Midsummer

Captures from Finland, Flowers, Photography

This weekend we are celebrating midsummer, it is one of the main celebration of the year here in Nordic countries. The nightless night.

Happy midsummer to you all with this

Moomintroll’s Midsummer Poem

But I lie upon the meadow to rest my legs awhile
I stop my musings right away to feel the sunlight shine
Let others do the thinking, they’re wiser anyway
on such a warm and friendly, and sleepy summer day
When all is blue and smells of dew
and you are free for troll-like deeds
or what you will – but choose to be
just lying still.

I am a troll like you, who thinks
the world is a home for me,
right now.

Black and White photos, Flowers

I have a soft spot for black and white photography, I was once again reminded about the importance of exposure, light. It is the key element in these photos.

Roses, they look lovely in black and white

The way that light hits objects, I think, is one of the more important things that sculpture and photography share. – Rashid Johnson

August

Flowers, Photography

this has been a different summer not only has it been hot, with hardly any rain. The flowers all bloomed early the nature turned brownish. These are bigger observations. Personally this summer has been challenging, I was five weeks on a sick leave due to a split tendon and a ripped tendon, walking on crutches due to that now for eight weeks making it very hard to take photos unless I am sitting or have my cameraman handy by my side. I am trying to get back to the groove again.

Welcome August…Daisy is one of my favorite flowers, they represent summer to me and as a summer bride 30 years ago I even had them in my bouquet

A Word A Week Photograph Challenge – Yellow

Uncategorized

Yellow color is hard to photograph – and I think, that only photos I have of yellow are flowers. .Hopefully you found these pleasing to the eye. They are at least a blast of sunlight here in the constant grayness we are having here in the northern hemisphere. Flower…to brighten your day. I did find something else too, a beautiful jacket…in golden yellow.
