"Dream of white december" ... ("Decembrie alb. Vis"...)

Since the winter with the snowflakes seems to be so far away... but the freezing temperatures and coldness is already around us...
Since the december is not a white season till now (as it was long time ago....)... and all we can do is to still dream at ... (not for long hopefully...).

Winter at Sinaia, Prahova County. Peles Castle in 2010.

Since with some days ago (actually weeks of november) I had the chance to capture the sweet light from a sunny autumn's day while I had been to a walk in the park....

I'm sure that you'll enjoy of:
- the beauty of nature in various green, yellow and red shades...

- the infinite blue who seemed to be close to perfection...

- the atitude of calm... coming from all the displayed statues on the park alleys...

- the cozy invitation to be thrilled: by the pink atmosphere of having fun, cheerful time... (may I say so...)

- the relax that is coming, also, from the joy of spending good quality time with family...

- of all the smallest and major details that "interior eye" will capture them as a private treasure of soul...

- all the impressions, thoughts that will come into your mind while exploring in virtual way an almost perfect day of "golden" autumn...

- and You'll notice that It could seemed to be like a glorious and fantastic day of Christmas...

So: "Christmas is more a state of mind...that It should be felt in every day ... a presence beyond everything that we know... a state of joy for our soul that needs to calm down and relieve all sorts of the pains... a way of seeing things more relaxing... to improve ourselves and be more sensitive to each other needs and... so on!

...With the hope that will not be unusual to celebrate the first day of winter solstice through some instants captured in the recent autumn...

...I wish you to have a pleasant and wonderful time to celebrate the soon coming Christmas Holidays while you'll listening these beautiful Romanian Christmas Carols!!

Crăciun Fericit şi voios, tuturor!

To all of you: Happy & Joyful Christmas Holidays!

Joyeux Noël!

Addenda:
"Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays."

I enjoy travelling and documenting to find out new & old things, to see world and people with one drop of positive attitude... from a huge sense of wonder... But before all, it was William Blake who beautifully said it: "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. (...) Fragments from "Auguries of Innocence". Also, "It’s never too late (...) to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same; there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." excerpt by F. Scott Fitzgerald

What a beautiful series of photographs. They are so festive and pretty. My favorites of the collection are your shots of the sculpture of the two girls reading their book. They are heavenly. I had such a wonderful time scrolling thru the photos and reading your notes. A wonderful Christmas post. genie

This is a nice walk and so lovely statues in the park ... I enjoy the sun and the weather almost like autumn or spring.
Of course, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, but that will not be in Germany not ...
So I am grateful for the sun.
Thanks for sharing, I like the songs too :-)

Ce imagini frumoase! Din nou nu recunosc oraselul copiilor! Cand s-au intamplat toate modificarile astea? Arata atat de bine!
Imi place mult poarta de intrare si fetitele care citesc povesti! Dar de ce carticica este scrisa in limba engleza, copiii din Romania nu mai citesc povesti in limba romana?!

Merci Alexa pour ce beau message très évocateur pour moi! D'abord ces magnifiques statues dans ce beau parc qui mettent en valeur la lecture. Une fois que l'on a appris à lire tout un monde s'offre à nous!
Les très belles chansons de Noël m'ont ramené en enfance, quand nous écoutions sur un énorme tourne disques des chansons de Noël de différents pays en d'autres langues que la nôtre!
Belles fêtes et belles vacances de Noël

Sakura in April

"A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus Prunus, particularly the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is called sakura after the Japanese (桜 or 櫻; さくら)." "The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short." Source Internet/Wikipedia

Soul journeys through memories. (5) De-a lungul Dunării. Along Danube.

"Names and etymology"* "The Latin name Dānuvius is one of a number of "Old European" river names derived from a Proto-Indo-European *dānu. Other river names from the same root include the Don, Donets, Dzvina/Duna, Dysna, Dnieper and Dniestr. (...) "The Latin name is masculine (as is the name of the Rhine). German Donau (Early Modern German Donaw, Tonaw, Middle High German Tuonowe) is feminine, as it has been re-interpreted as containing the suffix -ouwe "wetland". The modern languages spoken in the Danube basin all use names derived from Dānuvius: German: Donau ([ˈdoːnaʊ̯]; Bavarian: Doana; Yiddish: Duney דוניי‎ [dʊnɛj]); Silesian: Důnaj; Upper Sorbian: Dunaj; Slovak: Dunaj ([ˈdunaj]); Hungarian: Duna ([ˈdunɒ]); Croatian: Dunav ([dǔnaʋ]; Serbian: Dunav / Дунав ([dǔnaʋ] or [dǔnaːʋ]); Romanian: Dunărea ([ˈdunəre̯a]); Romani: Dunaja ([ˈdunaja]); Bulgarian: Дунав Dunav ([ˈdunɐf]); Ukrainian: Дунай Dunai ([duˈnɑj])."Source Wikipedia

De gustibus non est disputandum

"De gustibus non est disputandum is a Latin maxim meaning "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes" (literally, "There must not be debate concerning tastes").

Sometimes the phrase is expanded as De gustibus et coloribus... referring to tastes and colors.

The implication is that everyone's personal preferences are merely subjective opinions that cannot be "right" or "wrong", so they should never be argued about as if they were.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia De gustibus non est disputandum

Ziua Pământului/ Earth Day ... "Let's celebrate it in every day!"

"The Black Sea* is a sea in Southeastern Europe. It is bounded by Europe, Anatolia and the Caucasus and is ultimately connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Mediterranean and the Aegean Seas and various straits. The Bosphorus Strait connects it to the Sea of Marmara, and the Strait of the Dardanelles connects that sea to the Aegean Sea region of the Mediterranean. These waters separate eastern Europe and western Asia. The Black Sea is also connected to the Sea of Azov by the Strait of Kerch." *click for more info on Wikipedia.

"Ascultă, priveşte şi taci!... Ascultă, să-nveţi să vorbeşti, Priveşte, să-nveţi să clădeşti, Şi taci, să-nţelegi ce să faci... Ascultă, priveşte şi taci" (...) Când braţele-ncep să te doară, De teamă să nu-mbătrâneşti, Rămâi tot cel care eşti – Aceeaşi piatră de moară – Când braţele-ncep să te doară!... Iar când, cu ochii spre cer, Te-ntrebi ce-ai putea să mai faci, Ascultă, priveşte şi taci!... Din braţe fă-ţi aripi de fier Şi zboară cu ele spre cer!..." Fragmente din poemul "A XI-a poruncă" de Ion Minulescu (1881 - 1944)

Sarmale Tradiţionale/ Cabbage Rolls filled with pork meat; versiuni reţeta/recipe (ro/eng)

"Sărmăluţele, ca şi sărutările, n-au număr. Nu ceri şi nici nu ţi se dă un număr de sărmăluţe, ci un grup. Vezi cu surprindere că a dispărut. Ti se dă altul. In clipa când ai devenit melancolic, nu mai ceri. Atunci abia înseamnă că ai mâncat sărmăluţe. Clipa sărmăluţelor fusese atât de palpitant patriotică, încăt baba, ca şi acei regi care se duceau singuri pe cîmpul luptelor importante, apăruse în uşa sofrageriei. Lupta fusese câştigată: farfuria sărmăluţelor era goală.” (Ionel Teodoreanu: La Medeleni din vol.III Intre Vînturi)"
