It whispers about Mother Earth and connects us with her.
Browns give us a sense of feeling safe, neat and wholesomeness…
Some of my awesome browns life moments:
A monkey iron sculpture at a Lusaka craft market… I love the way the monkey is seated,overlooking the whereabouts of the market activities.
The small guy that takes care of my kitchen garden… he lights his lamp every night… then magic begins...
A small flower getting ready to nourish mother earth with its seeds…
A splendid pedicure :)
Their chest is so beautiful and meaningful… you can find them at 3,260 m high in the Simien Montain – Ethiopia
Our Rhodesian Ridgeback dog…
One of the castles at Gondar – Ethiopia
Time for a traditional coffee? Directly from its original place…
Dry season in the African bush
Undressing for the season… ;)

Gabriela, I just LOVED your take on BROWN. Each photo made me smile for its own specialness. So glad I dropped by today.
A very soulful post! There is a feeling of exploring the earthiness of beauty!
I'm loving your sandals! :)

Some Splendid & Strangely Restful Photos.
This is the best TT Brown so far and I'm 2/3 through the list. Wonderful photos & variety of images & browns. Simple and exquisite.
I love that monkey sculpture.
thank you for taking me to places i probably won't have the opportunity to visit. they are most indeed, wonderful and inspiring.
i agree with Betsy, i'm loving the sandals!

love the castle pic - almost see the knights approaching....
Splendid indeed :)
Each with it's own brown story to tell. Fantastic series.
That's it. Lovely photos, gorgeous dog but I'm off for a manicure and pedicure, been 'umming and aahing' for a couple of days now so thank you for making my mind up for me!
these are awesome browns.
Thought for sure I would see some chocolate somewhere, but your brown subjects are delightful and thought-provoking.
I enjoyed your imagery. I envy you for all that you've seen...
I used to hate brown. Black, black, black...always had to be black. Seems as I age, my affinity for colors does also. I have fully embraced brown :)
Great browns, each one better than the last. Oh, to have some coffee in that castle!
Dear Gabriela,
I will never look at brown the same way again. Far-off places look lovely in brown and golden glint...
You bring in so much of the culture and setting with this post. Most interesting.
what absolutely marvelous images.
