As I promised last Flowers from Today, I am posting now, the pictures that I taken last week…an afternoon in the forest.I like walk in the forest, after rain…because I can find it lots droplets….
Como eu prometi no último Flowers from Today, eu estou postando agora, as fotos que eu tirei última semana…uma tarde na floresta. Eu gosto de andar na floresta, depois da chuva…por quê eu posso encontrar muitas gotas de orvalho…
But what I saw there gave me more certain that the Universe is really of the children… I met a swedish boy…JOhan was together with his mamma and his sister. THey were searching Bluebär, a tradicional swedish fruit. But…I wanted to pick up flowers… When Johan saw me, he said me: “Look to my head, Grace…no hair…nothing…”
Mas, o que vi lá deu-me mais certeza de que o Universo é realmente das criancas… Eu encontrei um garoto sueco…Johan estava junto com a mae dele e a irma. Eles estavam procurando por BLuebärr, uma frutinha tradicional sueca. Mas… eu queria catar flores…Quando Johan me viu, ele me falou: “OLha para minha cabeca, Grace…sem cabelos…nada…”
And I was curious to hear him… What happened with his head?And his hair?He was bald, because his father scraped his hair…when I said that I was looking for flowers, he abandoned everything and left running behind me.. Life is full of surprises…More than with the droplets that I have seen before…to be into the forest…
E eu estava curiosa para ouví-lo…O que acotneceu com a cabeca dele?e os cabelos?Estava careca, porque o pai dele raspou o cabelo…Quando eu falei que estava olhando por flores, ele abandonou tudo e saiu correndo atrás de mim. Eu fiquei surpresaa…Mais que com os orvalhos que eu vira antes de estar dentro da floresta.
Grace, the rain is coming…Look to the sky….
The photos with Johan to remember me when I was child and I´d played with my young brother. At that time, the badness was lesser, and we´re really, children. Today, I woked up with an enormous sadness… August …a bad month for me…gives me sadness without end…My mother passed away… 10 years ago…left me when I was 35- years old. I would like to continue being child… and that my mother couldn´t say GOOD BYE! And, together, we could run in the forest and we could wait the sun, the rainbow…The happiness was complete for one simple reason:she was with me.
As fotos com JOhan me fazem lembrar quando eu era crianca e brincava com meu irmao mais novo. Nesse tempo, a maldade era menor, e nós, conseguíamos, realmetne, ser criancas… Hoje, eu acordei com uma enorme tristeza…Agosto…é um mês ruim para mim…Me dar uma tristeza sem fim.,..MInha mae morreu 10 anos atrás…deixando-me com 35 anos. Eu gostaria exatamente de continuer sendo crianca…e que ela nunca tivesse que me falar TCHAU!E , juntas, nós correríamos pela floresta e esperariamos o sol, o arco-íris…e a felicidade estava completa porque ela estava comigo…
I did not use effect on the last 3 photos. I´ve taken these photos with LEns Baby and Accesories Creative, but if you aren´t a patient person, dont try it…for me to get it, I spent 30 minutes…under rain…
Now, started to rain again…and I think that my mother never died…She will continue with me…forever…And I would like that when I will die, my children to think about me, like I think about my mother…
Agora, a chuva comecou…e eu peno que na verdade, ela nunca morreu…Ela continuará comigo…para sempre…E eu gostaria que quando eu morrer, meus filhos pense sobre mim, igual eu penso sobre minha mae…
Why did I decide to write in English?Because after a STROKE, I´ve forgotten many languages I´d spoken before and I need to speak English because my plan is STUDY HUMANITARIAN ACTIONS IN UPPSALA but I´ll apply when I feel confortable with the language.

Oi Grace. A vida se mostrando em infância, flores e cores. Imagens perfeitamente adequadas para um sábado pré-primaveril como o que temos aqui nos pampas. Um beijo.

Grace, nada conheço de técnicas fotográficas, não posso nem comentar por aí, então cabe dizer que as fotos são lindas, sendo que duas me emocionaram especialmente: a da flor vermelha e a do caracol.
Seu talento para a fotografia desabrochou de vez, menina.
beijinho

Oi querida,
como sempre , fotos espetaculares. Que nitidez, que natureza pura, fantáticas. A história sobre a sua mãe, me faz lembrar meu irmão. Todos nós perdemos alguem que não queriamos ter perdido. A dor é imensa e a saudade então, nem me fale.
Beijo grande

Oi, Grace!
Após uma longa ausência, pude, finalmente, deliciar-me com a maravilha que são as suas fotos! O garotinho talvez jamais seja tão bem fotografado, a menos que volte a sê-lo por você. E o caracol, deixou-me sem fala!
A cada nova visita, percebo que sua técnica melhora além do que seria imaginado antes, quando parecia não haver nada mais a melhorar! Parabéns!
Beijo, carinho.

Grace dear, I am sad for your mother’s passing. You were much too young to lose the one person we can always go to when we need advice or help. There is nothing that can replace a mother’s love. I still miss mine every day although she left us 21 years ago.
Your walk in the rain-soaked forest is a beautiful tribute to your mother.

Dear Grace,
I feel so honoured to have you coming and visiting my blog and leaving kind comments. Now that I am here, I am truly and genuinely feel delighted to read your words and the photos are just magnificent. You have captured great stories by the photos alone. And the little boy Johan is such an adorable little guy. You did not only found the flowers you were looking for but your wish also was granted to see the droplets touching their beautiful faces (petals) and dripping ceremoniously caused by the rain.
As to your dear mother whom you lost 10 years ago, please accept my heartfelt though belated condolence. I have a story about my dear mother and how she died. You may find another link there to complete that episode. That story is found in my Main Blog:Parched Paper and the Quill. The title of which is The Storm of Life. I hope you will find time to read it.

When our daughter was young, my mother used to want to shave her hair. The old saying was that it will help her grew a head of thick hair. We did not shave her and she still has very fine hair. Her daughter, on the other hand, has a full head of black hair. I heard of lens baby and does not know that it is so difficult to use. Love your photos.

Hi Grace, it is always such a great pleasure to visit your blog and see your amazing photography. How beautiful everything is and the little boy you met from Sweden is so precious. I am very sorry to hear you lost your Mother ten years ago. I lost mine 17 years ago and I still miss her to this day.

Não dá para olhar para a natureza e os olhos de uma criança e ficar imune, não é? A nostalgia vem e nos arrasta para lugares especiais. As pessoas não morrem, elas se ausentam do plano material, mas estão cá em essência junto à nós. As partículas do espírito de quem nos ama, entra por nossos poros e não sei se percebeu, mas tem dias, você olha para você e diz: Nossa, estou parecendo minha mãe, ela também fazia assim!
