Verkan,

I spent 3 days in our summer cottage with mom alone. Whenever I get the chance to do that, I remember how much I enjoy it. There's very few that can reach the level of comfortable that I have with her. In good and bad :)

Challenge of 7,

I was very bored during some weeks and lacking the motivation for photographing. In some journals there was a challenge. Tell 7 facts or habits of yours. This one of them in my series of the answer.

:(

24.6.-30.6.2007 and 1.-7.7.2007 I suffer from lack of photography motivation. So much work. So much else to think about. Absolutely no pictures from those weeks.

Explanations,

Someone sent me a flower via internet, so I printed it out and set it on the kitchen table. I just wish it was real.

I've noticed that the cleaning job I do now, during summer, takes out all the creativity there is left in me. Just taking pictures is hard, because the job takes most of the day. After I get home around 9pm, I'm tired enough to go to bed and sleep until 10 the next morning when I'm in hurry to go to work already.

Why do all good things must come to an end?

I will miss this. Many times, a lot and much.

Picture on the very last moment.

While listening Keith Urban sings Alone in this house again tonight. I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine.

We are watching the same sunset. In a second it's gone.

Dandelions.

Yes, summer really is here. Everyday overruns +20 C.
So why not bike to work?
