NE and i are visiting my parents on the mainland. feels great to be in more rural surroundings and enjoy some fresh air and a bit of sun. i brought my analogue contax camera but forgot film - would have loved to take a roll or two. hope your weekend will be great!

note: not many leaves left on the trees

epe: thanks epe : )
- katrine ny: tak katrine - det var en god morgenmad
- paula: like you NE can not eat very much in the morning - i guess it’s very individual how much people need to eat at this time of the day. your small breakfast sounds nice though - and yeah i think brunch would be perfect for you : )

- sekimachihato: yeah, it looks like it was freezing in the photos. it wasn’t that bad though but the white seeds made it look frosty.

- parisa: happy to know you like the drawing!
- allison: hey allison. don’t know what type of plants they are - i photographed them during the summer as well, when they looked like this
- ulrika: tak ulrika

- young: tak young! ja, der var lige en halv times sol : )

good morning, good morning! it has been a particularly nice wednesday morning today, having breakfast with NE and his sister brinja. breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day and extended breakfasts - even better!

thanks for all your comments to my previous post. as a lot of you remarked it looked really cold and frosty that day, but actually it was just the white seeds of the plants that made it look all wintery. i’ll answer comments later today - now i need to get some work done.

finally - the internet connection came back yesterday. these photos are taken this friday on a walk with my friend anna in the nearby park. we enjoyed the last pale bit of afternoon sun and the autumny landscape.

time to catch up on some blog reading - happy sunday!

have a great friday everybody! the sun is shining in copenhagen today, for the first time in many many days.

been working som more on the three birds on a branch drawing that looked like this before.

- peggy: yeah, sundays are great - at least when you have time to do whatever you feel like.

sunday is probably my favorite day of the week…okay saturdays are also great but for different reasons. sundays are quiet and relaxing and timeless in a way. i can drink coffee, listen to music, read and draw for hours and hours without looking at the clock.

hope you’re all having a great sunday!

paula, ida, ai, ulrika & rynke: thank you for your sweet comments! it really is amazing how alive these birds look in the photos. fun to hear from all of you that you initially thought they were living birds!
atlantic treefox: thanks! i like that aspect as well, that they get to live a little more through the photos
a.: i looked the birds in the last photo up and believe they are bramblings…but not entirely sure - didn’t look at the information board at the museum : )
michelle: hello michelle! thanks for your comments, glad to know you liked the set!
sandra: thank you sandra, i prefer them alive as well. the animals in this post all look a bit sad…or maybe it is just the work of my imagination

the secret lives of stuffed animals! i have been to the zoological museum here in copenhagen today. as the weather is still grey and dull, a trip to the museum seemed like the perfect thing to do. i’ve always been fascinated by animals and the diversity in species that exists. i do prefer looking at living animals but there’s also a charm to the stuffed ones and the way they are displayed in zoological museums. it’s a strange transformation these stuffed animals undergo - in the museum they look stiff and dead but then captured in a photo they get a sense of presence about them.

i’ll show you more photos from the museum tomorrow.

inspired by photos i saw on atlantic treefox’s photostream

- ne: præcis : )
- sekimachihato: there was no arcades where i lived, so i have only played the pc ones : )
- allison: thanks, fun to know that you also liked this game! i’m sure i used to dream about being in this mysterious game world.
- hanna: yep, complete computer nostalgia! i had totally forgotten about the flipper game - i played that one as well.

space invaders is the first video game i can recall playing. my father bought a pc when i was about 6 and my brother and i would play games like commander keen, pong, sim city and doom on it. there was no interface at that time so you would have to write a command similar to the one in this post title to access the game. . later on there was particularly one game that really fascinated me called myst. it’s a very beautiful adventure game where you are immersed into a fictional deserted world full of mystery.

the reason why i came to think of my childhood fascination with computer games is that i recently got a new phone and found myself playing one of the rather simple games on the phone again and again. silly huh?

thank you so much for all your comments to my previous post! it really means a lot.

couldn’t help myself, had to post a few more photos from our walk. it’s sunday and i’m home along working/drifting on the computer listening to the perfect sunday music - the national and headless heroes.

a beautiful blog that is new to me
