Some weeks ago, my dad and I took a trip out to Kaufmann Lake on a misty autumn morning, and wandered around with my camera. Here are some of the photos. We took a lot of blurry ones of spiderwebs covered in dew… I didn’t turn up the saturation on this one, it came out [...]

Well, I may not be that great at the “adding ingredients together in the right order” aspect of cooking, but when it comes to veggie slicing, I feel like a pro. Check out these little tiny slivers of onion for my recipe – and not a tear was shed over their slicing! I made Pot [...]

There’s been a nest right outside the kitchen for a while now, and I’ve been enjoying watching the inhabitants. I saw the robin bringing the first clumps of grass, and feeding the babies, and then the babies stretching their wings, and finally last night when I looked after dinner, they all seemed to be gone. [...]

I absolutely love the Scandinavian landscape – especially those archipelagoes full of tiny, rocky, evergreen-covered islands. Even before I was a fan of Myst, I thought they were pretty much the most beautiful, mysterious, inspiring places ever. When I lived in Sweden, there was an old dry river valley behind my family’s apartment, with huge [...]

I recently ordered new business cards. While doing so, I decided to also order postcards with one of my photos from Germany. Unfortunately, the business cards were printed wrong, and after my complaint, the printing company reprinted my entire order, and I now have more than a hundred postcards of a snowy bush. I have [...]

Things have been quiet around here while I look for a job. The weather hasn’t even been all that good for taking pictures. So I have some silly things for you. First off, the German news is apparently being silly again. Next, what I will now always think of when I see Cosmo in the [...]

A week or two ago, I was having breakfast in the early morning and noticed our cherry tree had blossomed pretty much over night. With the dawn light it looked very fresh and beautiful, so I went and grabbed my camera before the light changed. P.S. I now have twitter, although it will take some time [...]
Saturday was Siena at the suggestion of people at work. At breakfast, I talked with a German engineering student who was making a tour of Europe. He was startlingly happy to be able to speak German with somebody, I guess he was kind of starved for it after being in Italy. After breakfast I packed up and [...]

Friday I took my time in getting up, seeing as I’d had so much extra time the day before. I took the bus into town to the Palazzo Pitti and its gardens, and spent the morning wandering around. Most pictures when I get a chance to go through what I took, but in the meantime here [...]

I arrived in Florence Wednesday evening, and after an hour and a half of trying to figure out which bus to take to the outskirts of town, I finally got to my youth hostel and sorted out keys etc. I was ready to flop into bed when the American girl sharing my room showed up [...]
