It looks like the convent in Lisbon is in the background; the peace of the open walls and sky... I have the convent photo by Victor on this blog or another one. It is one of my favorites.

Note: so foxes do a lot more leaping and jumping than I was aware of! Wonderful...

Fox Leaping in Snow

I swear, I've never seen fox (or any other animal) dive-bombing head first in the snow! Pixdaus has some pretty incredible photos.

Lonely are the Brave

By Carlos Serrano (Coco), Trek Earth, Easter in Spain
Date: 2006-04-12.

"It was the 1962 year.
The 20th Century Fox make a movie with Kirk Douglas called “Lonely are the brave”.
It was one of the first big steps of the film music Jerry Goldsmith.
Some one said about him, that the film was horrible, but the music not only was the best of the film: was really a very good music.
Bernard Herrmann was who said it.
Here, a lonely and brave tree, very near of the path of Robledo, is just in the begin of Robledo.
Look what colours.
Look the long shadow of the tree, almost out of the photo.
I hope you like it.
Also two WS."

Which is yours? Which is the reference that you follow?

Como cada mañana, cuando sale el sol, los girasoles se preparan para seguir su luz, su fuerza y la fuente de su vida, brillando y siguiendo su referencia.
¿Cuál es la tuya? ¿Cuál es la referencia que sigues?

It is our soul, in the wish to overcome our limitations.

Thanks milk.tea.girl ... I wondered how you got these beautiful backgrounds on some of your photos! I thought you made them up yourself, and was thinking "it must have taken so much time." Now I can give this a try, too! Thanks so much. And best wishes on your upcoming marriage! Your friend, Catherine
