366 Challenge 94: Post box

366 photo challenge: Post box

Maybe not a post box, but a letter box, and it is so pretty I have to have it for my 366. The text Breflåda is old Swedish, today it is called Brevlåda, brev meaning letter and låda meaning box. I think it's beautiful.

366 Challenge 47: Red

Mia's Pearls 366 Photo challenge

Here is another photo from my little walk through Lysekil on Saturday. I started my walk with admiring the most adorable of houses. It also had a beautiful rose garden and as I was standing there (literally drewling) and elderly lady came out to greet me. She was so sweet and you could really see how happy she was to get some company. She didn't say much at first, just stood beside me smiling but after a little while she started telling me about the garden and the house.

I took several pictures of her house after telling her about the 366 challenge, and this rose stood so beautifully on its own against the backdrop of the house, I just have to have it for the 366.

I get cheerful just thinking of this sweet lady, this red rose is a great reminder.

Fototriss - Gammalt(Trio of photos: Old)

Mias Pearl's

I love anything to do with old buildings, so I have to keep the theme going from last week. This is a beautiful old glass veranda, which I walked past on Saturday. I would LOVE to have one of these...

And an equally beautiful old lamp outside the most gorgeous of houses.

Not as pretty, but equally beautiful is this old log cabin. It's not just old, it is also situated at a farm called "Gammelgården", which means old farm in english.

I hope that you have enjoyed my photos, to view more Fototriss contributions, view here.

366 Challenge 50: Fruity

366 Challenge: Fruity

Today we had an outing!! We went to a beautiful coastal town not far from our village. O and the children went to a seaworld center and I had a lovely stroll around the old town. I found this beautiful apple tree, but when I tried to take a photo, it was too cloudy, but still the sun was shining through a little bit, so I could only see the apples as silouettes. But just as I walked away the sun broke trough and I rushed back. I am really happy with this shot, my fruity theme.

366 Challenge 28: Mirror



In February, when C was at a birthday party we took the car to Costa. O went in to buy some coffee and I tried to shoot just anything I could see from my seat in the car. A taxi pulled in, just behind us and I tried to take a picture of it through the mirror.

The mirror isn't centered in the photo, but the taxi is, so I still think this photo has some balace to it.

366 Challenge 57: Pop culture

366 Pop Culture

When we visited Sweden in March, I went through some old boxes of mine to take out some of my old dolls for J to play with and to my delight (and O's) I found a bunch of Swedish pop magazines from the 80s. I also had lots of pictures and posters that I had been cutting out.

Ah, I was 12 years old, felt like I owned the world and adored John Taylor in Duran Duran, and also listened to Howard Jones, Thompson Twins, Boy George and Madonna...now that's pop culture to me.

PS. Today I am catching up on my 366 challenge, by going through my archives and ticking off some themes. So if you are visiting my blog to view my Fototriss contribution or just catching up just go through my previous posts.

366 Challenge 307: Pens

366 challenge pens

I took this photo in February as well. J was playing with pens and I tried to take the colour "blue", but I will use this as pens instead.
