take me to the basement flooor of the Kress' and let me buy a toy. that kept me entertained the wole day while she shopped.
