Dear Ipernity members, I receive a lot of invitations to join somebody's network. Some of you might wonder why I don't accept them. The truth is, I don't add people to my network who send me an invitation without looking at my pictures, without writing a comment, or who only add a star as a favourite. For me that is a sign of not being truly interested, and interest in somebody's work and the person behind it is for me the reason why I am here. Love and clicks from Holland! Erato

There's always some lunetic that spoils your holiday picture... Il y a toujours un fou qui gâche ta photo de vacances..... Es gibt immer einen Blöde der den Ferienbild verdirbt... Hay siempre un loco que estropea su foto de vacaciones.. C'è sempre uno pazzo che sciupa la tua foto di vacanza...

Dear friends, It’s time for a a little break. On Friday I’ll leave for a holiday to Germany for two weeks. I hope you’ll continue to make photos in your own unique way.

Vendredi je partirai pour une vacances à Allemagne pour deux semaines. J'espère que vous continuerez à faire des photos dans votre propre façon…

Poem Margurite Kingman The firelight glows The embers sigh We dream We doze The cat and I The kitten purrs The kettle sings And the heart remembers The little things Le feu rougeoie Les braises soupirent Nous rêvons Nous sommeillons Le chat et moi Le chaton ronronne Le bouilloire chante Et le cœur rappelle Les petites choses El fuego brilla Las brasas suspiran Soñamos Dormitamos El gato y…

The new Ipernity, what else can I say then it is a complete disaster. My personal style is gone, it takes ages to upload a page or a photo. What a huge disappointment this is!

Als Als de zon zich verschuilt En het licht verdwijnt in grauw Als 't roze grijs wordt En 't grijs wordt weer blauw Denk jij, als ik dat kon vangen En schrijven kon aan jou Dat ik dan uiteindelijk Een echte dichter heten zou If When the sun is hiding And the light becomes gloomy When pink turns into grey And grey goes back to blue Do you think, if I could catch that And write it to you That I would finally…

If you forget me I want you to know One thing You know how this is If I look At the crystal moon, at the red branch Of the slow autumn at my window, If I touch Near the fire The impalpable ash Or the wrinkled body of the log, Everything carries me to you As if everything that exists Aromas, light, metals Were little boats That sail Toward those isles of yours that wait for me Well, now If little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little I…

Robert Louis Stevenson 1850-1894 Une chanson de printemps Le ciel était plein de soleil et de oiseaux L'air frais étincelait clairement La mémoire réveillait dans mon cœur Et je savais que je l'aimais de toute mon âme Les champ s incultes, les arbres sans feuilles Et tout mon esprit picotait Ma pensée d'amour précédent Et la première souffle du printemps Son parfum, se mélangeait Dans mon coeur calme les pensées se réveillaient En masse…

Geluk Geluk is geen kathedraal Misschien een klein kapelletje Geen kermis, luid en kolossaal Misschien een carrouselletje. Geluk is geen zomer van smetteloos blauw Maar nu en dan een zonnetje Geluk dat is geen zeppelin Het is hooguit een ballonnetje Happiness Happiness is no cathedral Maybe a small chapel No fairground, loud and immense Maybe a little carousel Happiness is not a immaculate blue summer Just a little…

William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850) The daffodils I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high over vales and hills When all at once I saw a crowd A host, of golden daffodils Beside the lake, beneath the trees Fluttering and dancing in the breeze Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the Milky Way They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay Ten thousand saw I at a glance Tossing their heads in sprightly dance The waves besid…

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) Sonnet 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day Thou art more lovely and more temperate Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May And summer's lease hath all too short a date Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines And often is his gold complexion dimmed And every fair from fair sometime declines By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest Nor shall…

Sometimes a photo can touch my heart. It is true that there is poetry in pictures and a picture in poetry. Thank you Alfonso! A veces una foto puede tocar mi corazón. Es verdad que hay la poesía en los imágenes y una imagen en la poesía. Gracias Alfonso! Manchmal kann ein Foto mein Herz berühren. Es ist wahr, dass es Poesie in Bildern gibt und einem Bild in ein Gedicht. Danke Alfonso! Quelquefois une photo peut toucher mon coeur. C'est vrai qu'il y a de la poésie dans les images et…

Holland Denkend aan Holland Zie ik brede rivieren Door oneindig laagland gaan Rijen ondenkbaar ijle populieren Als hoge pluimen Aan de einder staan In de geweldige ruimte verzonken De boerderijen verspreid door het land Boomgroepen, dorpen, geknotte torens Kerken en olmen In een groots verband De lucht hangt er laag En de zon wordt er langzaam In grijze veelkleurige dampen gesmoord En in alle gewesten Wordt de stem van het water Met zijn eeuwige rampen Gevreesd en gehoord…

A poem by Mary Frye Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow I am the softly falling snow I am the gentle showers of rain I am the fields of ripening grain I am the morning hush I am the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight I am the starlight of the night I am the flowers that bloom I am in a quiet room I am the birds that sing I am in each lovely thing Do not stand at my grave and cry I a…

One evening an old man told his grandson about the battles of people. He said, my boy, the battle is between two wolves inside us. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then aske…
