Throwback Thursday

FB has this going around at the moment, so I thought I’d share few here too. The quality isn’t all that great…but memories are.The first two are old family photos, one with my dad and sisters and one with my mom. Ten there is the happy flower girls…and the last shot is from soccer’s world cup 1982 – Brazil was playing…as to celebrate the ones that started yesterday with a Brazil win

A Photo a Week Challenge: Summer Memories

odd-57

This is the path to our summer-house for the past 19 years. One of the best moments every sunny day is breakfast and coffee outside on the patio. I see this view, watch the light play through the trees,watch the shadows move, listening to the birds, nature, When the kids were young, the silence, no fights coffee before they woke up …best moment of the day.

Monochrome Madness 16 – Details of a field sawmill

RS 2014-06-09 fieldsaw  bw-3

This is my week 15 submission to the  Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky.

I saw this field sawmill beside a country road, as we were searching for old lumber, as always, I had to take photos. My first thought was that these would look  good in black and white. Do you agree?

One Word Photo Challenge: Eggplant

Eggplant as a color, I actually like, but do I have pictures that have that color. I had to do a whole lot of search in my archives. Hopefully one of these will pass as it.

Oddly enough, I was trying to catch the power of  rain we had this is what I was able to capture… still need to learn more on how to catch the moving water. It does not fit to any category, so lets call it ODD shot

Here are some fancier rooms and country chic, both in blue color scheme. I think I prefer …country to live in.

Wild lupines

I had to stop the car as driving through the countryside, the side of the road was blooming with wild lupines and other wild flowers. The field next to them was so green. The nature is sure at its best at this time of the year.
