My darling Pentax and I will be spending lots of time together now that I have to use it for photo school. I’m excited. I’ve been working on my first assignment… taking photos of eggs.

Dreaming In A Forest

Today I get to share something I’m extra excited about. This is a song my husband has composed and I really love it. It’s so otherworldly and perfect for Fairytale Friday. So I hope you guys enjoy it.

Hope you guys have a great weekend.

Isn’t this guy adorable? He’s the latest addition to my jewelry/gnome collection!

The Rhine

I’m really loving the look of autochrome photos lately, and the Rhine is such a great subject.

Some more lovely photos by my photo swap partner Christine

My husband is going to visit his family back in Copenhagen next week, so he will get to enjoy the city that Christine has captured so nicely. All of her photos can be seen here . Have a lovely Monday everyone.

Burg Eltz

I have so many fairytale-esque pictures from my lovely trip to Germany. I hope you are enjoying them.

We walked for about 90 minutes to get there from the train station and you walk through a nice little forestry trail with the river running next to it.

It’s a photoswap

Earlier this summer I decided to try out a film swap put together by the lovely Rhianne.
Rhianne randomly paired people depending on film types and such, and I got someone really exciting! I got paired up with Christine of http://tschitschi.wordpress.com/. She’s living in Copenhagen, Denmark which is quite the coincidence because I’m married to a Danish guy and have lived in Copenhagen myself and will eventually move back there. It’s nice to see photos of places I recognize. I also love her style of street photography. It makes me wish I was better at that type of photography.
Anyway here are some of my favorites for a taster.

If this is Kongens Have (King’s garden) like I think it is, this is one of the first places my now husband took me when I arrived in Denmark. It’s such a great place to chill out.

From my old stomping grounds Frederiksberg.

More to come. If you enjoyed these, check out her blog for some more delightful pictures of Denmark and the places she travels!

And a big thanks to Rhianne for setting this up for everyone!

I haven’t done Fairytale Friday in so long. I’ve missed it! My trip to Germany certainly has provided me with plenty of images for Fridays.

Film photos from the Black Forest

I’ve been obsessed with the Black Forest for about a year or two. It was just a magical place for me. I spent some time in Freiburg and then headed off to the most touristy little village Triberg. I loved every minute of it. I went into all the cuckoo clock shops and ate Black Forest cake from a cafe. I was so tempted to buy cuckoo number 2, but I resisted. Pretty hard when some stores I went into were having 50% off sales.
