Light Festival

This photo was taken during the light festival "Drömljus" ("Dreamlights") in Helsingborg, on February 14, 2013.
Taken with my cell phone (Xperia Arc S) and edited in Instagram (though now in retrospect, I'm not sure it's edited, I can't see wether I've used an Instagram filter or not ... ah well, guess it's not that important).

My Precious!

Wow, I didn't realize I'd be away for THIS long! Yikes!
Anyhow, here's me giving this blog another go - and as I've started re-reading "The Lord of the Rings" again - and will eventually read "The Hobbit" as well, in order to watch the movie, I thought it appropriate to start off with a graphic I made of Gollum! :)

Lund University

The main building of Lund University.
Photo taken on 4 March 2013, using my mobile phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S) and edited in Instagram.

Sleepy

My gorgeous Zorro, here feeling quite sleepy!
Photo taken on 10 February 2010 (Nikon D40X).

Back at last!

Sorry for the gap in entries in this blog - I went away for Easter holidays and came back really ill ... and it's taken me a while to get back to everything again.
This digi.scrap is of me, I'm guessing I'm about 9 months to a year old here, the caption translates "Happy Girl!" for those of you not speaking/reading Swedish! :) I had difficulties creating great scraps with this kit, but I'm actually quite ahppy with this one! :)

The Big Apple

Digi.scrap of me from my first visit to New York in July of 1999. The top two pictures are taken at Empire State Building, the bottom two at the Statue of Liberty.

Grey and brown

March is usually quite grey and brown where I live.
Photo taken on 9 March 2012 with my Nikon Coolpix L23.

Late-blooming rose

Gorgeous rose, blooming in October!
Photo taken on 7 October 2007 (with my old HP camera)!

Summerhouse

Our gorgeous summerhouse!

Little me! :)

Photo of me, I guess it would be taken in the summer of 1980 or 1981! :) I have no memory of that dress, but now I think it is absolutely adorable!! :)

Summer by the sea

Sorry about the lack of updates, I haven't been feeling well for a few days ...
Summer by the sea, I love the reflection of the sun in the water.
Photo taken on 12 June 2011 (Nikon D40X).

Afternoon walk

Gorgeous weather for an afternoon walk - though it was quite windy and the winds are still really chilly. But nothing beats a walk by the ocean - a great way to clear the mind.
Photo taken today, with my cell phone camera (Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S).

Fabulous flowers!

Fantastic flower at Sofiero Castle.
Photo taken on 28 May 2008 (Nikon D40X).

Missed Forever.

A photo of baby Zorro - I think he is about 3-4 weeks old here. Have you ever seen anything so cute before?!?
I will always miss him.

Loved Always.

Today it was 2 years and 4 months since I lost Zorro - and I still grieve for him every single day.
This photo is the last one I took of him, on 1 November 2010.

Big visitor!

A moose came to visit in the summerhouse - not too shy either.
Photo taken with my old HP camera (my first digital camera).

Gorgeous Sunset

Beautiful sunset by the ocean.

The amazing Turning Torso building in Malmö.
I do like the angel of the photo.

Sunset by the sea

One of my favourite photos still, sunset by the ocean with all the birds settling in for the night.

The Love Of My Life

This is Zorro, my Somali cat. He passed away on 15 November 2010, and I haven't felt a complete person since then.
I got him when he was about three years old, in 2000, and we had almost 10½ wonderful years together - he helped through a dreadful time in my life, and still not a day goes by without me thinking about him and grieving.

First entry - Me! :)

Well, while I don't quite consider myself an ego-centric person, the first entry will actually be a picture of me! :)
I thought I'd take the oportunity to introduce myself if there are some blog readers out there who doesn't already know me ...
So this is me, taken on my 35th birthday earlier this year ... and if memory serves, I think it's only edited in Instagram.

Welcome!

Welcome to my picture blog!
While I have a personal blog as well (in Swedish), where I sometimes try to post "Pic of the Day", I don't always write in it every day, and sometimes I had lots of photos and don't want to add a "Pic of the Day" as well - so I figured I'd create a picture blog only.
I have tried this before, and it hasn't quite worked out, but I'm willing to give it one more try.
The idea is to actually add at least one picture/post every day - so hopefully you'll enjoy what you see and come back for more.

I am an amateur but I truly enjoy photography and digital editing, love playing with different apps on my cell phone as well as work in Photoshop on my computer, so I'm hoping to give you a decent mix of photographs and edited pictures here.

You can click on any picture to see a bigger version of it.

I always welcome comments, thoughts, ideas and constructive criticism, so feel free to tell me what you think! :)

Thank you for visiting my blog!
