A view from the garden today...

This Forest has a Soul.
It breathes.
And it keeps secrets.
A hidden world within.

Golden ribbons
light the sky
of my soul.

My heart
returns
to warmly beat.

Thank you!

The sunset yesterday, in Amchit...

An incredible sight!

New beginnings...

A Princess is in pain and distress
and she deserves much more
from those who claim to love her.

Your face
endlessly reflect
on the ocean
of my heart.

You're everywhere I look,
Everything makes me think of you.

Do you... feel the same about me?

Eleven years ago, we met.

Our encounter was the most extraordinary, the most unexpected and at the same time the most expected thing in the entire world.

White bougainvillea... another of my favorites.

I've always loved white flowers, for some reason...

Muscari (grape hyacinth) from the garden. There are many surprising flowers during the fall, when you allow nature to freely express herself.

The sky mirrors
the beauty and the fairness
you always hid
within you.

Smile
and the world will also smile.
Speak
and your dreams shall turn true.

Orange moon crescent over the sea, in Amchit, two days ago.

The ways toward light
and understanding
are infinite,
and the darkest night
is followed by
the most luminous dawn.

Breathe,
the horizon
of your dreams,
is there,
far away,
yet
within hand reach.

The view from Amchit this evening, with the first crescent of moon! I love the sight of the hilly fields of olive trees, or oak trees, with the sea behind...

Thank you!

Mauve bougainvillea. This is one of my personal favorites. It is a slip that I planted, a long time ago, that turned into a vine. It worked only once, and this is the only mauve bougainvillea I know of.

Thank you! Same to you!!

Beautiful autumn view... I live in Amchit, Mount Lebanon... It's a village on hills close to the sea...

Beautiful ! We also have some trees that are changing colors, but most of the trees here, in the garden, are evergreen, or kind of. Where do you live?

Thank you for your words and your genuine interest. In fact, the salt wind burns their leaves! So the bougainvillea receive even more sun, making a lot of flowers in seasons during which the sea is more quiet!

One of my favorite views. Those bougainvillea have more flowers than leaves, because of the wind, and the sea spray that is quite salty!

The secret little inhabitants of the garden!

I built a whole aquatic ecosystem with watercress, waterlilies, taro, mint, etc...

Sometimes the sky
seems to be playing a melody
whispering
that Life is much vaster
than we believe.

An incredibly beautiful sunset (I took this picture yesterday), from Amchit, my hometown.

Self-portrait in my kingdom of wilderness!

I have a strong bond with this land. I know each of its plants, each of its rocks...

Only she is missing!

My wild asparagus plants have started to flower!
They're wild, but they produce a thin and delicious asparagus. I protect them whenever I spot a small plant, as the more they age, the stronger they become!

My left ear gets warm
hearing your silent words
whispered in the distance.

My physical body knows
things I do not see
and I still haven't understood.

When will you speak
and fill my soul
with the melody of your voice?
