Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Week 5 Photo – Music, guitar, instrument, men, coffee, etc.
All men…
…and good at what they are doing! Irish in the header, in Madrid I admired the glass player sitting in a street market, and…
…happy guys playing cards in the streets of Beijing.
All candid shots.
…that we brought home the coolness from Lofoten…and…
– now we rejoice in the fresh air after this summer’s sauna heat!
Wishing you all a delightful week – greetings from 20 degrees C, Skåne, Sweden.
Everyday moments – maybe it is easy to forget how important they are, because (I) we seldom succeed in living as mindful as we should… Thank you, Amy, for the opportunity of highlighting some of those precious moments.
Everyday I have to care for my best friends, Totti and Milo. Following their lives is a gift.
Even if I see to their daily needs, sometimes a professional grooming is necessary – especially if you want to win next competition!
Not yet….are they best friends, but it is coming. Milo is slowly learning what he can do… or not…Totti has an angel’s patience – he is really too kind and considerate for his own good.
So, I try to walk Totti alone, just him and me, once a day. Picking berries, finding wild animals – and apple trees – in the forest and meadows.
Some days we go to our summer house, or just to the sea, to relax, and only – exist…
…which is so important…Life is short – someone will soon grow out of those sandals.
Taking a boat to one of the small islands in the archipelago is always a treat.
Driving home to our ordinary house again, the farmers are usually busy in the fields, but this year there is not much left to harvest. The drought has taken its toll.
Every month – not every day – we usually visit some interesting exhibitions. It could be about almost anything. Here a fashion and theater theme by designer Camilla Thulin.
This summer there was no rain – but all the other summers there usually are everyday moments with umbrellas!
During summer, spring or autumn – or all of them – we sometimes get a bit tired of everyday life, and decide to hop on the train/ferry to our neighbor country, Denmark.
Somehow I love train stations…
…and ferries. Some guys are very, very tired of the everyday thing…but there is always room for a ferry feet stretching!
Strolling the streets of Copenhagen is always a treat. To us, Denmark means good food, fantastic exhibitions, lovely people and yellow houses with cosy corners!

An early dog walk…in Autumn fogs, cool and soft.
There are occasional glimpses of sun – I brought my little point and shoot camera only…
It is difficult to walk two dogs and try to shoot with a heavy camera.
Resting after breakfast – Totti and Milo both love our summer house.
Mornings are the best time to enjoy the stillness – no summer guests anymore. Paths are empty, and the fields belong to geese and horses only. Milo found that dwarfed opening gate in the hedge…I always wonder who once lived there – given that Milo is about 30 cm high now…
Forest walk in the evening – some birds chirping low and softly muted. There is no wind so the flies are on the hunt.
This area, Lindö, is a nature reserve, so you have to be kind to those flies and mosquitoes as well…
Have you ever had a puppy? Sometimes my toes wish they hadn’t…
I know Milo is a good guy, and that Totti is slowly adjusting. But I can read Totti’s thoughts by the look of his eyes – just when is that ”thing” going home again...
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Week 4 Photo – black and white, mirror, air plane, power lines, etc.
Some years ago I remember walking into a hotel – where I never got any longer than to the lobby…because of all the mirrors and chandeliers. Here it is again!
We had one single rainy day in Norway, and decided to spend it in the Blue City – Sortland. The artist Bjørn Elvenes started a millenium project to paint the city blue…
Famous blue cities are Chefchauen in Morocco and Jodhpur in India.
…but how the story ended is still not clear. However, the overall impression is –
that he at least succeeded in large parts of Sortland. Many shades of blue greeted us now that the skies did not show any signs of this colour…
The city is small, but has today got about 10 400 inhabitants.
We enjoyed the one hour walk, even if we had to pop into some shops and the library to avoid the heaviest showers…
A rainy day well spent!
