curiosity

Curiosity did not kill this cat, but it made him tired. The other curiosity: one of the cats is a fake one...

a short walk

I was away on vacation during the first half of last december. Back to the roots in Santiago, Chile. Here are some pictures taken along the way , click on them to see the enlarged pic.

First a handicraft village, with one of my favorite plants (or should I say tree in this case?) right at the entrance: a bougainvillea


Then I saw cats...
Some for real, some were ceramic ones, but they all took naps...




and a beautiful peacock





Just walking through the market:





Urban decorations: horses




and another horse


Manquehue hill


The Andes in the summertime

Looking down from my sister's apt , 13th floor, see the jacaranda tree on the left? There are many of them in Santiago, they are lovely purple spots among all green trees.



It is always good to be back, although I have been living abroad for over 21 years now. Home is actually where you are planted but it is nice (and important to one's soul) to have a place to go back to.
