Our kitchen and the red gerberas were enlightened by a bright sun shine in the morning - I enjoyed my first cup of tea beside the window ... Looking the sun rays reflections on the bushes outside and on the flowers inside. It's much aesier to wake up when the sun is shining ... the bright light gives somehow energy and colors the morning with a "golden" lining :) I took s snap shot of the greberas, and used a brand new Mextures App for the first time - It has amultiple of layers and is designed by Merek Davis, whose texture work I admire greatly. 
The weather changes - Sunday afternoon was filled with raindrops after the rain - fresh air humid air - wet, wet, wet every where ...I took my phone and captured these the little shiny pearls. The amount of the pixels in the photo is a bit low, so I made a green background to using Word Paint, adding a texture on it, and then pasted the photo from iPhone.
From Monday to Wednesday I had a course in downtown. The Botanic Garden lies just beside the University, so we took a walk there with some of my collegues at the luch breaks. Feeling the warmth of the sun on my cheeks was lovely - the flowers blooming around ... the summer has arrived!
An iPhone app called Glaze transform your pictures to paintings. I chose these traditional, oli painting-alikes for these photos - Glaze has plenty of options, also more abstract and fun ones.
Last Saturday I tasted a delicious salad at my friend's house, she shared the recipe with me and I made it yesterday at home ... A fresh, simple treat of kale, mint and quinoa (the recipe will be soon on the blog :)
Last, but not the least, a friend of ours surprised us by coming with these lovely flowers! Her language of love is certainly coming with these lovely surprises ... I'll bake something nice and sweet to her this weekend. I need read a Whole lot during the weekend, so the baking will be the nice break & motivating factor to get through the pages :) Enjoy your weekend, Nina sharing with Random 5 Friday - Friendship Friday - Floral Love
