I love skating and dancing and have experienced both. Although I was a roller skater, I love ice skating as well. My inner self belongs to Africa and to Europe. Family and friends are life treasures. Portugal is my home country.
An indisputable truth

Some time ago, I made a post under the hashtag Marchmoves, a very nice idea developed together by @Albert van den Berg  and @missmuhimu, implying Nature observation to follow the growth of a plant or a tree. This was one of my photos. Albert asked me if it was a fig tree. In my ignorance I said it was not a fruit tree and that it was growing in a public area near my house. But the question remain...
The touch of happiness
Teresa Seia
1 week ago
Happiness is already in her name! I dedicate this post to @NOOS Happy Words . A Yoorsie I don’t know personally and, in truth, I don’t interact that much with. Nonetheless, I often visit her blog. Sometimes, I leave likes and comments, others I just navigate through recent and older posts. I end the visit with a lighter heart. Delicacy, bright or smooth colours, always joyful, a particular te...

It took us some time to move from a childhood friendsh...
Our Story in three chapters

1. My name is Oliver Williams. Even at the Science and Linguistics Institute, everyone calls me Ollie. Saimie is behind me, sitting on the armrest of my stroller. Jumping from nowhere he sat there, making funny noises. When Mom pushed the stroller back home, he followed us into the house. Mom let him in and he stayed with me until I was put to sleep. The next morning he came to meet us at the same...
Baroque Splendor with Moths and Other Bookworms

The Colony Director addressed the new team. ‘Remember that we are in one of the richest libraries of Europe, Joanina Library of the University of Coimbra, built in the seventeenth century under our King Jonh V.’ He solemnly coughed and resumed his speech. ‘ It is your duty to preserve the books under your custody from the action of moths and other bookworms’. A murmur rose from the team. O...
March moves, paving the way for April

09.March.2021 - 10.March.2021 - 13.March.2021 - 24.March.2021 - When I read about the initiative #marchmoves that @Albert van den Berg and @missmuhimu developed together, I thought it was a great one. I’m joining the initiative in this last day of March; with non-professional photos, I attempted to capture reality through my lenses. Following the growth of a living being like a plant or a tree...
People of Yoors: first stage accomplished

1. Since the beginning of this project I had the privilege of making seven great “interviews”. I tried to keep them representative of the diversity of Yoors and I think I achieved that personal goal. The “interviews” also met my wish of knowing a bit more about the way in which Yoors helped develop some personal projects, as well as about the reality of individual contributions. In my view...
Tea with Mrs. Alma
Teresa Seia
4 weeks ago
I can tell a lot about any person by the touch of the hands. That girl was special, believe me. Her fingers cuddled my skin as she spoke and her voice seemed to sing for me and for the old lady. ‘Lovely crochet, Mrs. Alma, this pattern with flowers makes a beautiful effect’ She leaned towards me with genuine interest, while pouring the tea in the mugs (Mrs. TeaPot claims it was her that caught...

Change of Season

Nature moves on over us Its creatures Places where everything is happening Under its stretched skin We are given another chance To love forgotten things. Yet, We do not stay under the sun. It’s so urgent to stay away from peace! We call for more than night, we call For dark shadows, for a dark cradle for birds As we imagine them Drawn in books We dress in white, we walk on rocks Chasing the seag...

Please, see her challenge here: https://yoo.rs/challenge-create-your-own-yoorsbingo-card-en-1615411219.html?Ysid=163532  I closed my eyes and let my mind navigate through all the posts I've seen on Yoors until now. Pieces of phrases appeared distinctly before me and I could almost hear the voices pronouncing them. Above letters and voices a differe...

(1) Posting meaningful content has been a major concern for you (you even created a booster with the # ultimatepost). Could such content tend to be more time-consuming for the viewer and if so, how could a balance be found between commenting thoughtfully and keeping up with a fast-growing Yoors? I think at the moment users of Yoors are looking for boosters and the biggest booster receives a lot of...

Mr. Rooster Goes to Town

1 month ago
In Mr. Smith goes to Washington, a delicious and acclaimed Franz Capra’s film of 1934, actor James Stuart plays the naïve and upright character of a young man who becomes a junior senator of the US Senate. Once there, he has to stand up against a corrupt plan related to a building area, defending truth and freedom. All differences duly noted, the title came to my mind when a rooster escaped fro...
Yoors Art Gallery

The art historian E. H. Gombrich once said there is no art, there are only artists. On Yoors, however, it seems to be possible to find both. With a little time and effort, that is. If you take a moment to dig through the archives and the more recent entries, you can find some real gems out there, but you do need to take a moment. As I've mentioned elsewhere, thematic navigation on Yoors is still n...

Snapshots of Portugal

When writer José Saramago won the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1998, it was as if we were receiving the award with him. Years before that prestigious event, Saramago wrote a book about Portugal, about its landscape, people, traditions and culture (Caminho Ed., first published in 1981, mine is the 9th edition, April 1994; reference to subsequent editions may be found on the Internet). I chose its ...

Let it Spring, let it Spring, let it Spring!

1 month ago
In the human calendar, Spring means rebirth and is a joyful event. I also see it as a gentle reminder of humans’ place in the global scheme of things. And I hope we keep progressing towards a more virtuous interaction between Nature creations and human made ones, particularly in urban areas, where the human presence in the landscape is more visible. Meanwhile, I think about a renewing cycle, ano...

New York is one of those places to which I travelled in more than one way. Please check them here: Family travels: in the seventies my father had to work for three months in New York. My mother joined him during part of his stay. Together they walked endlessly through NY streets, galleries, museums, parks…Their eyes took me to the city and to the important 5th Avenue. Many years later my daughte...
