One of the Danish traditions for Xmas Season or Juletide is that you light the Kalenderlys, Advent candle, every day from the 1st December until the 24th or Christmas Eve, as a countdown to Xmas celebrations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
May the light bring peace to the world.</div>

Happy winter solstice! Xmas trees on a farm in Midjutland region in Denmark.<br />
This is one of my favorite time of the year, the shortest day in the Northern hemisphere is the door to winter but also to longer days. It is my first time in this northern latitudes and it feels magical preparations for Xmas celebrations, a Danish #juletide. I am enjoying every day of the #julekalendar and learning about Danish Xmas traditions.<br />
Looking forward to starting preparations for #juleaften on the night of the 24th!!!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.friland.org/?page_id=1216">Friland</a>, is a community in Jutland, Denmark, where creativity is shown in every corner. Friland Association was founded in 2002 with a small population that has expanded to 40 households with adults and children. they define as "a town where people experiment with changing their lives differently, focusing on sustainable living, debt and self-employment".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The community's main interests are: Sustainable construction, experimental methods in building and use of materials. Developing their own regulations. Debt-free values to avoid speculation and aim of financial freedom. Goals of zero waste, use of renewable energies, recycling and reuse of resources. Developing businesses to create a living town. Diversity in all aspects of community building, culture sharing and care for the land, owned by a fund managed by members of the association.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The guided tour I was invited to showed us the sections of the village, with creative architecture and gardens. Each one using different building techniques, developing sustainable applied design. The same approach is used to gardens and potagers. In recent years, <a href="http://www.restaurantmoment.dk/">Restaurant Moment</a> has designed and develop an organic vegetable garden and greenhouse, that provides with all ingredients for its menu, and is already serving to other businesses in the area.</div>

<br />
The work started by gathering materials, all foraged in the landscape surrounding the arts center which means they are really local flora, and wildflowers. I just pick them because of the color and shape and having in mind I wanted subtle but powerful statements in each of the creations. I dedicated time to work with them, and was happy with the pieces and the final results.<br />
I hope you enjoy it!<br />

It has been an exciting start of new projects that will continue after a short break for some days of vacation. I did not have much time for blogging, but part of the work involved shooting many photos and I am still working on organizing the archive and albums. I will be posting about some of the projects in the next days.<br />
<br />
The weeks I spent working in some project in an arts center near Antwerpen (Belgium), gave the opportunity to also experiment with new ideas about foraged flora and the new floral movement using wildflowers, locally and sustainably harvested. I had the chance to create some floral arrangements to be used in various vernissages, and I admit, I had great time!<br />
<br />
Here are some of the arrangements in a spectacular scenery, a former butterflies house that is a perfect luxurious but very neglected background that I loved photograph. <br />
Next post will be about the making off and close ups of materials.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it!<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This first post is from late May, spring was blooming and shows some details of the first walk. The area is Camden/King's Cross-St. Pancras, a vibrant and full of regenerating energy area in North London, that in late years has been designated to house new urban and creative models for the development of the metropolis.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The walk started at Camden St., just the first stop to experience a glimpse of what was going to be the rest of walks in subsequent days. Here are few images, with details of nature overtaking some façades, buildings and even the streets, some times in very original ways!</span><br />

These Alliums picked from a near park, just died but I thought they were quite sculptural as in an kind of ikebana composition and I decided to keep them for a while. I feel they match the table.<br />

An arrangement of foraged flora with Cardamine pratensis and Fumaria officinalis, a great match for a delicate bouquet, and they last perfectly more than a week.</div>

Like for example this exhibition about Fashion in the times of Romanticisms period in Europe, at a museum in Madrid. I was doing some research for an article and was very interested in the costume part of the expo, but couldn't help myself to stay in the details. Like the table set for a family meal in a European family home around 1835. The table had a beautiful center piece bouquet as a dramatic focus on the table.<br />

Following with details, today's GBBD is dedicated to my Cosmos in the balcony. I planted in late September, it was so great weather that I decided to give it a try to sow some seeds and see what happens. They did survive the so much mild autumn and kind of mild winter and last month the gave me signs of blooming. And last week I had my first Cosmos bloom!<br />
<br />
Here are some pics from today, a bright sunny March 15th for you to enjoy.<br />

