Reflection

This week in Our Beautiful World the word is 

                                                            Reflection

chosen by dear Wen of  Love a Rustic Life.

What's a reflection? We see them everywhere. On flat surfaces, on water surfaces, on glass surfaces, in mirrors.

Metaphorically children are the reflections of their parents. And politicians are the reflection of the people of a country.

Also a reflection is a long consideration or thought on something.

I have given serious reflection recently on the bad behaviour of parents against teachers and in front of their children because the teacher simply did what they should do and nothing more. It hurt me, then made me angry. Then I just gave way and thought of showing you here the reflections I spotted around me at times instead. Simply because I always want to reflect on the beauty around me and forget the ugliness.

Here's the reflection of the sky and the buildings opposite my school on the glass of our Teachers' Room table.

Here's the reflection of the setting sun on the asphalt of the avenue by the sea front.

Here's the cruet I bought from the ceramics studio where I learn ceramics.You can see the reflection of my blue kitchen wall and small balcony in the mirror too.

Here's the reflection of light and the curtains again at school on the Teachers' Room table.

Here are the reflections of the stars on the water surface in the paintings the children at school made with the assistance of the Art Teacher!

Can you see the reflection of the light on my ceramic pot?

And can you guess what this is? It's the reflection of the sky on the pond at the nearby park. Can you spot the turtle?

See the reflection of the setting sun on the sea?

And the light reflecting on s\the sea here?

See the reflections of light in the dark room....

and the reflections on the water in the pond under the bridge.

Reflections of light on the mirror at Emigre cafe while sipping coffee with friends.

And people reflecting on the mirrors at Achilleion Corfu island.

And remember your behaviour is the reflection of your personality and most of all remember that your reflection makes a difference in the world.

Cup

This week's prompt in Our Beautiful World is

cup

chosen by Mandy of A teacup of Scrapisms.
I love drinking coffee twice a day.

Here you can see my coffee at school during the break bought from the school canteen.
I could have written pages about drinking coffee and tea but I don't use cups. I use mugs! I have a big collection of mugs which I have bought from around the world!
I also drink my tea in them or in small Turkish glasses.
I prefer filter coffee and cappuccino in winter and frappe or fredo cappuccino in summer.
What's your favourite coffee?

My happy

This week's prompt in Our Beautiful World is

My happy

chosen by Ros of Mikeys Mum blog.
There are a lot of things that make me happy.
I guess having a beautiful family, a  house and a job in a peaceful country is what makes all people happy. Unfortunatley not everyone can have it all.
Doing sports, hobbies and travelling makes us happy too. Although some people are unable to do these things or can't afford them.
So here's some of

My happy

 during last week's visit of our friends Margrit and Bullent from Istanbul.
My happy is when friends are visiting...

 and we walk the sea front together....

 spotting newly married couples having their pictures taken.

 My happy is when we take friends sightseeing on a sunny day to beautiful sites in the city like
Yedi Kule...

 spotting details like this Classroom in the former prison...

 or this poppy blooming on a wall....

My happy is when we coninue our sightseeing tour to Vlatadon Monastery looking at the lovely view....

 and seeing all those gorgeously "painted" peacocks

 and stopping at Trigoniou Tower to take our picture.

 My happy is visiting the suburbs of the city under lovely weather....
like Nea Mihaniona,

 with its church

Angelohori, spotting people windsurfing....

 and having coffee at Perea,

 spotting little sparrows feeding...

 and some brave people swimming....

 and shadow and light playing games...

 My happy is visiting museums with friends like the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art looking at art

 which can be really funny some times...

 and having the chance to buy some things at the flea market!

 My happy is having lunch with friends at our favourite place To Elliniko

 although outside it is raining cats and dogs but still it is my happy because there is no thunder or lightning!

 My happy is looking at all the treasures we bought at the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art flea market...
books...

 pottery, glass and Easter eggs....

 and porcelain lamps....

and afterwards enjoying "our" movie "Ouzeri Tsitsanis" together with our friends and eating pistacchio baklava, my favourite!
