Sorry Charlotte, I changed my blogger status to oooo to try to get rid of it. I'm Carolyn, if you want to leave a comment at rosenotes about your GGW entry that won.
Your pictures are beautiful and your quotes are great. Very thought provoking! Are the pictures your own photography?
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled on your blog and I really like it....

Don't quite agree with the quote. Maybe it sounds better in the original language :-)
