January days...

See, I made a post! I apologize for not showing up more often nowadays. It’s just that I haven’t had much to blog about and I’m still lacking a little inspiration… which does not mean I wouldn't take pictures. I shoot daily and sometimes share on my Facebook page, so if you wish you can follow me there! 

I think we'll all ride through phases of creative lulls and peaks, but sometimes, I worry about not having eager to blog, share or shoot, ever again. And as saying this I also know this happens with a camera, as in life, too. This is just how it goes. I still hope to see you here (or on Facebook) even I’m not as scheduled as I used to be.

But I will be here every last day of the month and I invite you too! I invite you to join me in my month in photos project next year! I'm having a linky party on the last day of every month to share your month in photos - preferably in collage but any other way is fine too. You can use my template if you wish – download here! To see more of my templates, visit my Template Shop.

So, I should go outside and snap in order to get something  for my January collage ;)

We've been spending time mainly indoors and I think these lines speak the best...

Love grows best in little houses,

with fewer walls to separate.

Where you eat and sleep so close together,

you cant help but communicate.

And if we had more room between us,

think of all we’d miss.

Love grows best in houses just likes this.

Here are some portraits that came to exist because of grey and cold January days inside our little house.

A Christmas Wish

Rush, haste and hustle. That's my December. I'm trying to slow down in the evenings, making slow plans, dreaming of quite holidays and family time. Dreaming of brighter days and snow. Finding solace in the lyrics of Christmas songs.

It may happen that this is my only post in December or at least before Christmas.
So I'm wishing you a very merry Christmas! 
Enjoy ♡

Beyond Layers

Layers. They are my hobby, my medication for high blood pressure, my creative side, my passion.
Textures. They are exhilarating, joyful, fun. And when their magic works they are the way to express my inner feelings.

Not many people get this. I'm happy to have Texture Tuesday friends and Texture Twisters by my side.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Forever spring

I wish it would last forever. This spring. Especially today when the lilacs started to bloom and the earth is suddenly one perfumed heaven.

To see a world in a grain of sand 
and heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour. 
-William Blake

Perfectly imperfect

I saw that you were perfect and so I loved you.

Than I saw you were not perfect and I loved you even more.

For the love of... Mondays!

I'm a little bit in love with... Mondays!
A fresh start. New beginning. Sweet everyday things...

beauty is hidden in everything, just learn how to observe

Roses & Stuff

Spring that finally sprung. I bought pink roses to celebrate the weekend. 

The golden hour sun was beautiful and warm and we really stopped to smell the roses.

A light exists in spring

Waiting for the spring light...

Do Your Thing

There are many photographers that aim for reality. To capture things how they are. I appreciate their talent. But I don't do that... Firstly I'm not talented enough. And secondly I aim for beauty. I edit. A lot. I just love LOVE love the fact that I can make an ordinary dull snapshot something totally different - This is my thing. My art.
