About Books and Writing It’s raining again. Dina kindly asks if we’d like to help her dust off our books. We feel less than no desire to do so. But at least we flutter hand in hand over our book collection.‘Do you know,’ Selma suddenly asks, ‘why Klausbernd has shelves full of books on dream …
Lens-Artists Challenge 265 When the sun shines mercilessly from the bright sky as it does today, it is not really weather in which Dina goes out to take pictures.