I don't know what variety, because seeds came from a bag stored in my seeds box with no further info, should be more careful next time! I am testing how long can they live as cut flower, as I am preparing a project coming to live in the coming weeks.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sunny day to show my small aquatics garden. We brought some Cyperus papirus and Iris pseudacorus from a friend's garden in Majorca, who inherited three years ago some from garden. They have been indoors since early November and they are thriving with new shoots. We love them and are really looking forward to see "the little pond" growing.</span><br />

First GBBD of 2017.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This past January 15th, in Spain and for days, weather reports are menacing with polar air and bitterly cold days, that may be true in the northern regions, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but here in Madrid ..., but this is my balcony yesterday morning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am joining (after a long hiatus) the GBBD community with my very humble-mini-balcony garden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The plants growing are from seeds planted directly in last October and they are thriving due to a very mild fall season with warm and sunny days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The balcony is South oriented so they receive a lot of sun and warmth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have marigolds, begonia, some Kalanchoe daigremointiana, beautiful fuchsia Cyclamens,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
growing sweet peas, fantastic Nasturtiums, for salads, parsley, dill, fenugreek, potatoes, ...</div>

I am not happy at all about dry and warm weather, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
actually I'm very worried, but I try to enjoy this small nature wonder </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I want to participate more in the sharing of posts, yes a resolution! and I will be posting to contribute to those garden bloggers who host memes.<br />
<br />
This images of today is about In a vase, some cuttings of Epipremnum aureum in an intent to bring more plants to my studio that help with purifying the air. We definitely need that extra help in big cities.<br />

It's been really long time since I last posted any photo or reportage here. It's been a mixture of things, the summer, holiday time, illness, and time for meditation about profession, projects, future...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not only this blog, but others I edit and of course the social media sites. At beginning I was really excited about posting but lately it started to feel more an obligation both personal and professional, and I have spent some time in the evaluation of the point of sending out more and more messages. Therefore, I felt the need to take a break and re-define my interest in publishing, sharing my thoughts or work.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3-WCb96bOrQ/WA33KPMR2II/AAAAAAAAIBM/w_6EmOCKSrMwBGr9HXPuZpDZnxOkU8L4QCLcB/s1600/Antwerp%2Bstreets-5522.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3-WCb96bOrQ/WA33KPMR2II/AAAAAAAAIBM/w_6EmOCKSrMwBGr9HXPuZpDZnxOkU8L4QCLcB/s640/Antwerp%2Bstreets-5522.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may not notice the difference but I can say that there is a renovated interest in posting, but not only as a journal following the calendar, but as my interests dictate and hopefully the post will interest you. I have built an image archive along the years, I have accumulate tons of images for personal or professional reasons and I feel the urge to work more on them than go out and take new ones, except for really appealing events or situations, or if my work obliges me.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am rediscovering, if I ever lost it, a love and passion for documenting with images, build stories with pictures. But I am also reconciling myself with written narration. Actually is more than that, it might be a development into a new pleasurable activity. It might have to do with storytelling, or with teaching, or just simply another phase in life, aging, a personal evolution.</div>

I did a shoot for a reportage and while working on the images I could recognize some trends in the use of botanical arrangements for interiors. These are some images of botanical details that were my favorites.<br />

I use it not only for decoration, but also for adding color and scent to bath salts. These are from cherry blossoms, almond tree blossoms, roses, many spring blooms included horse chestnut blossoms.<br />

I did this reportage last spring in London, it is a beautiful spot in between the boroughs of Dulwich and Peckham. It is kind of a surprise because you would not expect to find a wild habitat in the middle of a residential area in a metropolis like London. But it is a really lovely and interesting reserve that serves city gardeners, families and students, not only for the landscape, but for the service to conservation and research for the <a href="http://www.wildlondon.org.uk/reserves/centre-for-wildlife-gardening">London Wildlife Trust</a>.</div>

Days ago I posted in IG a photo of these beauties, t</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hat I just found in a friend's garden and took some home as cut flower bouquet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They open during the day and last quite few days in a vase. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are perennial bulbs mostly native to Southern Europe</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I found that a common name is <span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><i>Star-of-Bethlehem.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems cannot have enough of them these days! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love them!</div>

These are some pics from <a href="http://www.son-baulo.com/">Son Baulo</a>, a place that is a tearoom in the afternoons and a restaurant and events venue at night. I visited it two years ago and again during my last trip to the island and confirmed that it stays as natural and country scenic as I remembered.<br />
