A day made for...

One of the most beautiful and hottest days in February.
Weekend and a taste of Spring. We`re talking T-shirt and 25. February!

A day made for rockin` experiences!

We need a CrashPad!

A day made for bouldering!

I took 600 shots in just a few hours.. credit?

I like to take pictures of my very strong man!!:-)

He took a couple of me too.. as you can see, I can still lift my 

old body from the pad. 

Well-dressed? Yes, I`m always well dressed, but that`s just nonsense..

it is always me who get sick.. T-shirt next time!!:-)

This always happen: Before we leave home, I ask - climbing shoes?

He just: I will not climb!

 Hm.. See!:-)

Sometimes it`s actually harder to get down than up..

And this was growing in my garden when I was bouldering.. nice?:-)

Snøklokker (english?)

Beginning of Spring!!

PsalmChallenge #50

God Wants True Worship

1: The God of gods, the Lord, speaks. 

He calls the earth from the rising to the setting sun.

2: God shines from Jerusalem, 

whose beauty is perfect.

3: Our God comes, and he will not be silent. 
       A fire burns in front of him, 
       and a powerful storm surrounds him.
4: He calls to the sky above and to the earth 
       that he might judge his people.
 5: He says, "Gather around, you who worship me, 
       who have made an agreement with me, using a sacrifice." 
 6: God is the judge, 
       and even the skies say he is right.


7: God says, "My people, listen to me; 

       Israel, I will testify against you. 
       I am God, your God. 
8: I do not scold you for your sacrifices. 
       You always bring me your burnt offerings.
9: But I do not need bulls from your stalls 
       or goats from your pens,

10: because every animal of the forest is already mine. 
       The cattle on a thousand hills are mine.


11: I know every bird on the mountains, 
       and every living thing in the fields is mine.
12: If I were hungry, I would not tell you, 
       because the earth and everything in it are mine.
 13: I don't eat the meat of bulls 
       or drink the blood of goats.
14: Give an offering to show thanks to God. 
       Give God Most High what you have promised.
 15: Call to me in times of trouble. 
       I will save you, and you will honor me."

It is the Rock..

Sometimes I wish I was a fisherman.

Picking up some fish out there in the pink.

Well, it`s probably some stormy days there as well, wich is anything but pink!

 I like to have something to hang in..

Count on my fingers

Count on steel,

stæsj and ropes..

It is the Rock I count on and trust!

I spend the weekend outside in what looks like - 

Soon Spring! ..the wind whispers to me, 

while I styding this little girl fishing..

 

Together, the hang there

waiting for new plans

new adventures

wich peak are we brought to next time?

Only the future knows..

I continue to enjoy my office view.., while I wait for the future..

PsalmChallenge #49

 5: Why should I be afraid of bad days? 

       Why should I fear when evil people surround me? 
6: They trust in their money 
       and brag about their riches.
7: No one can buy back the life of another. 
       No one can pay God for his own life,
8: because the price of a life is high. 
       No payment is ever enough.
9: Do people live forever? 
       Don't they all face death? 

10: See, even wise people die. 

       Fools and stupid people also die 
       and leave their wealth to others. 
11: Their graves will always be their homes. 
       They will live there from now on, 
       even though they named places after themselves.
12: Even rich people do not live forever; 
       like the animals, people die. 

13: This is what will happen to those who trust in themselves 
       and to their followers who believe them. 

14: Like sheep, they must die, 

       and death will be their shepherd. 
    Honest people will rule over them in the morning, 
       and their bodies will rot in a grave far from home. 

15: But God will save my life 
       and will take me from the grave.

PsalmChallenge #48

Jerusalem, the City of God

1: The Lord is great; he should be praised 
in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.

2: It is high and beautiful 
and brings joy to the whole world. 
Mount Zion is like the high mountains of the north; 

       it is the city of the Great King.

3: God is within its palaces; 

  he is known as its defender.


9: God, we come into your Temple 
to think about your love. 
10: God, your name is known everywhere; 
all over the earth people praise you. 
Your right hand is full of goodness.

11: Mount Zion is happy 

       and all the towns of Judah rejoice, 

    because your decisions are fair.


12: Walk around Jerusalem and count its towers. 
13: Notice how strong they are. 
Look at the palaces. 
Then you can tell your children about them.
14: This God is our God forever and ever. 
He will guide us from now on.

All pictures are taken around Mt Zion, Mt Olives and Gethsemane in Jerusalem.

Snow rose

A snow rose to you. Pic one!

 It is very typical! When we finally got lots of snow.. 

then I will have Spring!

Never satisfied..

What a life, I should be eternally grateful to live in this 

peaceful place.

I should be ashamed!

This picture was in the newspaper this week. 

I have not had time to read the article.

However, I took the picture of the princess last September.

One of the warmest autumn days ever!

It was not one of my favorite photos from this photo shoot.

Maybe this..

Or this..

The prinsess is Heidi from the blog Beautiful

She is a rose too:-)

We took these pictures on "our" beach

Well, I`ll try to enjoy the beach in winter colors too.

At least when the sky is blue I will look for snow roses!

Happy weekend to you!:-)

PsalmChallenge #47

1: O clap your hands, all peoples; 

Shout to God with the voice of joy.


2: For the LORD Most High is to be feared, 

A great King over all the earth. 

3: He subdues peoples under us 

And nations under our feet.

4: He chooses our inheritance for us, 

The glory of Jacob whom He loves. 

It was hard to find photos that fit this psalm. I may have used some of these photos before, but I do not remember and I will not check..:-)
Pic1: Happy people in streets of Jerusalem. Pic 2: Very random. Pic 3: The choice of photo is due to the sticker down to the right. Do you see that? Photo taken in the old city of Jerusalem.

21/100 Photo - Stars

Canon EOS 400D, 70 mm, f/4.0, ISO 400, 8 sec.

"God`s promises are like the stars; the darker the night the brighter they shine!"

David Nicholas

This is not a new picture (my old camera it is still alive. SpiderDan have inherited it), but I felt like posting it now. While I waiting for the sky to be anything but gray or white. Because I long to go out at night to hunt for the stars and maybe Aurora. Get some inspiration and energy... Millions of stars behind the clouds waiting for me and my Canon.

If you think it is a big star behind the clouds - it is the moon.

Who?

I read some blogs yesterday who wrote about the weather. Well, here is not (never) bad weather, but it is changing and dark winter days. It is easy to be weather sick in this country.. ah! Soon I will hunt for the Spring and I have forgotten that there is something called winter.
I was reminded of these great verses from Job. I have posted these verses before, but they are so good that they are worth posted several times.
Weather right now: -6 degrees, moderate breeze 6 m/s. precipitation 0 mm.
I think I might need a ride out into the night!:-)

Who?

bring water to unvisited fields,

deserts no one ever lays eyes on,

 Drenching the useless wastelands so they're carpeted with wildflowers and grass?

And who do you think is the father of rain and dew,

the mother of ice and frost?

You don't for a minute imagine these marvels of weather just happen, do you?

(Job 38:28-.., the Message)

Who?

Still good week to you, whatever the weather!
