Merhaba!
I loved Istanbul , even though it was freezing and the sun only managed to come out on the last day! At the airport for the return flight I was asked if I would do an interview about my visit, and being besotted with the place, I instantly agreed, (though this is out of character for me) . One of the first questions was , what were my impressions of Istanbul? Here are some of things I said:MIS MIRADAS

images from Prague....
a saxophonist,
and folks
stopping
to watch and listen to him,
and a cool shady place to walk
and explore the dark interiors...
some art nouveau.....
a little gallery I found and liked
an evening patrol of penguins,
and some artwork, interesting, colourful, imaginative, whimsical and all done in coloured pencils, and I remembered that I used to work in this medium, maybe I should get mine out and give them a go again.

wild gladioli
On a sunlit morning here I picked a bunch of these wild gladioli and took them home and put them in a blue glass vase. In the market in Marrakech I used to buy bunches of these lovely cerise flowers. As I write these words I remember the colours and perfumes of the flowers there... will I ever get back to Marrakech I wonder...?

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice , there is little we can do to change until we notice how our failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds. RDL
