A rest for some tired walker

You can see the roof of my house
I like this twisted branches

Isn't it nice in a certain way that there is nothing special to report?
ReplyDeleteHappy to see your beautiful house and the surroundings again. Incredicible the landscape you have around - and such a lot of space!
How far is it beween you and the closest neighbours?
Yes, I guess all dogs eat grass; it's normal!
Hi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the photos around your home. It's such a beautiful and serene area!
Thanks for sharing with us!
xoxo
Hi Peter, thanks for your visiting and nice words!
ReplyDeleteAbout your question concerning the close neighbors, on the 3# photo you see the roof of my house and on the left you can see the roof of other neighbor. On the 7# photo you can see three houses and they are near my house about 200 meters. But there are many variations between the neighbor’s yards, some are near some are most far away. Anyway, it is a bit lonely because the most part of those houses are weekend and vacations houses.
Sonia, the lovely photos from your beautiful countryside could never bore me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susie, you are very welcome!
ReplyDeleteSonia, it would be my pleasure to take a walk with you while we looked at all these beautiful sights. There's nothing boring here.
ReplyDeleteEach one of these photos is stunning. Over all I love the first: I'd be able to sit there for hours as for hours I'd be able to watch a Van Gogh's paint. Then I love the 10th (9430) photo because that dead tree take me back to "Out of Africa" (in Italian is "La mia Africa") and it touch me....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as always. Flora is such a sweetheart and she has a very elegant gait. Give her a hug for me. :)
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Sonia, hoje estou numa posição mais confortável, mas sei que há alguns meses teria inveja com certeza desse ar que você respira aí.
ReplyDeleteGente este lugar é maravilhoso, toda essa vegetação previlegia que por aí está. Dá para respirar fundo e toda paisagem oferecida é de um descanso intenso.
Embora entendo que descanso demais enjoa, mas você está numa situação ´muito confortável.
Hoje também não posso reclamar, tenho ar puro, bastante umidade, as vezes até demais. Todo um clima saudável.
Estamos bem próximos do pé da serra, então temos proximidade com muita vegetação.
Mas sem mudar de lugar, o seu é lindo.
Um beijo.
Love the photos of the heron. Such lovely birds.
ReplyDeleteI felt like I've been on a walk with you, Sonia, and that we sat on that bench, looked out over the water and had a quiet chat.
Sonia,
ReplyDeleteseu horizonte é belo e variado. Por mais que repita, seu cenário nunca cansará, merece ser visto e revisto, sob todos os angulos.
Beijos!
When I see those your landscapes and views, it`s difficult to imagine distances. So much space there in every direction. It`s beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBut where is your nearest city or village or town?
Thank you for your visiting my blog!
Que passeio completo pela linda propriedade. Parabéns! Ótimos planos e fotos maravilhosas! O lugar é O LUGAR. Nada mais a acrescentar!
ReplyDeleteBjs
Seeing where you live and the surrounding area is never boring Sonia...It is all beautiful and the pictures are so artful! I LOVE FLORA! She is such a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteI love all those trees, too...They look like sculptures in their way, you know? I am also always amazed at the BEAUTIFUL red/brown dirt of the road...It is so rich looking...it is no wonder you have so many gorgeous trees and bushes and plsnys thriving their!
Sonia, parabéns...
ReplyDeletefaço minhas as palavras do Eduardo...è "O LUGAR"!
e as fotos.... são belas... muito bonitas mesmo!
bfs e um abraço
You couldn't bore us if you tried, Sonia!
ReplyDeleteI know I have said it before, but your photos remind me so much of home (not the top bit of Australia but the bottom bit).
And I love seeing Flora - she looks like such a sweet thing.
I am never disappointed or bored with your photos. They are just beautiful. I love the one with the bare tree with twisted branches.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Connie
Hi Sonia, I never feel bored when i visit you, and the lovely walk near your home with Flora...
ReplyDeleteSonia, a cada vez que venho aqui, apaixono-me mais pelo teu lugar. Sempre gostei mais do campo que da praia. Chegamos a comprar uma pequena propriedade (2 alqueires apenas)na cidade de Álavres Machado/SP. Alí mandei fazer um tanque que chamávamos de " represa" e iriamos construir nossa casa. Não deu tempo, precisei me desfazer dela para pagar dívidas. Hoje tenho uma "represa" bem maior aqui. Mas em termos de beleza, ainda sou mais Jurumirim!s Dam, com certeza!
ReplyDeleteBoa comemoração de dia dos pais por aí,
Grande abraço e um beijo
Thanks so much for your kind words about my photos! Muito obrigada pelas amáveis palavras sobre as minhas fotos! To Peter, Susie, Judy, Annie, Fabrizio, Fénix, Anninha, Val, Gená, Leena, Eduardo, Naomi, Marília, Freefalling, Connie, Jeanette and Valter.
ReplyDeleteFabrizio: I agree with you, that dead tree take me back to "Out of Africa", too. Some part of Brazil's landscape remember Africa's savannas. If you go to see my post LANDSCAPE, you see the cerrado’s landscape. Cerrado is the regional name given to the Brazilian savannas. Around 85% of the great plateau which occupies Central Brazil was originally dominated by the "cerrado" landscape. The "cerrado" trees are very peculiar, with twisted trunks, covered by a thick bark, and leaves which are usually broad and rigid.
Leena, Enseada Azul, where I have been living, on the edge of the Jurumirim's Dam is near Avaré City about 31 miles (50 km) and 165 miles (266 kilometers) far from São Paulo City.
Freefalling, another Australian friend said it too. Val from VAL HAS HER SAY living in Melbourne said also that my landscape remember her the central Victorian landscape in some of photos. And Meow, living in Victoria, from VARIETIES OF LIFE said also that some of my landscapes's photos are reminiscent of Victorian countryside. So I would like to make a post with both landscapes, Brazil and Australia, someday!
Hi and Hello!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting and commenting in my Photos-City-Mine blog. I've put your blogs into my Google Reader Blog Feed and will be coming back and looking in each.

