And also trying my hand at B&W processing.

A flowerless room is a soulless room, to my way of thinking;
but even on solitary little vase of a living flower may redeem it.

Somehow wooden moose seem to live a perfectly ordinary life with improvised antler-replacements.
This one will have to seek some serious mental help though,
to overcome his fear of cats after the incident.

Unfortunately there were no witnesses and Terminator 1 and 2 arent talking.

only as far as I seek can I go,
only as deep as I look can I see,
only as much as I dream can I be.

What does a photographer do when supposed to clean the house and wash the dishes?
Play with washing-up liquid and a macro lens....

Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake.

The game of Snow snake actually does exist, but not in Iceland.
It was still snowing a lot today and just about anything could have hidden in those white swirls running across the land.

Shoveling snow to get your car out of the parking lot at work sure does make the need for a warming drink a necessity.

Snakes or no snakes.

I have forgotten which colors they are, so I will be in for a suprise once the buds will open.
