SICILIAN LUNCH

 

RHUBARB COCKTAIL

MOUNTAIN FLOWER CROWN

Totally exhausted, but also very happy, after spending all of yesterday photographing the beautiful wedding ...of the beautiful couple ANETTE and WESLEY ...here in beautiful OSLO. I think it's such an honor as well as a nice experience getting to spend the entire WEDDING DAY with a couple like that ..but it also makes my entire body hurt the day after. Their wedding was wonderful from beginning to end and I can not wait to show you some pictures, but today you have to settle with these photos that I took at the cabin while making a FLOWER CROWN. Realized when I put it on that I can't really wear one with that  kind of flowers because of my ALLERGIES; putting it on made my eyes and nose itch and run immediately ..well well, I guess that just means that if I ever want to make one again ..I'll just have to make it for someone else:)

SELF CAUGHT TROUT AND HOME MADE POTATO SALAD

CATCHING TINY TINY MOUNTAIN TROUT

When we arrived at the CABIN we had big FISHING ambitions ..BUT we actually ended up doing it only once. The fish in the water by our cabin is not very big, but it's a fun activity ..and it's nice to eat self caught fish. So these pictures were taken when my dad, Erlend and I went out to bring in the FISHES we had caught in our two fishing nets during the night. As imagined they were not very BIG, but not really small either ..considering what we are used to catching in this water .. AND we caught 8 of them so enough to make lunch.

CABIN LIFE

I am in OSLO this week to photograph a WEDDING ..and to see friends ..and to enjoy OSLO during summer ..because I especially miss living in Oslo when I think of the summers I spent here. Beautiful summers. It's kind of ironic that I am here during ØYA ( a music festival situated almost in the city center of OSLO), without a ticket, because when I lived here I always used to think it was really sad being here during the festival ...of course only when  did not have a ticket ..because all my friends were in town ..but I  could not see them because I could not enter the era they were partying in.. Anyway, so there will be no festival posts on my blog this week ..instead I will show you some of the pictures I took during my stay at our CABIN.

CLOUDS ROLLING BY

Just arrived in OSLO after almost three weeks at our FAMILY CABIN in the NORWEGIAN MOUNTAINS. After one week of non stop summer fun the WEATHER GODS decided to change things up and give us two weeks of a lot of rain, thunder and lightning. These pictures were taken after my SISTER and FRODE arrived at the cabin .. when there was no more summer sun ..but still summer fun. We decided to go check out the water in this beautiful idyllic pond I have been bragging about.. turned out since it started raining the temperature had dropped to 18 degrees ...meaning I chickened out and din not swim ..but FRODE and ERLEND did. Looking at the picture of Frode I started thinking about THESE that I took last summer. Very different places and atmospheres.. but still the same people and the same activities. I think my FAVORITE thing in the whole world; spending time with Erlend, Frode & Inger.
