Mixed feelings


I know that time to be getting ready for the holidays and the winter weather is here.



Some people can afford to spend their days philosophically smelling the flowers, and singing the song "Tuca Tuca":




It feels like my trip to Cuba was such a long time ago


My days are spent in taking care of chores.



I wish everything was fast and easy.



In reality, it actually happened. The birds that flew and walked around us.







Also the waves and the strange finds on the beach.




Visiting abandoned hotels.



A various other adventures.




This collection of natural wonders, which I had collected throughout the week, and then left on the shore.


The cow sculptures that we could see from our balcony. They reminded me of Salvador Dali.


And also, live animals that sometimes crossed our hotel's territory, leaving behind them some natural fertilizers.


All that's left is a dream. In this dream, I'm swimming like this fish.

  3. Olga beautiful photos of the birds and I love your cat smelling the flowers, ha ha. Holidays leave wonderful memories but they always seem to go so quickly. We are off to Casablanca over Christmas and I know that week will just fly by. Sadly I cannot see the videos as our connection is too slow but your photos make up for that. Take care and keep well Diane

  4. Beautiful photos of your holiday Olga dear, the beach, the sand, the hotel gardens and the treasure you found. The photo of Deniska is gorgeous, such a beautiful cat.
    It does not take long to get back to the daily grind after a holiday, in fact it has been such a long time since I have had a holiday I have forgotten when it was.
    Take care and enjoy your new kitchen.

  5. Any photo of Deniska will get 'Top Photo' award from me but I am a total sucker for big fat (not too fat) furry cats, and he looks a total lush lying like that on his back.

    But your other photos are lovely too. :)

  11. Olga,
    Always great fun to visit your blog!

    I dropped my jaw at that incredible machine. Scary!

    Toronto has be caught in terrible snowfalls, too much is too bad.
    In Nara, we had the first snowfall on December 9th, but too little.
    But, we are having the coldest winter in decades.

    Cuba looks like a spring paradise for me who am in the middle of a frozen season.

    All of your photos are stunning!

  20. Look for foreclosure opportunities. Ganga Bhakti There are a lot of excellent real estate investment options among foreclosures. They are near always listed well below market price, and some may likely only need minor upgrades and touch-ups. Foreclosure flipping can be a very profitable investment strategy, but do your homework before getting into it!Ganga Music
