Day 223

A juvenile robin. You can see that the chest is turning red. 

A few weeks ago it was colorless. It's nice to watch this little bird in my garden.

Finally I'm sewing a table on this quilt.

Day 203

'Le petit Prince' in Icelandic.

I was thrilled to find this book at the airport in Keflavik on our way home. 

I collect this book in different languages since I was 16. It is translated in more than 160 languages.

Now I can add an Icelandic version to my collection. 

The skein wool is from Hélène Magnuson. It is lovely a lovely soft Icelandic lambswool.

On our way to the airport Keflavik. 

Last Iceland picture.

We arrived home late.

Day 198

Gullfoss.

One more time the Majestic Gullfoss.

No picture can describe the beauty of it. You have to hear the massive water what is coming down. 

and feel it in your body. 

We stayed close to this waterfall for two weeks in a lovely warm cabin. 

Tomorrow we are heading home.

We drove miles and miles on Iceland's beautiful roads, along Icelandic horses, sheep, mosses, waterfalls, mountains,volcanos and the coast. (without seeing any traffic light)

I took a lot of pictures and I could even take more.... 

I enjoyed every minute of

Iceland, a land of unspoiled nature.
