today was the day when NE handed in his thesis - congratulations NE ! i hope we will have a big celebration soon!

it has definately become colder the past week or so and i rather like it. a couple of days ago i recieved a pair of beautiful wrist worms made by sandra. found them in her shop and couldn’t resist the yellow color. can’t wait for it to get even colder so i can wear them!

sorry for the weird hand photo…found out that it is hard photographing one hand while holding your camera/50 mm in the other hand so i experimented with the self-timer….now i’m going to go to bed early again - i’ll answer all your kind comments as soon as possible.

it’s saturday morning and i’m looking so much forward to a couple of days off. i’m also looking forward to catch up on my blog reading and writing. this photo is also from last sunday. the sign says “no fishing or bathing!” have a great saturday dear blog readers!

- paula: thanks paula! i like that one of the bird as well. the sky had a very strange dark grey color and at the same time the sun was shining.
- jonna: hej jonna! yep they are very bright those eyes
- sekimachihato: hello sekimachihato! thanks for your comment. dogs can be hard to photograph as you say, but being outside helps a lot. you have a canonet as well?
- anna: thanks anna, it was a great walk indeed.
- alice: the light was very strange that day - being both clouded and sunny at the same time, which resulted in a very surreal light.
- kristina: you are right, i have shown pictures of this dog in a previous post. i have been so tired at night but it’s already much better.
- kristina: thank you kristina! i agree there’s something nice about overexposed pictures
- anairam: thanks, i like to concentrate on one colors as well, as you say it makes you notice things in another way.

more from sunday’s walk. thanks for all your comments on my last post! happy to know you like the photos!

note: if my friend had a blog the last photo could be her bench monday photo : )

pictures from a sunday walk with my friend stine and her sweet dog. the light was incredibly sharp this day which meant that more or less half of my photos came out overexposed and the other half underexposed. but the rest looked so sharp! i’ll show you more tomorrow.

it’s nine o’clock and i’m heading for my bed. i hope to get back into my “reply” routine soon.

hi again! thanks for your comments on my previous “red” post : ) i have been busy this past week and this weekend has proved rather busy as well. hope i will get back to my usual posting mode by monday - see you soon and have a great sunday!

couldn’t come up with a proper post title today so i ended up with # # # #. i haven’t been taking that many photos the past few days - as i have been strapped for time. saw a giant “R” poster glued onto the window of a closed shop (what you can see a section of in the first and last photo). the second is of a little vintage thermos i bought some years ago because it was the cutest thermos i had seen to date. don’t use it much but love to look at it.

note: i didn’t notice it when i took the photo but it looks like something is written inside the “R”

- máni: me too - love garlic, and as you say, fresh garlic rubbed on roasted bread is very tasty!
- maria: yeah you should get some if you can - home grown are the best
- anairam: yep. that’s what garlic looks like in the store here as well - all white.
- nathalie: : )
- emilia: tak! ja, det er et skønt sted - også selv om man skal arbejde, men selvfølgelig lidt mindre afslappende : )
- anna: no, you are right! and they were tasty indeed.
- dakota: thank you. mmmm middle eastern food sounds delicious!
- ida: thanks ida
- kinako: thanks! and yes those mushrooms were porcini mushrooms. i spent a relaxing long weekend at my parents place and tried to get as much nature and ripe fruits as i possibly could : )
- alexandra hedberg: yeah they do actually look kind of roasted - and they tasted great!
- ulrika: thank you!

this is what garlic should look like! NE got these home grown cloves of garlic from his father’s and stepmother’s garden. aren’t they beautiful? i almost wanted to spare them when we were cooking tonight but then that would be a shame as well.

- cissi: spending sunday on the couch was so nice, i must admit. i’m very happy to be working at louisiana for a while - such a great place!
- gracia: thank you. fun to know that you have also been there!
- chelsea and rynke: thanks chelsea and rynke! i’m mainly going to be working in their educational department with web editing and communications. hope to be posting some photos from the museum soon.
- anna: thank you anna! it’s my regular canon eos 400d.
- katrine: jep : ) den var meget rar! som nævnt, regner jeg med at få taget nogle billeder deroppe.
- dakota: hi dakota! you are welcome : ) sounds like we have the same camera.
- nathalie: lazy sundays are the best and even better when you know that there’s exiting things ahead.

