Traveling Made Simple


Sometimes things just go your way. The lines in at Intercontinental Airport were short, the seat next me was not occupied, I slept well on the plane and the hotel had a room ready when I arrived. I couldn’t hope for anything more except the trip home will be just as easy.

I am back in Petersfield this week. Then home again on Saturday.

Photography Class



My photography online class started on Thursday. Super excited about it. It means I will be taking more photos... which you know I take lots all ready. The class is designed to cover the basics of photography. Hopefully will learn how to use my camera to get better photographs and not just use the automatic settings.

For my first week of class, I was suppose to get out the camera and practice. I called my sister to see if Carter was available. ;o) He is such a happy baby and loves to smile so it was not to hard to get good photos. The only issue I had was he wiggles A LOT which means blurry hands etc.

Here are a few of my favorites. (Few might not be the appropriate word... lol)





Carter can sit up all by himself now (such a big boy!)-




He has a thing with his feet. If he notices his feet they automatically go into his mouth. Feet go into his mouth even with shoes on. LOL.


Carter is 8 months old now... can you believe it?

Olso, Norway {Again}



The weather was gorgeous while in Oslo this past week. (Highs of 70 to 75 degrees) Beat the Texas heat lately. This is my first trip to Oslo in the summer season. The pictures speak for themselves...







Tuesday night I went with Arnt Erik to an Henie-Onstad Art Museum and had dinner. The Museum restaurant was next to the water. Beautiful views. Unfortunately I didn't take an pictures. More about Sonja Henie-Onstad http://www.lucidcafe.com/library/96apr/henie.html
Baard and his wife took me on a harbor tour the last day I was in Oslo. The tour was a 50 min. boat tour and it was an interesting view of the harbor and the city, the ancient fortress of Akershus, and islands in the inner part of the Oslofjord.
