Godt Nytt År ønskes alle store og små! =)

Julesteika mi får du aldri!

Ebba er godt forsynt med kjøtt og bein siden hun kun fores rått, men denne julesteik-resten hun fikk av mormor var bare topp, assa! *ler*

Vi begynner ganske pent og dannet...



...før vi blir litt ivrigere...


..og vi tilslutt bare *må* ha - helt vill i blikket! *ler*




Ebba takker med dette mormor - med en stor rap og masse suss! =)



PS! Hun fikk ikke gnage aleine på beinet, altså - varmebehandlede bein kan være livsfarlige for hunder! Så til hennes frustrasjon holdt jeg i et hjørne det meste av tida... *ler*

Folk liker bloggen min!! *Yey*

Jeg har fått noen awarder i den korte tida jeg har hatt bloggen - men jeg har ikke skjønt hvordan jeg flytter de med meg hit... Men nå fikk jeg det til! Så da kommer alle her! =)

Disse 2 awardene fikk jeg av Tino:





Tuusen takk, Tino - superkoselig, assa!! =)

Denne awarden fikk jeg av Ingidano:



“The blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearnessin space, time and realationship! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prices or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prices are cut,even more friendship are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eightmore and include this cleverly written text into the body of their awards.”

“Denne bloggen investerer i og tror på NÆRHET- nærhet i rom, tid og forhold! Disse bloggerne er usedvanlig sjarmerende og søte, og formålet er å finne og å være venner. De er ikke opptatt av utmerkelser og selvhevdelse. Vårt håp er at når båndene på disse utmerkelser er kuttet, vil enda flere vennskap ha forplantet seg. Vær vennlig å gi litt ekstra oppmerksomhet til disse! Gi denne utmerkelsen til åtte bloggere, som igjen må velge seg åtte nye. Inkluder denne teksten på utmerkelsen deres”.

Noe så flott!! Tuusen takk Ingrid! =)

Og tidlig i oktober da bloggen min var rykende fersk enda, kom det faktisk en award fra Beyla!




Tusen takk alle sammen!! Jeg skal tenke litt på hvem jeg skal sende de videre til...
Stor klem m


PS! Om jeg har glemt å finne frem en award nå kan jeg ikke annet enn beklage - og skylde på min web-analfabetisme... *ler*

Part 23. Like The Ravens Eye...

Like The Ravens Eye..., originally uploaded by mona.mono.

Taken in my backyard May 28. =)

I like the colour on the reflection in this little droplet. Kinda looks like an eye, I think. =)

Part 22. Blue Solitude

Blue Solitude, originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This photo was taken August 16. in my mother-in-laws garden. =)


I love the blue colour - and the sharp reflection in the droplet. =)

Part 21. On The Edge...

On The Edge... IMG_9401.CR2, originally uploaded by mona.mono.

Yet another rose... =) This photo was taken in my mother-in-laws rosegarden July 25.

I like how each droplet has it`s own little world inside. And they all keep their balance on the edge... =)

Some Hearts... <3

Live-klipp med Johnny Thunders fra 1989 - Some Hearts.



I Was Born To Cry



You Can`t Put Your Arms Around A Memory


R.I.P. Johnny.

Part 20. Oh! My house is upside down!! =)

Oh! My house is upside down!! =), originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This photo was taken - well - in my garden and of my house May 7. LOL

It`s cool that the house is so in focus! And that the dandelion covers the surrounding background of the droplet yellow. =)

Part 19. Blue Iris

Blue Iris, originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This one was taken June 1. in my mother-in-laws garden. =)

I really like the contrasting colours here - the beautiful shaded blue against the sharp green. And the extremely short DOF made a cool effect, as well, I think. =)

Part 18. Pink Delight

Pink Delight, originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This one was taken June 2. in my mother-in-laws garden.

I like the reflection and the "light" in the droplet and the texture of the flower. =)

Part 17. Sparkling raindrops! =)

Another rose - taken in my mother-in-laws rosegarden September 21. =)

The reflection in the droplet is so clear! And the other waterdrops makes that "sparkling" effect. =)

Part 16. Reaching...