nothing much going on today. i had the intention to talk a walk in the nearby nature area called amager fælled but so far i’m still in my pyjamas on the couch and it seems unlikely that i’ll get anywhere. from tomorrow and four weeks ahead i’m going to do some project work at louisiana museum of modern art - i’m looking forward!

hope you are having a nice and relaxing sunday

- rynke: thanks! cool that you also have a bag from your grandmother! i’m curious about those (pre-euro) money - dutch guilder coins?
- fanny: thank you fanny : )
- lorenza: wow sounds like a great trip! i have only been shortly to hamburg but would like to visit it properly. interesting to hear about your biking experiences - i will need som pratice before hand i think as well : ). would love to see that tablecloth of yours - sounds beautiful.
- nicki: hello nicki! thanks for visiting, glad you like the new blog design. it felt good to finally get it done. really like what you have done with yours - the red colors and the graphic bird looks great!
- ida: tak ida, og øv at den hank er for kort - måske kan man sætte en ny på? men er selvfølgelig ret tidskrævende og kræver alt muligt værktøj…

while i was at my parents place i began a small repairing project that i have been meaning to do for some time. i’ve got a leather bag that used to belong to my grandmother. it is really dear to me and this weekend i finally got around to repairing it - reinforcing the stitchings and treating it with leather conditioner - i hope that it will now last for many more years! have you tried working with leather? i was surprised to find out that i really liked it.

- nathalie: hehe, it’s has become a bit of a tablecloth obsession : )
- rynke: yeah it was a great vacation!
- sigga: tak søde sigga : )
- thereza: it is a very sweet cat - it “talks” alot and i always feel like i have to respond in some way - you know not making it give up on trying to communicate - really silly!
- lorenza: thanks lorenza, glad you like the theme and i like exactly that about them as well - everything looks nicer with a tablecloth underneath! well almost everything. it is the 50mm i’m using. i like the depth of field as well allthough sometimes it’s almost too much - as if it doesn’t focus properly…but usually it helps when i set it on a higer iso. i lived in london for about 8 months, so not that long, but i really liked the city! actually i haven’t been to the north of england but hope to at some point! love that northern accent : )
- Ulrika: yep, more tablecloths and one cat - wish i had more cats to show in general!
- ida: thanks!
- gracia: thanks gracia! it is the sweetest cat i know. it’s doesn’t like to be cuddled but it follows its “people” everywhere and likes to “talk”. nothing beats ripe plums! if possible i would send you some to bring a hint of summer to those wintry eves : )
- kristina: thank you kristina. and it really is hard to choose a new camera! i hope you find one you like!
- katrine: ja! lyder vildt med killingen - den opfører sig jo i sandhed som en hund. : )
- hanna: thank you, glad you like the photos
- alexandria: thanks a lot! as i described in some of the other replies it behaves like a dog because it always follows my parents around outside and inside the house and it uses its voice a lot - which i find really cute.
- trine søhest: hej trine! de blommer er så gode! ked af at høre at jeres træ er bukket under - i må plante et nyt!

came home from my mini vacation late last night. time to stop thinking about berries and mushrooms and get working. i took the photo of the blackcurrant berries mostly because i really like this tablecloth which belongs to my parents. what is it with me and tablecloths? anyway the other one is of their adorable cat who behaves more like a dog than a cat.

- lotte: er du haveløs pt? jeg vil så gerne have en have (hehe) - ta på svampejagt hvis du får muligheden! jeg kan heller ikke kende så mange…men nok godt at holde sig fra rød fluesvamp : / jeg kender desværre ikke nogle svampesteder i nærheden af kbh
- outi: yes, i love this season as well! such a good feeling to find your own food
- nathalie: mmm that plum jam of yours sounds delicious!
- ai: yeah you are right they are pretty small. karl johan was a swedish king who apparently liked these mushrooms a lot : )
- anna: hehe, yes you need to find someone with a tree : )
- epe: thanks!
- kristina: thank you kristina, they do look like small easter eggs ; ) i read your post about your thought about getting a good digital slr and i didn’t know whether i should recommend the one i have…it the most basic canon slr you can get so not the best camera - but i have been happy with it so far, knowing that i didn’t pay that much from it. have never tried on manual lenses though - it’s a hard one…i’m give it some more thought!
- kristina and ulrika: thanks you girls!
- julochka: i will definately try and go to buresø at some point, thanks for the tip!
