Good night, dear Heart,
Good night, good night.”
Good night, dear Heart,
Good night, good night.”

Summer is one of the best seasons of the year, also give the awaited holiday after a hard year´s work. It is also a very romantic season to fall in love and to do a cruise on some parts of the world. Even it has inspired to great painters to paint pretty pictures of lovely summer landscapes.
ReplyDeleteJuan Carlos, bienvenido por aqui, muchas gracias por visitar mi blog y dejar tu comentario. Me alegro de que te haya gustado la selección que he hecho. Un saludo para ti y buen domingo,
ReplyDeleteMadrileña, thanks for your comment. I totally agree with you because I love summer and I would like summer would never end!
ReplyDeleteDear Nieves, I invited some friends to visit Blogzoom and see my story that I appreciated their presence (you also) in my life. So in Facebook is like a living room, cos friend are talking about, add more content, saying nice things and I'm smiling ... happy!
ReplyDeleteAbout this AMAZING post: Fortunately the weather is improving here. Spring is coming. The days are sunny but cool. This week the winds are very strong, yesterday slammed my door and the glass broke.
These watercolors are wonderful. I'd rather look at a painting I understand what I'm seeing, than to wonder what happened to the head of whom he painted.
Kisses!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Sissy, you are lucky spring is coming where you live, just on the contrary that it happens here, though really all the seasons are attractive and I am starting to appreciate even autumn, that has never been my most cherised one.
ReplyDeleteRelated to the paintings, I agree about that you don't have to be an expert in art to love paintings, I think it is just something to do with emotions more than with the head.
About Blogzoom and Facebook, unfortunately I really don't have much time to give to those social networking(my daily work and to keep updated my three blogs take me the most of my spare time, apart from family and friends), so please, excuse me if I don't reply to you through them as much as I would like.
Lots of hugs and kisses for you, my dear friend!
Respiro verano a través de este post. Una delicia maravillosa.
ReplyDeleteCordiales saludos