Lindas as fotos, um paraiso !
ReplyDeleteBeijo pra você e na Flora !
Sonia passando para desejar que vocês tenham um domingo feliz ao lado do pai de seus filhos.
ReplyDeletePaparique bastante o maridão, porque hoje é dia só de paparicos.
Que muita alegria esteja presente entre os seus.
O meu beijo, e transmita nosso abraço à ele.
You have beautiful views; I love twisted dead trees, too. One of my favorite things to take pictures of in the winter are twisted trees in the snow.
ReplyDeleteYour walk is lovely - wish I could join you!
Sônia,
ReplyDeleteJust looking at these pictures of your wonderful region makes me wish I could just drop everything here in São Paulo and have a few days where I didn't have much to do. Congratulations on the great photos and the beautiful place you live in!
So much that seems everyday or boring to us, is truly special to others, isn't it so? :-)
ReplyDeleteI really loved this photo essay from around your beautiful home!
My dog also loves to eat grass. He sits down and nibbles and nibbles. Sometimes we call them our "cow-dog". No milk, though. So far. :-)
You live in a lovely neighborhood. It's so open and bright.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Lovely walk.
ReplyDeleteSonia,
ReplyDeleteshould you ever plan to go to Italy and need any tips, let me know (I'm still quite at home there *g*). Hug, Merisi
Sonia, I would never tire of your view. Your view is spectacular. It's a place I would dream of living. Nice to see Flora!
ReplyDeleteKeep showing your wonderful place. I love it.
Sonia, agora temos que evitar a PRORROGAÇÃO dessa CONTRIBUIÇÃO PROVISÓRIA, que já duram 11 anos...Assinou o manifesto contra a CPMF? Ou você é a favor! Ajude a divulgar!
ReplyDeleteBjs
You are lucky to have such restorative walks in your neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteSonia, I can't wait for the bridge photos! Your place is soo beautiful!
