Photo challenge - Pink/Home

Last week-end we went to Prague. What a beautiful city! Here are a few photos from Prague for the Nurture Photography challenge. The prompt was Pink/Home. I'll tell and show more about our week-end later.

Photo challenge - Ivory/Dream

I was late posting last week's prompt for the Nurture Photography challenge, which was Lilac/Flowers. I took a couple of photos with that prompt in mind, though, so I will post them here. Lilac flowers in our garden.

This week's prompt is Ivory/Dream. Here's my contribution. A photo taken of Carlotta and Sofia at the beach against the setting sun. The colour of the beach and the sky became ivory and also a bit dreamish.

Week 18 - The beach season has started

We went to Armando's cousin's son's confirmation on the 1th of May. These celebrations are a good opportunity to meet his relatives who live at the opposite side of Rome. It's like living in another city considering the traffic here in Rome, so we really don't meet often. - This year we don't get any apricots, but we are going to get lots of "nespole". It's a fruit that I never have seen in Finland and I don't know what it's called in other languages than Italian. They are yellow, look a bit like prunes and are very succulent. Soon they will get ready! - Carlotta had her riding lesson and was happy as she trotted on her own with the nice pony Morositas. Carlotta thinks he is a bit too lazy, though. - On Saturday when all the home work was done we went to the beach and Carlotta and Sofia had their first swim in the sea and bought their first "grattachecca" which is crushed ice with syrup that you get in different tastes. - I tried to be creative and started to do a necklace, but in the end I only made a pair of ear rings. They are fastly made. Waiting for more inspiration to do some other summer jewellery. - -We picked our first "nespole" from our tree on on the week-end.  

Week 17 - The barbeque season has started

Week 17 - Tuesday after school Sofia had lunch with her class mates at Mc Donald's. I went there with Carlotta and Daniele to have and ice cream and pick her up. On Thursday we invited our friends for a barbeque in the garden as it was a national holiday here - Italian's liberation day. It was really nice to see everyone after lots of time and of course the meat, wine and the cakes we ate were delicious! It was a beautiful day and we sat in the garden with our wine glasses until it got dark. The warm days are here and Carlotta enjoys watering the flowers, the grass and herself. On Satuday and Sunday me and Sofia had show jumping competions. My first day went well and we got fourth prize.

Week 16 - A beautiful week

A beautiful and sunny week.

Picking up Carlotta at school - Blowing Dandelions - Carlotta's first riding lesson this spring, she was happy! - Carlotta had a friend sleeping over. A little football game with Daniele in the evening - On Sunday a beautiful afternoon at the beach before the rain

Photo Challenge - Green/Nature

This is my first contribution to the spring photo challenge on the blogs Project Alicia, Bumbles & Light, and Live and Love...Out Loud. There have already been two prompts, but I didn't partecipate. Well, this week it was easy. Everything is so green!

 

15 years on week 15

This week's biggest event was Daniele's 15th birthday. His birthday was on Monday. I bought our first strawberries this year and made a cake. The beautiful weather continued the whole week and on Wednesday I took the girls to the beach and they put on their roller blades. On Thursday water gym with my friend and afterwards cornetto and cappuccino. I guess that's why I don't lose any weight although I go riding, to zumba, to water gym... The last pictures are from the birthday party and of the girls doing their home work in the garden. Lots of home work for the week-end, but at least we could do them out in the garden. At Daniele's party the girls picked daisies and I made flower wreaths to them. A good idea my friend had to keep them occupied while the boys were playing football.
