Looking Through Project Green
Anna is doing a new project,
it's called Project Green.
But I love Project Looking Through too.
I think this picture suits them both.
It's a barn goats sleep in,
I saw it when I explored this peaceful place.
I love the quote between the door and the window,
I would have wanted it to contrast a little bit more,
but I like my pictures as natural as they come,
and I really don't like photoshopping them ...
( Maybe I'm wrong? I don't know? )
Anyway, it says:
" Consideratus et humilis sicut Asinus"
Anybody speaking Latin out there?

Photohunt Thirteen Teddy Bears
This week's Photohunt theme is " thirteen".
I wrecked my brains on this one, counting all sorts of things,
looking for an interesting sign,
or a housenumber, anything!
Finally, after being sick and tired of counting things,
I decided to use another strategy.
Choosing thirteen of my favourite teddybears from my collection,
and do a photoshoot with them ...
So this is my official Photohunt picture for this week,
thirteen teddy bears.
But I had some fun with them too,
so I'm adding a couple of extra pictures here ...Four of them were hand-made by me.
First up is the big one in the back.
Number two is the cute little black one, the first bear I ever made,
together with my youngest sister.
It was made out of an old jacket of mine!
You see? He always looks like he's smiling!
Sitting next to him is number three, the honey golden one.
And number four, another favourite of mine, the yellow one.
It has a little musicbox in it's belly,
and the song is " You are my sunshine, my only sunshine"
Charming huh?
The last picture is one I made for
Project Looking Through.
I don't know if PLT is up during the weekend,
but I did one anyway.
I looked through a wreath,
and then had a little fun spherizing it with Photoshop.
There, I think this is one of my longest Photohunting posts ever!
Teddy bears always get me carried away a little!

Project Looking Through ...
I made these pictures with Project Looking Through in mind.
In case you're wondering what it is you are looking into,
.... it's a brasserie and it's right next to the Cathedral in Antwerp!
The place is called " het elfde gebod" which means
"the eleventh commandment" ...
It is famous for the huge collection of religious statues.
I added the link so you can check it out!
Please do, it's worth it!
Keep it in mind if ever you want to visit Antwerp!
I tried to capture the reflection of the Cathedral in those windows,
and apparently this picture also shows somebody passing
by looking at my crazy attempts to make this picture!I had to bend through my knees all the way down
to get the best reflection ...
Yeah right!
I'll do anything for a pretty picture!

a Thirsday Thirteen and some Peeping Through
My Thirsday Thirteen post is down below,
please enjoy my PLT pictures before you go!
I'ts new, and it's intriguing, and it's fun to do ...
The only requirement is the sensation of looking through something.
That keeps it specific enough to keep us focused,
but vague enough to free up everybody’s creativity.
I figured Project Looking Through — PLT for short — is a good name.
so I am adding two pictures instead of just one...
They're both taken at the abbey of Tongerlo,
from the inside, looking out.
Don't forget to check out what the others have done with this theme!

For this week's Thirteen,
I want to share thirteen small or major events
from the previous week that I enjoyed ...
Things that made my week ...
1. I went shopping for clothes last Thirsday,
and found a couple of nice things to wear.
2. I owe that to the shop assistants who really
worked with me and helped me.
I need their help and their support badly,
because I loathe shopping for clothes!
3. I decluttered my dresser in my bedroom.
Yep! I finally managed to get rid of the
" what not to wear anymore" stuff!
4. I got it organized again.
It was a hell of a job, but it looks great now.
5. It was my father's birtday on Sunday,
and the whole family got together to celebrate.
Days like this are so precious ...
6. I was playing with my camera and found out how to use the zoom!
This too was one of the most exiting moments of my week!
Now I'm able to shoot the close-up pictures
"I-always-wanted-but-did-not-believe-were-possible!"
Not with that camera anyway!
7. I managed to amaze even my husband with my pictures.
(he was the one who bought the camera by the way)
He never used it enough, and he never read the manual either .. so ...
8. Taking pictures of the daffodils with the droplets on ...
9. My husband enhanced my computer workspace
in the study with two new big bookshelves.
It has become a very cosy corner.
10. That orchid he bought at the same time!
I do hope I can keep it alive, hmmm?
11. I had an extra day off this week!
Yaaay! Some extra me-time!
12. I used it to go on a photostroll in Antwerp!
I walked for hours, snapping pictures.
The music from the violin player in front of the church was divine.
And then on another location
I heard an old man reading poetry to his wife.
Secretly eavesdropped on them, it was beautiful.
13. I had a cup of coffee in my favourite coffeeshop!
There were loads of other things too that made me smile,
but hey .. this is Thirsday Thirteen huh?
I'm already looking forward to read the others ...
They are here ...
