Beautiful moments.....as the school year ended.

Schools closed!
The children left on the 15th, some of them not even saying good bye.
The fate of the English teacher.
Is English a school subject of less importance?Or just a secondary one.
We also chose the new headteacher and the new subheadteacher.
I applied for the latter position with no success.
 I am glad my colleagues respect me as much as I respect them though and the person chosen for the position is someone I respect too. 
I guess it's a matter of who they know better and for more years.
We are starting the new school year in September with great hopes that it will be a good year. 
Unlike other schools we chose the headteacher we wanted unanimously.
 We will all be together again working in harmony.
 We finished the school year with dinner out and we were all together! It was great!
I am the person who always looks for the rainbow after the rain!
 I am glad I do!

Spotting beauty around me.

With all the things happening around us in the world sometimes I wonder if people are interested in seeing beautiful photos of flowers, blue seas and skies that I post in my blog.But really I can't stand this ugliness in the world either being the toll of deaths in Nepal after that huge earthquake or the sickening massacre of a little child by her own parent in my own country.
Seeing the beauty around me simply makes me forget for a while the ugliness and appreciate the good things I have in my life. And all of us should try this.
These last weeks when I go to school I see and smell this beautiful wisteria.
 The Art teacher at school makes beautiful paper poppies for a Mother's Day celebration at school.
 Aren't her papers lovely?
 I bought a couple of small plants for my balcony.

The sunsets lately are gorgeous!

 A pupil treated us to these lovely sweets for her birthday.
My crafty group friends and I had coffee one beautiful afternoon.
 At last a cold coffee!
 Hubby and I walked the seafront many a time.
Barca was always with us!
 And we met lots of nice dogs like our friend Chech!He is huge but he is such a good boy!
More about last week and especially the long weekend and May 1st in the next blogpost.

Spotting beauty around me.

I always take my camera with me and spot beautiful corners.
That's one of the windows of a abandoned house we pass on the way to the sea front.
A gorgeous butterfly on a daisy!
One of the lovely scenes of a cartoon movie I recently watched.
An old Turkish bath in the city centre.
The view of the harbour.
A green alley.
Alexander the Great!
And since I have taken so many photos and linked them to a great blog called Our Beautiful World I am sure this blogpost is appropriate to link to them as they are celebrating one year of making the blog and they are also having a bloghop and giveaways. So go over and enjoy!
And here's the prompt of the next two weeks. To put a photo of ours at the age of one!So here I am trying to walk!
Today I am linked to Our Beautiful World.
