Once again I am sitting here on my bed and uploading snaps of Goa trip which will summarize the Goa tour. I am listening to some Russian songs now, missing the language a lot!!! Missing my parents, my city, my friends, food and so on. But one thing definitely makes me happy nevertheless - from time time during the day I feel my baby's movements, kicks, and can even see my belly shaking :) It is very strange and at the same time exciting. Just few months are left... just a few weeks...
Today's pictures are more varied as I took them on the day of our departure, when we were passing time in the cafe near our hotel after check out. There I found last impressions of Goa:
The painting of an Israeli/Russian artist Olin'sha N., if I read her signature correctly, who lived and painted in Goa some time ago. Delicate strokes, palette and themes of her paintings attracted me. Simply beautiful!
And by the way we checked a hotel above the one we stayed in. I loved this view - an old cross with flowers and the sea on the background!
These were one of the latest impressions of Goa. Sun, flowers, sea, colors! Today or tomorrow I will start posting about small projects I made during the time of my absence from blogging. I hurry so much to make those I want!
Have a nice weekend! Tomorrow Indian is celebrating a festival of colors, Holi. So Happy Holi in advance in case I won't be able to post tomorrow, as it is a working day for me.

Then after having light lunch I went on to exploring the cafe premises and noticed bright flowers everywhere, all of different tints of pink color. This one is Bougainvillea, thanks to my friends for educating me. Now I also know what I'd like to plant in my garden!
And this one is still a mystery :)
This one is Goan Hibiscus. So pretty pink!
There was also a palm tree with loads of big fruits on it - young coconuts as you, my friends, let me know! Aww, paradise!
Before leaving I spotted... a cat lazying in the bushes on a hot day.
Another one came from nowhere. Lucky one, tricoloured!

Lovely pictures. I don't remember if I've said this before, but I want to say congratulations on your pregnancy. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Debi! I think you wished me but thanks once again! :)
DeleteIs Holi the one where they throw coloured powder? Are you going to take part? I loved the tour of Goa. I never thought that I would want to go to India, but I wouldn't mind seeing Goa! That art work is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Jojo, this is Holi... :) But this year I am not going to play it hard, my belly won't let me :) Thanks, I am really very glad you liked this little Goa tour! I'm sure you would have liked Goa a lot!!!
DeleteBeautiful paintings! You need to post a picture of you during this wonderful time. Hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! Well, I guess our pics will be boring, as it is mostly we at the cafe or just with the sea... better not spoil the view, I think :) Thanks, I am fine!
DeleteHope you too!
Hi Anna, Lovely pictures and glad to know about your baby progress:)
ReplyDeleteI guess those flowers are Bougainville and hibiscus. Happy Holi to you !!:)
Hi Preeti! Yea, we are growing day by day :)
DeleteThanks, I will not the names!!! Happy Holi to you too!!!
I can hear your joy through your words and it makes me very happy for your D and you. What a miracle.
ReplyDeleteSorry you're missing your people and your land--I feel like that often, too.
That calico cat is precious!
We are very happy, Magaly. I feel more and more attachment to my baby... and I love my D more and more and now!
DeleteYea, it happens, I know you can understand me well!
Cats are adorable creatures!Thanks for a new word "calico" :)
Lovely photos. By the way the "fruits" are coconuts. Hope you are taking good care of yourself. Happy Holi to you and D and yes, please avoid Holi this year... :) Lots of love.
ReplyDeleteHi, Dear Anna...writing from my bed, as well - recovering from surgery yesterday. Beautiful photos of your trip, as they all have been - glad to hear the baby is moving so well...fun! Your first and third flowers are Bougainvillea (we have those here), and your second and fourth photos are of Hibiscus. XOXOXOXOXO
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, when is the baby due? It is very exciting in those last months when he/she is really kicking around in there. Such a strange feeling indeed. Wishing you all the best. Yes, the kitty is a calico and they are always female. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about holiday and also saw the lovely pictures, those paintings are beautiful. The fruits on the palm tree are young coconuts.

DeleteI am taking care and joined prenatal exercise classes and counseling sessions.
Hugs!
Gorgeous pictures! I love the cats ;o) I am so happy for you and you little one to come ;o)
ReplyDeleteI love those russian paintings, I've always loved that kind of fairy-tale style that is quintessentially Russian. Can't help you with the flowers, but they're very pretty. But the fruits? Are they coconuts? I know the coconut has some kind of thick fibrous shell on the outside. Thank you for popping over to my doll blog and leaving such a sweet comment!
ReplyDeleteThere were more of the paintings but I like dthese two the most. Yes, you are right, it is young coconut, I myslef thougth so but their yellow color confused me.
DeleteNo thanks please :)
Honestly, I thought I had commented on this post? I guess it didn't go through? Sorry ;o)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you are missing your family and friends! Keep hugging your baby ;o) I love the pictures ;o) The cats make me smile ;o)
Hugs ;o)
Stacy, yes, you commented, it is just I coulnd't approve on my office laptop and did late.
DeleteIt is okay, thanks, however I have family here too... but yea, missing my own parents a lot!
Cats are always a fun to watch :) Hugs back at you!
