Summer at La Pouyette - Charly 2


 In August.....

"God is in the Details"

It seems to me that this well known quote is Charly's "theme"
when walking around La Pouyette, taking photos.

A wonderful surprise - have received yesterday this set of photos
which Charly took just a day before the family left back to Germany.

Again...Images interesting and incredible,
incredible for a 15 year old Girl....

 P.S.

"God is in the details." - Mies van der Rohe 
Concisely expressing the idea that details matter, 
and whatever it is you're doing should be done thoroughly & with an attention to detail.

 Some say “God is in the details,”
meaning opportunities for discovery and creativity come from digging into the details.

Summer at La Pouyette - Charly 1



 
One of my most wonderful discoveries this year was the creative talent of “Charly”, 
a sweet 15-year old high school student from Leipzig, Germany,
 whose real name is Charlotte.

The Charente-Dordogne region is her second home. 
Every summer of her young life, Charly has spent her holidays in our area 
together with her father Matthias, a journalist and Lutheran pastor,  
her mother Svetlana, a Bulgarian-born high school teacher,
and her two years older sister Clara.

This time my "Leipzig Family"...


...and their gregarious eldest daughter Clara...
 

...busied themselves gardening, swimming, weeding...


 ....cutting Lavender...
 ...and making lots of lovely bunches...
*
*
...while Charly, a tall and beautiful, rather quiet young lady, 
walked about aimlessly...or so it seemed...
  when not swimming, reading or "hiding" in the coolness of the house.... 


* 

Then last week, before they returned to Germany on Friday,  
Svetlana emailed me a spectacular gift: 

A set of photographs 15 year old Charly took while wandering around my garden. 

I was so thunderstruck by their beauty demonstrating Charly’s artistic sense 
that I decided to share them with my readers.
