chit-chat

Last fall I submitted two Haikus to a contest run by Candice of Art Neko Rubber Art
Beautiful and inspiring Asian images ....
OSA-members chose one of my poems as no. 1 .....

Don´t stop at first place... all of the Haikus are wonderful and the images, too.
Now which ones will be made into rubberstamps accompanying their image?
Thanks OSA-members !!

Thanks for nominating me, Ilonka - this will be a difficult choice.... since I visit a lot of blogs frequently...

Here´s my choice of blogs:


Blended Colors
Redhead7
Art with Moxie
Katrin´s kreativer Kram
The Colour Guru

Strange for our pet to watch the stray cat being fed by me. This morning he ducked under the entry stairs of the house only to dash out and run the trespasser off when I openend the door to feed our stray tomcat.
Yesterday I could take a photo of him while our grey one sat by my feet and I was constantly talking to him not to attack his brother - lol. In the moment I took him on my arms he was courageous enough to spit at his stray brother... Just have to figure out how to upload from the camera ....challenged here.

I´m passing on this recommendation, I´m not affiliated :

ATC Quarterly - A Canadian publication

A book that I read lately is "Dschungelkind" by Sabine Kuegler. Born in Nepal in 1972 she spent the first 17 years of her life in Indonesia (West-Papua) among a forgotten tribe of former cannibals with her parents who worked as linguists. A lot of us are fascinated by foreign cultures and I thought I would recommend this touching story. Returning to Europe in 1989 with 17 yo she was challenged to live in a new world she didn´t know anything about. About her experiences in this new world and reflections of childhood stories you can read in this book. It is written openheartedly.
