I enjoy watching the windmills. They look so surreal and calming. Sometimes when I am unable to sleep, I think about them rotating pensively, and I close my eyes to be taken many miles away in my car passing by the windmills, which generously blow me a kiss that ruffles my hair through the open… Continue reading Windmills

Thank you!
People have called me a cold person. I have many acquaintances but few friends. But the ones I make are the best people I have ever met. I am quite choosy and headstrong.

Au revoir 2020 (hoping we never meet again)
The darkness of winter awaits the spring. A lone bird waits to take flight at the opportune moment. I watch it with eager eyes from my bedroom window. 2020 has been quite an eventful year for not just me, but everyone. It is the year which will be spoken of often in times to come… Continue reading Au revoir 2020 (hoping we never meet again)
Teddy Bears and Truck Drivers

A Most Peculiar Nest
Hello everyone! For many days I have been observing crows building this wacky nest made of cloth hangers right in front of my balcony. It is such a delight to watch the crows making rounds to feed their little ones. Occasionally, I get to spot their pinkish- reddish throats. Crows may not be the prettiest… Continue reading A Most Peculiar Nest
