As good as I know you - reading you're own words about this total soul makeover or transmission to a nature girl - I would say there is still hope for mankind (or should I say womankind!).

Hey; reading the above comment (my own), I am thinking; that was a complicated way to explain what I think of you and this post. I could just have said this right away:
I'm glad you came to Norway and got the hang of it! :lol:

Btw: Have you got any special snail mail lately? and do I see you the 10th of June?

I'm more of a city girl now than I was before-- but that being said, you still sometimes seem to always capture how I'm feeling. I guess Sydney has a hand in that too, being that it's the city filled with nature in the most gorgeous way!

OK.. you've persuaded me to enter the competition... I have been hesitating, but have finally taken the plunge!

Absolutely breathtaking - suburban life is awfully convenient for some things but for me having nature on your doorstep is a real blessing - and as for your photography - you really are a natural!

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...
