Matteo F. and my roots


Many events have borught me back to my roots these days.
A person, very dear to me, has flown to heaven and has brought me back on my feet on earth.
My life needs a safe landing, despite the desire to sail towards unknown, wonderful worlds.
My roots anchor me and make me love life much more.
I am this boat, and my sea is calm and crystal clear, despite my tears.
I smell the perfume of weeds and ask myself why I'm still here, breathing, while Matteo is no more among us. I don't know, I don't understand, but I live.
Farewell Matteo, I am sure that you too are sailing on an even more beautiful sea, with your new, wonderful boat, and your smile as a companion.

Tanti avvenimenti mi hanno riportato alle mie radici in questi giorni.
Una persona a me cara è volata in cielo e mi ha riportato con i piedi per terra.
La mia vita ha bisogno di un saldo approdo, pur desiderando navigare verso ignoti e meravigliosi mondi.
Le mie radici mi ancorano e mi fanno amare ancora più la vita.
io sono questa barca, e il mio mare è cristallino e tranquillo ora, nonostante le mie lacrime.
Sento il profumo delle alghe e mi chiedo perchè io sono ancora qui che respiro, mentre Matteo non c'è più tra noi. Non lo so,non lo capisco, però vivo.
Ciao Matteo, sono sicura che anche tu stai veleggiando in un mare ancora più bello, con la tua nuova magnifica barca e il tuo sorriso come compagnia

Present Magazine Kansas City Voice

In Italy, if you say 'Kansas Ciy', you remember our great Alberto Sordi (actor).
Well 2 days ago I was surfing on the net and I saw this Magazine (PresentMagazine.com) full of photos about Nature. Spring is here and I'm photographing the world around me. Why not send some pictures?
I didn't known if This magazine was international or not and I sent my photos to Pete.

Well Pete replies to me after only an hour and He said 'While we normally focus on publishing material with some connection to Kansas City since we're a locally-based online magazine, your images are so colorful and striking that it would be a pleasure to feature them in our Take Your Shot series'
Pete, we are connected through Alberto Sordi...

and so, now, I am into Present Magazine!
Fly to have a look!

my sardinian frog now is international!

Drawing with Flu

When you have the influenza You can do a few things...You can sleep if your nose says yes (and my nose says NO and every 3 minutes I cough and cough, bleah), You can watch TV...but watching TV doesn't relax me..or you can read books or you can draw. I read and I draw, on my sofa


my world is full of strange people, fun people that live into the flowers and around the flower and on trees. My flu, I know, fly away if I draw! bye bye...
