Searched around some old photos and found this gem from 10. Sept 2006. So cute!

I had such good plans about blogging regularly this time. Even when I went back to work after the vacation. But it’s really hard sometimes to find time, especially when I also want to do some scrapbooking So this past week / weekend I’ve been scrapping my heart out – and it’s been great! But on this last night of August 2010 I just wanted to make a little post. Just to say hay, just to tell I’m still here living my life both online and inline..

We are getting back into the everyday life, both kiddo and I. Starting to get used to the early mornings and the scheduling to make sure we manage to do it all… So far it’s been good, even though it’s been a challenge to remember everything some days.

I think I’m ready for September now. It’s fall around here anyway. The nights are starting to get darker and the weather is getting colder. I’m not sure I like it. But I will embrace it and enjoy the colors.

Tomorrow I’ll bring my camera along in the car. I might run into something beautiful that needs my attention and snapping.

I don’t think I’ve mention this before, but MT have started reading books. Not only cartoons, but real books. Books written for children, off course, but anyway books. Last week I was a bit late coming up to sing for him at bedtime, so he found a book I bought him this summer and started reading in it (I’ve been trying all summer to get him interested, lol..). When I finally got up he asked if he please could read a little bit more after I said good night. It’s so exciting, he told me. I was excited too, I spent my childhood borrowed in books and I love reading! So I told him, yes, you might read two more pages – and then you have to sleep. Yay! I’m so proud of him and LOVE the way they are teaching the love of reading at school!

O.k. so this has been a totally random post, so I might as well add a photo from a previous august day (26th 2005). Originally I had some  plan of a “5 years ago post”, but I never got around to it. It’s the same this year anyway; time to harvest at the farm – if only the rain could stop! The oats are beautiful at close op

See you around!

Needed something new to look at today, so I made a heading I’ll probably change it soon to something with less images, but just now it fills it’s purpose. Let me know if it looks strange on your part.

Happy Fall Season!

God certainly went out of his way to make our world beautiful!!

It’s starting to get really colorful outside.

Fall is all around us – and in a few days we’ll have another few nights of frosty grades; if the forecast is right that is…

I love all the colors and the other day I did some leaf holding business to catch a few leaf shots even though the moving and packing keep me busy elsewhere…

Just wanted to share before I head for bed; today has been a day of rest – tomorrow I’m going to pack a few more boxes and later on we’ll heading to our new home to do some unpacking there…..

Another 2 weeks to go before MT starts a new school and I’ll start ministering a new congregation. We both look forward to this, even though moving is tiering and long….

Photos from yesterday. It was a mighty nice and beautiful day of rest and quiet. I even took my bike out of the garage and brought MT home from school on it.

He was so happy (he love riding on the bike with me – and it’s almost all downhill from his school so it’s easy for me as well) – and I got some fresh air and a bit exercise as well.

When we got back home I brought my camera and went down to the mailbox on foot to capture some fall shoots. MT joined me riding his bike. Nice

We’ve had so few sunny day this summer (we’ve had some, but according to me: not enough!) – so this sunny September is highly appreciated!!

There is something fresh and crisp with fall sunny days. And it’s easy to catch a cold too, because the weather really isn’t that warm(!) In the morning it’s been only 4-5 degrees above zero (Centigrade). And that is cold enough to wear a thick jacket if you ask me (and not MT). Hoping it’s stays above zero for a few more week… although I long too shoot macros of  the deep orange and red leafs too (and usually we need some nights with frost to get those colors in the leafs).

I’ll miss summer – I really love that season and the ease of life; but now I’m ready to embrace fall season – hoping for more sun than rain, though

I should really do a recap of the last months (or years?), but I’ll hold that for a day when it’s not this late…. I’ve been a really bad blogger the last years, but I can’t even imagine giving up this blog even though not many comes here to read any more. I write for me. Mostly. And then off course I really would like to share a few thoughts and photos with you too. Today I renewed my oldest domain, I don’t know what to do with it right now. Still, can’t part with it either. I plan to make a plan for it one of these days….

I’ve spent a lot of time behind the camera this year and I LOVE it. I love edit the photos and presenting them in a way that do the story behind them justice. I wish I could do a lot more with them, but I’m so glad for whatever I get around to make for a scrapbook page or for an album or something. I’ve been using PSE (photoshop elements) for a year and it makes my photos sparkle. LOL. I can’t imagine doing scrapbooks without, but for a while now I’ve been wanting to try out Lightroom as well. And tonight I downloaded it and started to mess around with it a little. I love the presets, but I also see that I need to figure out a whole lot more about how the program works before I can use it for what it’s made for I have it only as a trial for the next 30 days. I guess I won’t buy it after that, but I wanted to figure out why so many photographers use it for their photo editing. So I guess you won’t see me blogging much more in the next month… ehe.

Anyhow, we had a wonderful walk in the woods. The photo above is from today, only with an added aged effect in Lightroom. Okay. See you around!!
