Sunday in the forest

oh boy, I just realized that my last post is from beginning of October. makes me feel bad, because the idea of this blog was to use it as a kind of diary. I DO take photos almost every day.... but then usually dont't find the time to edit them or if I do I only edit the one picture a day I use for flickr. Hopefully I will get better with this in the following months.


today I've been in the forest for a long walk. it was crispy cold yet so incredibly beautiful, sunny and all. such amazing weather for the month of November (November...can you imagine???)
the light was gorgeous and filtered by the trees there were such stunning flares so I couldn't resist to pose the dog for a couple of pics (oh well, in fact I took tons of pictures...)


leaving you with a few impressions. have a lovely Sunday evening everyone.

a foggy beach and dogs

sometimes it happens that you're lucky enough to capture such mysterious light on such a wonderful place. of course it helps to be up early. these images were taken last weekend at a beach in denmark, right when the sun came out and the morningly mist disappeard.

a morning by the lake

Oh well, I know I've kinda neglected my blog lately (as well as the Nikon). But this morning was simply too perfect to not be captured.  I arrived at the lake (who's actually just next to our property at work) exactly the moment the sun rised up. There was still a bit of mist left and the water was as quiet and reflective as a mirror (until the dog jumped in:-)
It was a moment to hold in and breathe, pure and calm and I couldn't have asked for a better way to start the day.
My shoes were completely soaked from the wet grass when I finally arrived at work but a cup of hot coffee warmed up my body and the lakeside impressions I had in head warmed up my soul.

just...la grande Meryl

She's the best. I love her!

Meryl Streep. I don't know who took this pic of her.

Happy Weekend!

good bye summer

September Morning

I love autumn!
Those crisp dewey mornings, the sunshine, the mist and most off all the glorious colors. Well, for now the leaves are still green but in only a few week we will be surrounded by the most beautiful shades of yellow, orange and red. Can't wait!!
For now I invite you to join Cisco and me on a September morning walk.. 

Stockholm IV

amazing Baltic sunrise

Stockholm III

Day II
An overcast day. We booked a tour on one of the sightseeing boats to learn a bit more about the city. 

In the afternoon we left Stockholm for Helsinki on board of Silija Line's "Symphony".

A little welcome drink at "New York" Lounge.

Oh that glorious sunset.

Stockholm I

Day I

We arrived at Stockholm in the late afternoon and went directly to our hotel at Östermalm, where we checked in and had a quick dinner. Right afteron we jumped back in our little rental car and drove down to Gambla stan, the old town of Stockholm. And boy, was it beautiful there. Cute little cobblestoned streets with lovely shops and tiny restaurants, old and impressive buildings and hidden places. We had a blast wandering around there and watch those beautifully decorated window displays.

have a peek into my dining room... 
well, in fact we never use this room. we always prefer to dine in the kitchen. maybe I should transform it into something else, like.....for instance....a little photo studio? :-) heheh...

not fair

This week started with quite a shock. To hear that Ella passed away, my dear flickr friend Elizabeth's beautiful four and a half years old Golden Retriever, was like getting a punch right into the belly. How can one be prepared to lose such a young dog?  
My heart breaks for Elizabeth who will never get the chance to see her girl getting older, become wise and white. It breaks because of all those stolen years. It breaks because I know how much she suffers. 
It is not fair. It is so not fair !!!

I fell in love with Ella from first sight. She was the most beautiful golden girl I've ever seen and I always hoped (and still hope) that when I ever have another golden and it's going to be a girl, she will be like Ella. So bright and full of energy with such a sweet fine face and lovely character.
I take it hard, I know. She was not my dog and I haven't even met her in real life. But I loved her. I loved her from Elizabeth's beautiful photos and stories she was so kind to share with us.  And Ella is (and always will be) Cisco's laaady...don't forget about that. I just wished that romance would have had a happy end.
It is just not fair!

baking

when back from Berlin we thought it would be nice to bake a cake for the weekend...well finally we have baked three cakes with plums and mirabelle plums.
