Challenge # 22 SOOC


Although this challenge sounds so easy I really had a hard time with this one! The weather was beautiful yestureday so the perfect time for a walk with the family and for me to bring my camera to hunt for the right picture for this challenge! The had this was to get the ligting just right right way! Not to happy with my results but here they are!

At the farm close by is a place where there jumpers can land. As soon as we have good weather you can see them come down throughout the day. Because yesturday was sunday a lot of them came down. So I wasn't just lucky being at the right place at the right time. But it is always a great sight to see them land. Ofcours I couldn't leave the farm with out taking a picture of a cow :)

In this picture I liked the cold blue sign against the warm green grass.

Photo Challenge#21 Zen



Hi guys, if you are wondering if I got stuck in the colors of nature challenge, you might be right a little :) But not entirely. For me Zen photographs have a sense of calm and peace in it! That's the reason I chose to make these two photo's. In my first entry I love how the light hits the leave with the frozen waterdrops on it! ( which you can see really good when you click on the photo )

My second entry was made in the small harbour at our lake. The lines on the water is made by a sailboat!

Photo Challenge # 20 colors of nature


This is the first time that I have my pictures for the Photo challenge this fast. But I was working around the house cutting the trees when this leave was suddendly staring at me and I saw this beautiful old brown color with the other yellow green leaves behind it. Simply irrisistable, so I ran inside to get my camera and here is the result :) ( ps: without photo editing )
O.K. it is now one day after I made the first pictures but the sun is out today and I am seeing so many beautiful colors around be that I had to make some more picture.

This picture of the red leaves is from my neighbors tree. Every autumn is gets this amazing deep red color and it looks like it's on fire.
For this last picture I put the camera almost on the ground to get the effect of a sea of leaves.

Photo Challenge # 19 Art of partraiture


The winter is on it's way over here and I went to a restaurant last friday that was in the middle of lots of snow. So I am very happy when we have a few warmer sunny days so that the kids can have some fun outside without all the winter gear on. Last week we had a few of those days and this picture was taken when my ds was checking if I was still in the kitchen :) He is such a cutie. B.t.w. I had cleaned those windows only a few days before , but with my two kids it doesn't take long untill every window at kids hight has dirt on it :) But I am probably not the only one with that small problem, I hope!
