family picnic

a few weeks back we went on a family picnic in a forest north of copenhagen. it was a great day.

today we celebrated daniel's 5th birthday in the garden. D is going back tomorrow. i have another weeks with the kids before reality kicks in. and a one day trip with work to helsinki, leaving tomorrow night.

on another note: my camera lense is making problems. i need to have it fixed when i get back. it gets stucked and cannot seem to focus right.

stillness

a butterfly meeting its faith on the blank surface of the pond. all still. quiet life underneath paying no attention.

---------------------------

we got back from a little road trip today. went to aarhus and then legoland. not much stillness om such a road trip. but now they are sound asleep and so will i be in a very few minutes. 

Sweet dreams. 

ps. i've been sucked into instagram. you'll find me there as @trinsch. 

postcards round two

continuing with postcards from denmark. here's sun and rain, danish summer as we know it. we're taking it easy, but the days seem a bit hectic anyway. probably how it's supposed to be with kids.

hope you're enjoying summer too.

blue tones on our way

outside :: inside

the danish version. northern summer light, white flowers.

we're off for the countryside tomorrow. taking the kids on the road. will be back in a couple of days.

hope you're enjoying your summer too.

beach brunch on board

before we left, brunch on the beach with friends visiting from abroad.

this seems pretty far away right now, even if the sun has been shining today and i believe we must have passed the 20 celcius spot on the thermometer.

...and with this i should be over and done with the middle eastern beach photos for now. we'll soon move on and catch up with our days in denmark.

today i found a box of my old photos, pre-digital age. i was looking for photos while traveling in indonesia some time that seems like a 100 years ago. probably closer to 15 years, not sure.

we'd been at the zoo museum and i was going to show the boys photos of the me and a komodo dragon. thought i could impress them, you know, komodo dragons are fascinating, especially if you're 4 to 6 years old.

anyway, i went down memory lane. looked at other photos. people i hardly know any longer. myself, so young to look at. time really does fly. better pay attention.
