“It is amazing what a lot of insect life goes on under your nose when you have got it an inch from the earth. I suppose it goes on in any case, but if you are proceeding on your stomach, dragging your body along by your fingernails, entomology presents itself very forcibly as a thoroughly justified science.”

T stands for Travel

Hello My T-Friends!

How are you today? I hpe you are well. As I told you I travelled last week to a small city in the north of Rio de Janeiro. There are 15 beaches there and they are fascinating. It is a very quiet city and it is perfect if you want to relax. 

I spent five magical days, enjoying the landscape, listening to the waves breaking on the shore. Here are some photos.

My daughter enjoying the scenery.

 You can see a lot of turtles in the sea from here. It's amazing.

 It was very windy and I am dishevelled ha ha ha. A lot of artisans sell their goods here. I bought a lovely Frida Kahlo painting ( naive art).

 Look at this fabulous graffitti on this house. What a lovely street art!

My daughter and me.

Here is a friend of mine. We've been friends for over 30 years. She lives there. My daughter is the smiling girl taking the photo.

Don't forget to visit Elizabeth

T stands for Happy Moments

Hello T- Friends!

How are you? Today I don't have anything new to show you apart from my Halloween parties with my classes. Here I was a witch. As Halloween isn't a tradition in my country, we commemorate it at schools or at English courses most of times. Besides there's a sort of religion intolerance as some evengelicals react against it saying it is evil. I suppose it is difficult to understand the real meaning of Hallloween for most people here. 

And here I am as Frida Kahlo with my 7th grade. It was fun!

I will be travelling in a few days so I hope I can bring something different from my real universe: schools-students to show you. I don't know if I will be able to contribute next week. 

Have a magical week and don't forget to stop by Elizabeth!

Hugs, 

Karla

This year

Art Journal Journey challenged us to create something in which we couldn't show wings, faces or leaves. So I brought a sofa with some furry friends. I lost my cat this year and my dog had her leg amputated due to a cancer. She's very well now. So my pages are a celebration of life, a tribute to my furry friends.

She's the black one.

And here is Dida ( in memorian)
