EXPLORING SL: CalanDiva Village


Diva Land

Have you ever visited a place with a specific purpose 
and ended up staying for a totally different one? 
This was the case during my first visit to "Diva" Main Store for hair. I went for the hair 
and ended up staying for hours enjoying the beautiful scenery that surrounds this establishment.


It is called CalaDiva Village, where nature is very well alive. 
It is where the sounds of the crickets and a soft wind can 
be heard in every corner.


Shade- Trader Cart
Where fresh wildflowers are picked every day and 
carried across the village in this old dark-wood cart.


Badgers
Where badgers look curiously at visitors from their burrows 
and don't seem to shy away if you get too close.

Two Piglets
Where cute piglets sit side-by-side greeting all comers with their loud oinks 
and their curly tails dance to the sound of the birds chirping from the trees above.


Resting At Sunset
Where an old log is so inviting, that you can't help resting on 
it next to a peaceful sunset.
And a gang of sneaky squirrels will steal the goods from your picnic basket
 if you are not too careful.



The Animals
Where sheep, goats, and pigs all play happily together,
teaching us a good lesson on how we should all be friends no matter our differences.


The Well
Where you can fetch a bucket of refreshing water from the village's well 
to cool you down.


Where the hiccups from a squirrel that is passed out
from tirelessly drinking a whole bottle of wine
attracted your attention.


And when you turn to look
you realize that the giggling squirrels
have taken over the picnic blanket.


1) Helping themselves
to the wine, savoring every drop...

2) and trying to cut open the watermelon...

3) Munching
and burping and Oh Ohing when they get caught.


The Little Houses
Where little houses stand in a line along the stone pathway,
Empty and inhabited.


The Moon
Where the moon has come low,
almost touching the ground, and has become a sitting place.


The Windmill
Where the arms of the windmill keep going around
as the woo-woo song of an owl
and the sound of his flight
come rushing out from the small window...
the one on the top.


Fields Of Flowers
Where fields of flowers
of orange and yellow cover the land.


The Old Bike
Where a Penny-Farthing can't be ridden
unless you are the owner :P


The Pond
Where a beautiful pond by the big tree
lives in the middle of it all.

~Dirty Rat~  Old Rowboat
Where crystal water
is home to an old dirty-rat boat that serves as a garden
to the colorful mushrooms that grew inside it.


The Table
And a floating table
so depressing to sit on that I rather take a walk
and enjoy the beautiful sight.


The Island
But don't take what all I showed you
as everything there is,
for there are many other wonderful things
like an island in the distance
with a huge tree
that can be climbed
by you and me.
