Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Two Colours or Hues Only

From Cee came a two colours or hues – challenge. I found two giraffes…no idea where or when they were photographed, but I guess they fit in!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Sepia tones

Some photos are enhanced in sepia tones – this scene from a street in Tibet shows a couple looking at a variety of bells for their cattle.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: The Color White

Cee’s challenge is to find the colour White. Click for more entries!

I have chosen three different whites – A ceiling in the beautiful home of a friend of mine, a delicate flower from the Pyreneés and a lovely horse from Jämtland ( photo taken this weekend).

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: The Color Orange

 

Orange is beautiful and oranges are tasty. My choices for this challenge are some of my favourite oranges…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Large Subjects

This ”eye” in the clouds opened up somewhere over Europe on our flight to Spain. For more of Large Subjects – click here.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Small Subjects

These are silk worm cocoons made into little owls. Small subjects. A present from my children bought on their trip to Japan. They always give me owl – things, knowing I love owls. Somehow it was difficult to photograph them, not only because they are about the size of a bumble bee.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Walk 100 steps or less and take new photos

This I have never tried before – taking photos almost where I stand right now. 100 steps, I think this  little tour was about… 40? But, tonight there is a blizzard and I hear it roaring. When I had walked the dogs, about 6 pm, I’d had enough and stayed inside. So, indoor photos then – and only a quick look outdoors …

Tiger lily standing proudly in my window. It’s always in flower this time of the year.

It’s getting dark, so I turn on the lights in my other rooms. But, the days have grown longer and light is still lingering when I’m back from work.

Now I’m going to open the door to our garden – the wind should be hiding behind the house today if my calculations are right…

No walking on the roof today though… Last time we lit the fire for a cosy evening, the smoke sneaked in instead of out. The ladder was left there just in case…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Found in Nature

On my walks I often find things in Nature that have been put there by man, but still look like they really belong there.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Found in Nature gives an opportunity to share some of them …

This open space in the forest is most certainly well travelled by many animals. The tower is for the moose hunters.

Following a narrow path, I came upon the old cellar that is all that’s left from ”Anna’s Cottage”. She lived here until about 1930.

Not ”Anna”, but another mum found in the same forest…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Man-Made-Items

Well, in this world of gadgets and trinkets and whatever they are called  – but man made they all are and we are fascinated…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Preoccupied

Upptagen…Ingen blir så fullständigt absorberad av något som Mille – och detta Något är främst vatten – vatten OCH snö innebar storslam för honom i helgen. Äntligen snö! Vi lämnade av sonen i Skövde där han studerar, och till vår stora glädje snöade det hela tiden. Vilka fina dagar för oss alla i familjen! Milles gener (gammal vattenhund från Romagna) tog fullständigt över…

Preoccupied...no one beats Mille when he finds some water AND snow! Being an old water dog from Romagna, he has not forgotten his origin…He’s ”fishing” with his paws and dips his beard and mouth into the water to catch bubbles – or whatever he sees in there.  This weekend we finally got some snow and both dogs and the whole family celebrated outdoors with long walks and great joy!
