What I saw today... drive through Norway

-
I am away on business today... about a 4.5 hour drive North... Oppland..


I was so lucky with the weather... it was so nice .. I  pulled over several times just to take a few shots..

LOVE my I phone & all of the cool little apps....
Yes... there is already snow on the ground up here...
And the highligh...t SURPRISE of the day... Reinli Stave church.. so beautiful..
I had to take a 10km detour.. but it was worth it... there are only 33 Stave Churches left in Norway

Oppland is very beautiful - the "inner" parts of Norway are so different from the coasts.

It is always so odd to me to see SNOW in October. Well, any time of the year I guess since I'm in California. I love looking at pictures around the world. Thanks for the view!

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...

I ♥ Faces - Reflection

REFELECTIONS .... To be considered as a winner for this week's challenge, your photo needs to have a reflection of a face in it (Kids - a child's face; Adults - an adult's face.) Be creative ~ the reflection can be in a mirror, glass, water....or any other way you can think of to show a reflection of the beautiful face you photograph! I know this isn't much of a FACE shot... but it is ME reflected in my daughters eye.... I was pretty excited when I saw this yesterday.... This was a so so shot of my daughter... taken at the beach on Sat. BEFORE I ♥ Faces,... I probably would have deleted the shot.... but when I looked closer... I saw my reflection.... I have seen so many cool shots others have done on I♥ faces, where I was just amazed by the subjects eyes... I never realized how easy it is to look in them & see something... So thank you I♥ faces for teaching me something cool! So head on over to I Heart Faces , & see who else is playing! Here is my "baby...
