Friday Fiesta Fotos...A day at the Beach

-
It's Friday, It's Friday, Thank Goodness it's Friday!!! YIPPEE!I'm playing Candid Carrie's Friday Foto Fiesta Finish again this week .So after you're done here, go over there and check out who's playing this week!!!
I know it seems my blog appears to have turned into a photography blog....
I LOVE LOVE LOVE taking pictures.....& the more I learn, the more pictures I want to take...
yesterday I was feeling a bit under the weather...but felt like I needed to get out & enjoy the sunshine & warm weather... (you never know how long it will last here...)
I threw Eva in the car & drove out to the beach which is 5 min. from our house....


We had the entire beach to ourselves...
I LOVE days like these.... my little monkey ran all over the beach ... collecting seashells...(mommy snapping pictures...)
I really wanted to use one of these pictures in next weeks *I heart faces* challenge... the theme is HATs... I know she is wearing a hood...but do you think I can sneak one of the photos in?


I am feeling a bit better.... I am pretty sure it just a summer cold....
(Neither Bjørn nor I thought it could be the swine flu... but my mom was kinda freaking out.....)
MOM, I*M FINE!
Hope y'all have a super weekend...

These pictures are BEAUTIFUL! I'm so jealous...I want a good camera (and instant knowledge on how to use it :). Thanks for stopping by and checking out my pics. I've actually been to Disneyland Paris (when it was called that). Back in the spring of 99 I studied in England for a semester and we had an extended weekend trip to Paris. I enjoyed it a lot! I was worried about the language barrier, but I realized once I was there that there are so many Brits vacationing there that it wasn't a problem at all. Have a great time!

You always take beautiful photos. It helps that your children have the faces of angels and that you have some of the most beautiful landscape in the world. That being said....you have a talent. I really love your photos!

Hope you are feeling better. Colds, flu, whatever....they all suck.

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long
