Fire in the Sky

Today the sky looked so beautiful as the sun was going down.  After a few months of mainly wet and grey weather it really warms the cockles of my heart to see the sun.  It was shining bright all day today, even though it was bitterly cold outside. Well, cold by Dutch standards, it was just below zero, which would …

30 Days of Truth: Day 14

I have sweet F-All to write for this one.  Maybe I don’t have heroes? I don’t know, but I can’t think of any that have let me down.  Except maybe P!NK for not replying to my letter! So, I’ll leave you with this cute photo I took of a wooden butterfly for my 365 photo for the day. I know, …

De Twee Heuvels

Early this morning Xander and I decided to take the dogs to the park for a walk.  We haven’t been to De Twee Heuvels before and it’s nearby so we went to check it out.  There isn’t a lot there, some paths and a lot of people with their dogs.  I assume it’s probably a lot nicer when the weather …

Project 365 (Day 3) Ten Years of Christmases

I was looking over my tree tonight, dreading the thought of taking all my Christmas decorations down and putting them away, when I noticed this ornament.  My husband and I bought it the first year we were married, in 2000, which was our 2nd year together and first year as husband and wife. I still feel way too young to …

Project 365 (Day 2) Painting With Light

Something I’ve always wanted to try was painting with light.  Basically you go in a dark room with a flashlight, candle or any other source of light, set your camera to a low ISO and a long shutter speed and move the light around to make the design you want. This morning I got up and tried it while it …
