Weekly photo challenge: Let there be light

I found my “Let there be light” in the dark, which is also an excellent starting point for this year’s weekly photo challenge story.

My childhood was nice and friendly. I have no other bad memories than my asthma, due to which I had then, as a 3-year-old girl, had to go alone for three weeks at the sea-side, every summer for three years. I was missing my family very much then.

At some point in my life, when I was a rebel without much reason, I left home and thus escape from the bad memories of the past, painful love, if I can say so, I have experienced. I fell into a deep depression, which I could not see the exit from. I wanted to commit suicide, I ate loads of tablets, as long as one day, in my darkness, I realized,  that there is enough of drowning in sorrow and I am the only one who can do something about it. I called home, came back and started life again. Many years have passed until I’ve recovered, but I found what I was looking for. I found an amiable partner with whom I have a beautiful baby. Partner has helped me to recover and left the dark past and again see the light of the future. Here I am reborn and new and in better time of my life.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected

“Unexpected. The world is an interesting place: we stumble upon unexpected things each day, like signs that are unintentionally amusing, bizarre sculptures, or even strange evidence of a miniature world on the side of a building (like the door and window in the shot above, discovered in San Francisco’s Mission District).

So, your photo challenge this week is to capture something unexpected. You can also interpret the theme in other ways: a street scene or landscape that just doesn’t look quite right, an impromptu portrait of a loved one, or any other image that reveals a sense of surprise.”

I want to share some of mine unexpected moments, caught on card, with my camera or phone. You are welcome to leave a comment or share your thoughts, relevant to my UNEXPECTED images.

This image was taken on a sunny day, when suddenly it started to rain. After the rain, I saw a beautiful rainbow, but my phone battery was gone and I couldn`t take that one too. I get special feelings when I look at this picture, because something like this doesn`t happen often.

2. While going trough my phone photos, I discovered a royal wedding. Someone of my closest family members took pictures of a Kate and prince William. This picture was taken in our living room, from a TV. It was taken at unexpected moment and was unexpected.

Weekly Photo Challenge: FOCUS

It has been a long time since I have participated in weekly photo challenge and a long time away on general. I am back with my new blog look and my new goals. I know you haven`t miss me, but I am back, prepared to blog every single day. Watch out.  (just kidding…)

…let me write something first, before I show you some of my “focus” posts…

My favorite is a plain old non-digital camera that still makes the best and the most beautiful pictures. I’m sorry that I don`t have it at hand, because my sister borrowed it. She lives in London, a long way from home because she is a photographer and she uses it a lot more than I do.

So I had to use what I have. Digital Camera with not much  pixels.

My photo(s) explanation:

1.  This photo is full of hard colors which is why I love it so much. It was taken in the Alps last summer and I wanted to catch in my focus all, from the forests in the back to my son in his father`s backpack.

2. This one has the same story as the first one, except the waterfall in the back.

3. This photo is taken in the spa. I have focused on water. I wanted to see water clearly with its reflection and clearity. I think I was very successful at catching it.

4. This swan visited us last february and it was standing a few feet from us. I gave him some food and he was posing for me.

Here are some FOCUS photos from me:

Weekly Photo Challenge: Good Morning!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Good Morning!

I like to start my day, especially monday morning,  when I am free, with a good cup of coffee at my friend`s Cafe and reading monthly magazine about interior design. I usually wake up, take care of my little lemon tree, take my little boy to kindergarten and stop by  Cafe. It is like a morning story and here it is, in images that speak for themselves.

Weekly Photo Challenge: From Lines to Patterns

I have found some new lines and patterns I think I can share on weekly photo challenge this week. I am allways on the run and I barely manage to post or take some pictures. I did this on my way to kindergarten this morning.

Enjoy, have fun and I hope I will soon have some time looking at yours too.
