to the bognæs skov

a trip to a forested peninsula on the fjord today.  greg has been wanting to take a trip out to an isthmus connecting the peninsula to the mainland, maybe 8 or 10 miles from where we live.  today, we went.  a good day to do so as it only looked like it might rain one time during the entire day.  a day mostly told through pictures... 

upon reaching the isthmus

a beautiful day for a bike ride...




a peak at the fjord...


heading onto the peninsula, toward the forest...


we ditched our bikes at a rubble pile at the forest entrance and walked along...


being in the forest made me think i had not seen trees in a long time, but i think i have just not seen such tall trees so close up in a long time...


looking, not touching, a big slug...



tree

hanging around a chopped down tree for a bit.  looking, and touching, the bugs living underneath the logs. watching ants...


we stopped at the viking bakery in roskilde before our ride and picked up some bread.  and then i realized that maybe you haven't seen danish rye bread close up before, so here it is...


we found a place near the water to set down our blanket for a picnic lunch...

henry with one shoe



william with cheese


after lunch, there was the pull toward the water...


where it started to get overcast and cool, and feel like it might rain...

so after throwing some rocks, we made our way back to the bikes and headed home.  a warm ride back. sun and no rain.

i tried out the panoramic option on my phone's camera and took two pictures that google would not let me upload, saying i'd run out of space and needed to upgrade from a free account to a paid account.  i put them on facebook instead.  ah well!

Well now, if you continue to take such good photos, you'll probably do yourself a great favor by upgrading on flickr. Imagine: never to worry about losing a photo again! I bought the next level up from free several years back and have been happy with the comfort of knowing that I have more than enough space up there in cyberspace.

And BTW, this is one hell of a good batch of photos. Have you thought of doing a Blurb book? Either seasonal or annual...

So many projects, so little time... I know, I know.

Hi Nina,

It's silly, but I don't even know how any of it works. I thought it was telling me to upgrade on PIcasa. I didn't even know my photos were stored on Picasa. I just upload them from the camera to the computer and from the computer to the blog.

I also don't know what a Blurb book is! But I will look it up right now!
