Henrik

"Who's going to play in my room?"
This is usually the first thing Henrik says after finishing a meal. You're in double trouble if you say no, but who wants to be inside when the sun is shining (for once) and there are a hundred other things which need to be done?

Mist

A misty view in Bringåsen, Jämtland. Oh, and that's hail on the ground not snow.

Sunshine

Rhiannon made the most of last weekend's sunshine by tanning her foot while snoozing.

The Running of the Ants

Try panning your camera on one of the more erratic little creatures around. Run 5cm stop, change direction, stop, run back 5cm, repeat...
Besides being under attack by their little buddies running up my legs and looking like an idiot to neighbours who happened to see me, it was a lot of fun too!

Calypso

A temptress in Homers story of Ulysses, the name of Jacques Cousteau's ship and also the name of a very rare orchid which grows in Brynje, a neighbouring village to ours. I first heard about it almost three years ago. Last year I went looking for it but I was too late since it had already finished blooming. Finally this year with the help of Vivi-Ann our local flower expert, I managed to photograph it.

Action

Some bath time action with Rhiannon

Not a Dead Cat

I caught Tasse doing his "Dead Cat" impression. A trick to lure unsuspecting mice to come closer?

The Weekend

A difficult weekend. Henrik has had a fever since Friday and even though we filled his young body full of Paracetamol and Ibuprofen, it only managed to take the edge off it, still leaving him hot and miserable. The turnaround came today after a visit to the hospital and the start of an antibiotic cure. He suddenly became himself again. He became the happy little boy we know him to be and Rhiannons loving big brother.

Red hot with fever


Don't want to play today


Still in pyjamas but more himself again

Rhiannon

There was a spontaneous photosession with Rhiannon today when she tried out her new outfit. I think she looks a bit like a cross between a fairy and a bumble bee.

Happy Girls

My two favourite girls!

Flowers

Does anyone know the name of this flower? Please leave a comment if you do. All I know is that it grows from a bulb in spring.

Can you "see" the soundeffects of the paper plane taking off?

Macro

Lately I've enjoyed using with my macro lens because it opens up all sorts of possibilities since there are literally thousands of subjects all around you almost wherever you are. That's a dream come true when you are a father of two with a full time job! All you need to do is lie down in the grass with a macro lens to discover a whole new world right around your feet.
