Summer

I havent been here for a long time :/ havent really had time to do what i love doing ,taking pictures ,still found some time while we took the kids to the dyraparken/zoo here in Norway ,just had to use my 70-200mm lens for this and its just perfect for these images ,its has some nice glass :)

i am very much afraid of big animals ,lions,bears ,sharks and polarbears i dont know why i have this but i guess its because they are huge hehe ,well my heart just stoppes when i see them .This big liondad gave it his all when he attacked a window where i was standing ,i was sure he would get out and eat me so my biggest fear would come true ,so i just was not able to stand there one more min ,it was just in my head i know but boy was my heart pounding fast and i had found a way to escape if he would get out ,first i would get my kids running with me and then i would hide in the coffee place next to us ,silly yes i know .

These guys where just cute ,jumped on my hubby´s shoulder and licked his phone ,guess he whanted to make a call .

i was pretty relaxed looking at these guys ,but still had found a way to hide just in case LOL but these animals are just gorgeous to look at .

Here she is mommy lion ,she looks powerful looking over the lazy males

i just love these guys ,everytime i clicked the shutter he looked at me ,like he was thinking what´s going on there ,he just had have a good view of all the things going on around him .
and just for fun here is a link to the park Dyreparken

Im still working on my school NYIP ,just going a bit slow at the moment but i just need to snap thouse images for unit 4 and then it of in the mail :) well its bit more then just snap ,i always overthink things and thats why it takes my so long to get the images i whant ,but im gona get there in the end (i hope)
take care

2013 the new year begins

Its a new day with new things and i so hope this year is gona be the one to be the good year .
last night was a busy one for us ,the kids had fun and one of them was to tierd to stay awake so late so he was out in dreamland before midnight.
But me and my 17 year old where standing a on bridge where we can see well over the town and just after midnight i saw a fire in a window near us and an old man was trying to fight the fire with a stick and an old lady sitting on the sofa  (i was shooting with my camera just over the house)
 there where a few guys on the bridge as well and i called them and asked if they saw what i was looking at and i gave them my phone to call the firedepartment ,i dint know the name on the street ,then we ran down there to see if we could get them out but there was no way we could get in there big locks and stuff so we just had to wait for the police and firedep ,they where really fast

and i kinda felt like a reporter with my camera and my biggest lens on it hahah there was a photographer there as well and kinda felt like i was one to :) he is standing in the pic there in the middle .
but this all ended well and the old couple where ok and the fire was put out ,so me and my daughter left .So this is how i ended the 2012 and this is how we began the new 2013 ,feels good to know that this all whent well cause this could have gona so bad in just a few min ,and i guess the old folks will be more carefull with there candles in the windows .

i took this image just min before the fire started in one of the window where the light is .
So the new year began with a big blast and i hope im gona do fun things in the new year and do them with a blast ... i like that blast are my kinda thing :)you would understand if you knew my well
for the new year i plan big things and im gona write them down here so i can look back on them when this year will be ending .

1. finish the school NYIP
2. go home to Iceland with my family next summer
3. get some fat off (this is the one i have every year ) haha
4. ? this one i need to think about

hope the new year will bring you everything you whant it to bring
xoxo
