Welcome, my name is Sylvia and I am a graphic designer writing from the beautiful city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States. This blog features some of my photography, poetic ramblings and the beautiful photos that my son Wolfgang, my daughter Guinevere and my husband Philip (spanishwoods header photo) have taken. I am first generation American, 100 percent Spanish my parents born and raised in Barcelona and my heritage stretches from the north to the deep south of Spain. Spanish is my first language and the language of my soul.
Share my thoughtsโcome into the woods with me…

Stunning work. You are a very talented family.

Visiting another blog I saw your profile photo, as you of the blogs she is following, I’ve never seen one eye photo say so much about about a person, I got curious and I came here. Lovely blog!

Well, I’m glad you did come here. My son Wolf took that photo and I decided to use it as my profile image. I’ve since noticed quite a few people using one eye which is interesting. I wonder why we’re attracted to that. Maybe it doesn’t tell the whole story but just enough to stir interest. In any case, thank you for stopping by today.

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. I love your work (both visual and literal). Oh and thanks for liking my Haiku “A Summer Spring” I hope you can enjoy more of my work.
I’m just wondering if you can give me some tips in regards to photography? I’m quite an amateur photographer, with a basic point and shoot style.
Many Thanks

I thought your haiku was lovely. My son took most of the photos featured on this blog, but I will tell you to take as many photography classes as you can, look through as many great photographers’ work as you can and stay curious. That’s my advice. Best of luck to you.
