› Winter wonderland
It has been snowing crazy where I live and it still snows! unfortunately I forgot my camera today when I went out but hopefully it’s this beautiful on the trees tomorrow as well when the weather app says it’s gonna snow all night and tomorrow.
Hi, good evening or goodnight in my case. I have been up since 1am and it’s now over 9pm so I decided to go to bed early today. E woke up and refused to go back to sleep but luckily he is sleeping since 1h ago.
So good news is that I’m feeling better and probably will go to the gym tomorrow and also school. I have already checked with nurses and they said if I’m symptoms free and have no fever tomorrow (which is today. I asked this yesterday) I can go tomorrow (thursday). woopwoop. What have I done to make myself feel better? Well, I didn’t get any medication from the HCC so I had to try harder with home remedies. Painkillers, burning hot tea like every 1 hour, lemon, ginger etc and also the astma meds I had to take more off (with permission from a “hotline” the people in Sweden can call when sick, need advice etc).
Hopefully I will feel good or even better tomorrow because I need to get back into my routines with school, workout, photography, editing etc. I miss having enery and structure so it’s time to beat the funk in the ass and get better (im talking about in general now.. mental health etc).
Short post but I’m here. Goodnight you beautiful souls!

› Happy Tuesday!!
Good morning / good evening/ good afternoon/ goodnight to you all! I hope you all are doing good!
It’s been a bit quiet since I wrote last time. It’s December! how insane isnt that!? And it’s December 3rd today!? what? Christmas in Sweden is in 21 days! oh my.
have you bought the presents yet or are you like me, wait til the last moment? I don’t know why I do that but I think it’s because I can’t hide stuff from my son 😅
oh I have actually bought one thing and it was yesterday.. He loves my tumbler I have so I bought one from him that he is getting for a present. Hopefully he doesn’t find that one .
People has started to decorate but I haven’t. Why? because Christmas is not a holiday I actually wanna celebrate but I am gonna put decorations up this weekend when both son and husband isn’t home. I only put it up and celebrate for my son because I refuse to ley him have bad experience with Christmas as I have since childhood.
Lucia songs . In Sweden we celebrate Lucia (i dont remember why and i am too tired to Google it right now) and my son is while I’m writing this, practicing on thr songs because he will celebrate it in school so the parents will go and look on him and the other children have their show 🥰 I cant wait!
Yeah so that’s pretty much it for now, I’m gonna get my son ready for school and get myself ready as well.
So i will write later.

› Life as a nature photographer
What have I got myself into to be honest.. I love taking pictures but risking my life just to get few pictures.. Is it worth it? Maybe. Depends on situation. but to be honest, no.
When I went to my location to take these photos (below), I slipped and fell on big rocks. I managed to stop before hitting the big big rocks and water luckily. But I got hurt really bad and today I feel like a train has run over me.
WARNING; BLOOD AND WOUND
I really didn’t even notice that I was bleeding until I by accident saw it when I was fixing settings on my camera. After I saw it I felt the pain . Not before. How crazy is that? Thank God I was surrounded with snow so I could make it stop bleeding fast.
Today; I can move my finger but it hurts really bad. The wound is pretty deep and big.
Was it worth though? No. For me it wasn’t. The pictures didn’t turn out how I pictured them in my head but it is alright. I had a tiny adventure.
One thing I often ask myself, Am I a nature photographer or just a person trying really hard? What is really the answer? For me yes iam one but for professional photographers etc I would just be this “girl with a camera trying hard”.
My dream is to become a good photographer. Having the right equipment so I could be able to travel the world and take stunning pictures. A girl can dream right?
National Geographic Magazine. Now that would be an achievement of life time. Unfortunately I know that would never happen but I have a goal and that keep me moving forward.
Hopefully in future I’ll be able to take other pictures without risking to fall, slip and hurt myself. Lol!

› I have the law on my side
I’ve recently discovered that I like to capture reflections in windows, flowers and details. But after an incident that occurred the other day I had to check the laws to see if I was allowed or if it was forbidden.
I deleted so many pictures I took due for me being so scared after the incident. I couldn’t stop shaking after it happened and I was in total shock!
I deleted them because I was not sure if I was breaking the law or not. I was listening to my gut feeling before taking the pictures so while O was taking the pictures, the gut feeling told me all the time that I am safe and it’s not forbidden.
I checked the laws in photography to make sure what the law said. As long as I don’t take pictures of people in the windows. I am not allowed taking photos INTO their home. But why would I do that? How people live is none of my business. And frankly, that’s not something I wanna do.
So I can clearly say, iam safe to take photos like this and iam happy. I like taking pictures like this!
So now I can’t wait after finding this out, to take pictures of Christmas decorations.
So if you wanna take photos like these please check the laws if you are allowed or not. I do not know how it applies in your country but in Sweden it’s allowed.

I still haven’t found my tone of niche. I like colors and I like the dark tones.

How are you!? I hope you all are doing good and enjoy this beautiful Saturday! The sun is shining, and the itch to go outside and snap photos is coming strong but unfortunately I can not go out and take photos today due to having my son at home. Lol plus my ear is in pain.
I will upload pictures i have taken with time but I am updating the Instagram and Facebook page often. Would love if you follow / joined me on my journey!
