SL – WEEK 9: School

Introduktion to a new school involves playing and games to get to know each other and to learn how to trust each other. This photo is from the first day at our school, last year, last autumn 2014.

Photo book on The Garden of My Dreams

This summer I had the opportunity of visiting and taking photos in the most beautiful garden – the garden of my dreams. The owners, Kerstin and Kjell-Arne, have travelled the world to collect many rare species, and are always working hard on their dream.

I cannot say how much I appreciate being given this opportunity – and all the chats about the forest and its inhabitants whenever we see each other. Be it hiking or a short visit in their garden.

This year, their work was more abundantly rewarded than ever. So they said, and I believe them. They know everything about plants and different species and Kjell-Arne is also an ornithologist with many years’ experience.You who follow my blog might also remember him as – ”the little man”/”den lille mannen”.

Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge: Flowers

Flowers for Cee this week – she can make anything look beautiful…even in B&W. For me flowers excel in colour and beauty – so this is a different take with two entries.

Why don’t join in and try yourself? See more of this here.

WPC: Creepy

The creepiness for me is related to how real the face looks…until you see it from behind. The rain did it…made it look real.
