yesterday we went to stevn's klint... those are a bunch of cliffs we went to this summer, that you need a car to get to (and we have a car right now for a couple of weeks) and the wind was so cold and the water from the sea so busy that i just had the feeling that i should post and not just talk about posting... from our trip to vienna and yesterday's visit to the cliffs, and so i selected all of the photos from greg's phone to upload onto my computer and it was over 600! not just from vienna and the cliffs of course, but from the summer and maybe the spring. and when they all went onto my computer they went there in a not chronological order and so they also went onto the blog in that way... well... not all 600 of them, but the ones i thought were my favorites, and that's around 86, which is too many to order when you know your kids are surely on their way home from a long day at the museum with grandma and grandpa and you need to help get dinner on the table... so... as is so often the case these days when i post pictures.. in no particular order... my favorites...

Wow, that was great! All of them! I especially laughed at the photos of the guys' heads popping up from a field of…. raspberries?
Thanks so much for giving us these images!
Superb! I liked ALL of them. Except the one where it turns out the bike was being washed. Before you explained it, it seemed someone had an accident and the bike was upside in a pool of blood!
When you put these up, I feel like you're coming closer to the normal swing of things again. And that's such a good thing!
Thanks Nina and Phyllis. The boys were popping out of some hedges that were part of a maze in a playground in Sweden.
Nina.. the normal swing of things is my goal! I would love to keep posting... I hope I do it! I have been feeling so disconnected... but at the same time, loving all the reading I've been able to do with my non-posting time in the evenings.
Wonderful photos, I enjoyed them all. Especially the boys popping out of the hedges. And the lake with the clouds reflected. Well, really all!
