Fragments

Happy Friday dolls!! I hope the week has been kind to you all. I am tired really, so glad for Friday. My last weekend to do nothing before the school starts here again in the new week. Lots to organise and take care of. Welcome to my new followers :) I leave you with just small fragments of life from here and there. 

Have a wonderful weekend

{The sun going down outside where I live. I love watching the sun go down or come up, it's that inbetween moment when everything comes alive and changes once more before sleeping or getting on with the day}

{Pondering at the Kelvingrove Museum, I had just come out from seeing Dali's Christ of Saint John of the Cross Painting - below. I had teared up a bit seeing the painting, felt quite humbled. But, I also missed my Nana, as she had just passed away (this was taken at the end of March}

{Salvador Dali. 1951. The 16th century Spanish mystic St. John of the Cross had a vision that he had translated to paper. He'd drawn the cruxifiction from an unusual angle & when Dali seen this drawing, he was inspired to create this painting - The Christ of St. John of the Cross. He wanted to render the painting from the point of view that God would have seen. Because we see Jesus as the connecting bridge between God and man. The cross and Christ for a triangle to represent the Holy Trinity, Christ's head a circle in the center to mean that he or his act is the center and meaning of everything in the universe. He is all you need to realise. The arrow points to the earth, meaning that he is God's gift to mankind.  This painting hung in a small room & it really is a must see, because as you step closer to it...you, yourself feel as if you are walking in the sky on a tightrope towards the cross and looking down...it really is amazing. Dali has always been a favourite since studying Art History}

{Lilies, my favourite flowers (besides peonies)...there are always lilies in my house somewhere...I love the heady aromatic scent that fills my senses...helps me relax}

{A few dresses hanging around after my wardrobe pole fell down and clothes were everywhere...they are now all organised and colour coordinated, haha. Maybe I just need a bigger wardrobe}

{My squirrel friend that I spotted at the Botanical Gardens in Glasgow, eating cheese & onion crisps (chips for Americans). I don't blame him, I like the cheese & onion kind too - although, I don't eat crisps anymore}

{And you know...I'm in love with Art Nouveau...so this piece is a must...it's a Lalique piece...you can see more & learn about him here on the marvellous Miss Meadows blog...she's a darling doll, she is.}
