Fuji X-E1 y LensBaby

The "Borda Gardens" or Jardín Borda in Cuernavaca, Mexico, originally owned by silver magnate Don José de la Borda in the 18th century, later became a retreat for Emperor Maximilian & Carlota in the 19th. It is now a cultural centre, known for its romantic, 19th-century feel, fountains, and artificial lake.

 El Jardín Borda fundado por el magnate de minas de plata, Don José de la Borda en el siglo 18, llegó a ser el lugar de veraniego de Maximiliano y Carlota en el siglo 19. Ahora es un lindo centro cultural con fuentes, un lago artificial y museo.

La ignorancia es atrevida (ignorance is daring) my Abuelita used to tell me. Until today I did not know that there was more than one writer called Wolfe, one Thomas Wolfe and another called Tom Wolfe. It was the first who wrote You Can’t Go Home Again which is the theme of this blog.

Mi abuelita a menudo me decía, “La ignorancia es atrevida.” Hasta hace poco no sabía que había más de un autor  llamado Wolfe (los dos Tomás) uno Thomas Wolfe y el otro Tom Wolfe. Es el primero, cuya novela You Can’t Go Home Again, que ha inspirado el tema de este blog.

I have a short memory as to when I went to the Borda Gardens for the first time, and with whom, in Cuernavaca, in the State of Morelos in Mexico.

Tengo poca memoria de cuando fui, y con quien a los Jardines Borda en Cuernavaca en  el estado de Morelos,México.Me acuerdo, como si fuera un sueño unos hermosos cisnes. Al volver el 3 de diciembre los cisnes no estaban. Esto prueba que uno no puede volver a casa como dijo el novelista Thomas Wolfe en su novela póstuma publicada en 1940.

I remember as if it were a dream in seeing a couple of swans in the lake. When I returned this 3 December the swans were not there. This proves that Thomas Wolf in his posthumous novel published in 1940 may have been right about not being able to go home again

With my Fuji X-E3 camera I went crazy taking photographs of this lovely garden. While there were no swans there was a lovely heron and some ducks. I was taken by my nephew Juan Antonio Miranda. It was sunny and warm.

Con mi Fuji X-E3 tomé muchísimas fotos del jardín. ¡Vaya mi sorpresa en ver una linda garza y  unos patos en vez de los cisnes de mi memoria. Mi sobrino Juan Antonio Miranda me llevó. Ambos la pasamos bien en el sol y calor.
