We took an early start to the weekend. We left nice weather behind and headed towards the rain, summer house. We could see the clouds turning dark grey over the highway.
And it rained when we got there and continued to do so all night. Luckily we were nice and warm inside with the fireplace giving us warmth and nice atmosphere

“How sweet to be a cloud. Floating in the blue!” – A. A. Milne
Blue inspires us to live in the present and bid farewell to our stress. By creating an air of serenity, it does just that. On a particularly challenging day, consider looking up at the sky. You’ll find an oasis of calm gazing up at the clouds.
“Everyone can enjoy the blue sky. The world is fair.” – Jukô Nishimura
Where calmness is present, so too is the color blue. In addition to its peacefulness, blue also offers direction and empathy. Though these attributes are promising, blue is also fragile and somewhat cowardly. These varying qualities make blue the perfectly balanced shade that so many love, trust, and adore.

Something I noticed is that I was not able to do all thirty-one posts of Something I noticed. I truly tried. SO this is my last post on this theme. I saw this decoration on a gate
I think I am going to go floral next month? Flowers to celebrate the colors of the season? Or should I call it color of the day…I may repeat the the color many times, who knows. This all is still under consideration.
Something I noticed, the beautiful light coming in, the white curtains and tablecloth. the window view is not the most spectacular one, but many times that is the case.
Still, I hope you are enjoying it anyway.
Simplicity is the theme in this one, I think.
Something I noticed, the beautiful light coming in, the white curtain, and green walls to match the colors on the other side of the window, hope you are enjoying the same sight now.
I also did a black and white version as the contrast and light kind of demanded me to do so, you know what I mean. 🙂 This time the color one appeals to me more.
Something I noticed while sitting in the early autumn afternoon was my lovely little cat Tinka enjoying the same moment with me.
Come on in, something I noticed when entering the room was this old door knob.
Old tableware, that’s what something I noticed and the very old wallpaper.
Gates are not so common nowadays, so it was something noticed. A white gate with an inviting path.
When looking carefully, something I noticed was this bumble bee. That’s all for today.
These flowers are something I notice everyday when I sit by my computer as they can be seen from my window. Pretty, are they not ?
Red apples in the apple tree was something I noticed first , I also spotted couple rotten ones.
These bugs are something I noticed , lovely orange shield bugs and a ladybug
Stairs, up and down. Come and go… Just something I noticed and really liked. The light play, leading lines.
Three takes in color and black and white versions too, looking at the stairs from three different angles. Up, down and from the side.
The darkest version is my favorite. That was not hard to guess, it think 🙂
This fly, bug..I’ve no idea what it is as a species, but something I noticed was the bright green color, it was such a great contrast to the garland it was on. I must admit, I was happy I had my camera on hand.
A chair in a corner, just something….yes I noticed it several rooms.