Reaching..., originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This one was taken in my backyard June 17. =)

It is simple but nice, I think. And it`s cool that the droplet manages to hold on spite the angle of the flower! =)

Here`s a shortcut to the large version of the photo! =)

Broken Mouth Blues =)

Broken Mouth Blues - Nic Armstrong & The Thieves - video


Enjoy! =)

Part 15. A Drop of Flowers! =)

A Drop of Flowers! =), originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This was taken in my mother-in-laws garden May 28. =)

It was really difficult to get the reflection of the flowers and bushes in the background, to be visible and sharp in the tiny droplet. But I found the angle at last!! And I like that the reflection in the droplet shows a fully grown flower of same kind as the bud the droplet is placed on. =)

Part 14. White...

White..., originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This was taken in my backyard, August 17.

I could have zoomed in and cropped away a lot of the flowers to get the tiny droplets refraction more visible - but I really like the way the petals reach proudly for the sky. =)

If you want to take a closer look at det droplet - klick the photo and choose All sizes. Then the photo will open in a much larger version. =)

Part 13. Pale sweetness...

Pale sweetness..., originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This pale little rose was captured August 28. in my mother-in-laws rose garden. =)

It`s so delicate and tender... And the little raindrops add a little extra to the photo. =)

Part 12. Rosebud...

Rosebud..., originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This one was taken June 9.

The rosebud was just starting to fold out - and I like the way the droplet kinda glows, because the sun hits the bud in the back of the waterdrop... =)

Part 11. Pink!

Pink!, originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This photo of a pink rose was taken this fall - September 22 in my mother-in-laws beautiful garden. =)

Look at the details in the droplets! =)

Part 10. Heaven!

Heaven!, originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This is a cropped version of a photo taken July 29 in my mother-in-laws rose garden.

It`s a tiny droplet with a world of it`s own, on a beautiful rose. =)

Part 9. Yellow...

Yellow..., originally uploaded by mona.mono.

Part 8. The Top of The Iceberg

The Top of The Iceberg, originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This was taken June 2. in my mother-in-laws garden.

I love to play with very small DOF (Depth Of Field),
and here it`s just the top of the bud that is in focus! =)

Part 7. Lighten Up! =)

Lighten Up! =), originally uploaded by mona.mono.

Taken June 2. in my mother-in-laws garden.

I like the way the sun lighs up the droplet, and how the rest of the flower looks like flames. =)

Punk-friday! =)

Det slo meg at det er så mange som vokser opp i dag uten å kjenne mange av de absolutt tøffeste pønke-banda fra 70-tallet... Det er jo bare nitrist - spesielt med tanke på at veldig mange av dagens rockeband er influert av nettopp disse banda!

Så det måtte jeg jo bare gjøre noe med, sant? *ler*

So here goes! Enjoy!! =)

In The City - The Jam - deres første opptreden på TV, 1977


Art School - The Jam


What Do I get - The Buzzcocks


Ever Fallen In Love - The Buzzcocks


I Fought The Law - The Clash


God Save The Queen - Sex Pistols


Teenage Kicks - The Undertones


Here comes the summer - The Undertones


Get Over You - The Undertones - live


Barbed Wire Love - Stiff Little Fingers - promo video


Alternative Ulster - Stiff Little Fingers - live -79


New Rose - The Damned - promo video fra 1976


Whole Wide World - Wreckless Eric


-----
Her`s some of my favorite punk-bands from the 70`s. I think it`s sad that the kids today don`t know these bands, that actualy influences a lot of todays great rockbands. Enjoy!

Part 6. Pastels...

Pastels..., originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This was taken June 2. in my mother-in-laws garden.
I really like the colours in this photo, that comes from all the flowers in the background. It`s almost like a painters palette! Or like the Northern Lights swirling across the sky! =)

Part 5. A tiny world... =)

These flowers are SO tiny IRL - and the little drop IS just a tiny drop... =)

Part 4. Contrast...

Contrast..., originally uploaded by mona.mono.

This was taken August 17. in my aunts garden.

I really like the contrast in the flowers burgundy colour and the grey background. And the droplet adds a little extra to the photo, I think. =)

This photo of waterdrops on a white rose was taken July 27. - in my mother-in-law`s rosegarden. =)
