  • Travel Theme: On display

    Could only find 2 pictures for this. Not a big display picture taker. Hehe But I realize that those pictures will probably give people an idea of me that will not convey the real me. Nope, I don’t ride motorcycles. And nope, I don’t fight. But at the time I took those pictures, something made… Read more

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Big

    This week has been crazy preparing for office move. So not new nice pictures for the challenge. I was then trying to go through my old pictures and see what I could find that would show BIG.

  • Travel Theme: Animals

    I’m not a great photographer of anything, what to say of animals, who would typically move and try to hide… So I sort of need friendly animals that will ‘pose’ to me. The travel that I did that provided me with friendly animals the best was in 2003, when we went to the Olympic Peninsula,… Read more

  • Monday’s Sunset

    Monday evening, as my husband took the kids upstairs for a bath, I started preparing dinner for the family. Then I looked outside and saw a huge fiery sunset. The sun was a big orange/red ball as it set behind the trees cross the street. I could not resist, took my camera and escaped to take… Read more

  • Sunday Post: Autumn

    Although we’re still in Summer (barely, actually. Last days!), Fall has been showing its colors for a few weeks now. And I mean literally. Because that’s one of the things Fall (or Autumn, if you wish) is about right? Colors! Colors and fallen leaves. I come from a place where we have only 2 seasons:… Read more

  • Travel Theme: Texture

    This week, Ailsa‘s Travel Theme Photo Challenge is Texture. I love texture and have some need of feeling it. My husband thinks it’s funny that I need to touch everything that has a different texture. And I do need! Otherwise, it’s no fun. 😉 I also try to take pictures of things I think has an interesting… Read more

    In response to F-Stop Fun post http://fstopfun.com/2012/09/08/all-right-mr-demille-im-ready-for-my-close-up-creative-macro-photography-how-two/, I tried to create some colorful macro pictures of CDs, water and light.

I’ll post only 4, which may somehow summarize part of a typical working day. So here they are: This post was created in response to… Read more

  • Flying bird, now?

    Last week and really wanted to take a picture of a flying bird for the free spirit photo challenge. But I either did not have a camera at hand when I saw one, or I did not see one when I had the camera. Today I went to a mall that has nice woven lanterns… Read more
