I am going to continue with macro shots, hope you enjoy the colorful bubbles.
Hi all,
it is nearly new year and I decided to make a bold move. I changed my theme here on WP – what do you think? My aim was to lessen the clutter and give the spotlight on my photos.
As you know I am not a writer, I don’t have that much to say at least I do not think that too many would be interested in my rambling style of writing. My writing reflects the clutter in my mind, hopping and popping from one thought to an other. So to get a something other than a mind flow kind of text from me here is a challenge. I reserve that to my work. This is for my photos, the way I see the world through my lens.
As a hint of the coming month – I am once again picking a theme. I will be visiting friends in Florida in January, so my photos will be filled with sunshine and sights. I am posting some photos from my previous trip to begin with and when I get there, my uploads will all from my mobile as I an not going to carry my laptop with me – you know I will be on holiday.
Nearly done with this month! YES! Drove to work and it was dark. Came home it was dark. I did go to a training for work and on the way there visited an art gallery. Not too bad for a slush filled day.
I love these crooked pine trees that the wind and weather has shaped.
Hi, just in case if someone misses my photos or notices that I am absent from the blogging world. I will be visiting Lapland and the Arctic Circle until Saturday evening, work can be fun.. So most likely you will see lots more photos of snow in days coming, maybe a rain deer or two…huskies.
See you at the end of the week. These photos are near my house in Southern Finland and all can be enlarged by a click 🙂
This is my next (the first photo) entry to the Monochrome Madness Challenge (MM) hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky so happy to be able to be part of this talented group!. I have not done a black and white entry of a flower for them for this week( 25), so here is Succisa pratensis, Devil’s-bit or Devil’s-bit Scabious ,…. I think it looks good in monochrome.

This is my submission to week 24 to the Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky. I like the expression caught by the camera, my son had just woken up and was in no mood to be photographed. I think it is captured in this shot. I like that is not a posed shot.

I chose these photos because I liked the looks of these books as they are, old hardcover books are so beutifully binded.They are also well read and that is the so important in a book… I thought they would look good also in BW. Hope you agree.

“Twist” is filthy with meaning: it’s the unexpected, it’s surprise, it’s even an amazing ice cream choice. What does “twist” mean to you?
The first tree are twisted…others are suprises and in an other post

“Art” isn’t just paintings and sculptures, it can be anything in which we find beauty and meaning — even food. Show us a thing, place, or person that’s a work of art to you.
Art is in the eyes of the beholder, flowers, nature are art in its self. Churches are full of art, in an outside. Landmarks, statues, paintings, everyday cutlery can be art. Jewels….
Here are few I have captured

I am going to raise my own tail, here are photos of some of my own “ART” work. Oil paintings, sculpture, digital art. Word is free, let me know what you think 🙂 I’ll have to do an other post with a different take on the topic .

I usually do not take photos of food – few times I’ve tried – here is one of my attempts to do so.
What do you think?
I took photos of this old wooden barn – I have not taken one single shot of the whole building, but the parts that are about to be destroyed by time.
I do not once again know if this a different point of view… of what. But it is beautiful in its ugliness.
Bandon-by-the-sea is a small, charming coastal town with the most lovely beach. Here are some of my photos from there.

I’m participating in LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s Challenge is: Birds of a Feather!
These first tree are Pikkukäpylintu -(finnish name) photos were taken last fall. The yellow one is a female
The other three photos were taken in Sri Lanka – and if I knew my birds – I would tell you their name.
The sun was already going down and it was around 2 pm, in the first photos, and 4 pm in the last 4 photos.
The idea was to photograph water – I was trying to find new way of seeing it –
so I took photos of puddles, sea ripples, these are few of the photos I took…
