I am still around

When walking outside, there is always something to see
The deer in my surroundings have not travelled to the mountains yet.
They are here even in spite of the heat.
 I took the first picture of this quiet eating deer.
 I thought I would leave it peacefully alone and
 took a walk to look at the birds around the water where I live.
On the way back I looked carefully if it was still here
 and yes inside the trees it had settled down to rest
Very nice to be close to these animals.

As the rest of Europe we have had, a very, very hot start of the summer.
It was really like spending all time in the water or sea or shower.
Not to mention to go to work in these conditions. 
We had to have the aircondition on all the time.
 I have never experienced such a heatwave
Of course I have spent many, many years of my life in Spain and Cypruz
 with the same heat but still different 
I think the beaches and the cool Mediterranean wind  makes it liveable.
I have started my summer holiday(6 weeks) two days ago .
Such a wonderful feeling after all this  -Covid and so on.
It will be good to rest/disconnect and gain energy  to what is coming in the fall
.
Life goes on and we manage to live with all conditions.
My plans and what I m doing is searching the net for a good camera.(Nikon D850)
I was planning to buy one  on Japan Photo or Scandinavian Photo
But  because of the  closed borders there are no new items on sale
 Looks like all the citizens of Norway this year are planning 
their holidays to Lofoten and nearby(Photo from Flakstad down under)
Of course you need  a camera  to such beautiful surroundings 
So nothing new smart things for me but I am searching 
on the used marked hopefully I can buy one there.( I still have my old one )
Otherwise nothing new to tell-
My days are quiet and lazy
 Enjoying my own company,books and movies
Hope life treats you well
I wish you all a great summertime!

  1. Hermoso paisaje, que lo disfrutes en tus vacaciones así como la nueva cámara en caso de que puedas comprarla. En esta zona del levante español de Alicante también empiezan las altas temperaturas aunque de momento se pueden llevar.
    Te deseo buen resto de domingo.
    Un fuerte abrazo Ani.

  5. Dear Anita!
    Your photos gave me a lot of joy. I love animals. I've never seen little reindeer. They are wonderful.
    I can only admire deer, they are also very beautiful creatures.
    The first days of June were sunny and warm. Heavy rain has been raining every day for two weeks, and there are hailstorms.
    I miss traveling but because of the epidemic I don't go anywhere.
    I wish you a wonderful vacation, rest and planned purchase.

  8. "My days are quiet and lazy .... Enjoying my own company, books and movies," to quote the young lady from Bergen.

    Me, too, says Fram.

    It is good to know you and your deer are safe and well. Life is slowly returning to pre-coronavirus days here, but most are expecting the virus to make a return visit with more ferocity in the days ahead. Who knows?

    Good luck, Anita, at obtaining your Nikon D850 and enjoy your freedom away from work ....

    1. Thank you Fram!To say it so, I meet so many people at work that I dont need to socialice-And it is also the Virus.It is not gone but what happened to it??I dont know but we have ca 1o on hospital -no one in respirator..The say only 1% of the norwegians has had the virus so they expect it in fall..I say as you who knows??
      But I still would be careful-No one knows who it will hit..Must be something with the Gens or Dna ?The medicine Deksametasonnatriumfosfat tablets can help those very sick and most of us have had the medicine in the form of eyedrops Spersadex (to reduce Anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic.)and it is cheap too
      But I dont know they say something new everyday just to make us calm down
      Me, I have forgotten all about the virus..
      I really hope you enoy your summer too..I see you are a very busy man!I wish you will take some photoes of the cano trip with you friends

      Happy summer to family and you!

      See you around!

Tiden vil se.Har kjøpt 2 bom otikk kjøp på det brukte markede så nå vil jeg vente til de har på lager i Oslo.Var en tur i går og så Gråhegren og sin unge på den gamle plassen jeg fotograferte for mangen år siden(jeg lå i buskene og spanet da med en Tamron 18-200)Det var kult å se disse fine fuglene igjen
    Ja airconditioen viften fungerer bra, men er vel litt kaldt på soverommet så har snudd den mot veggen.

    Humle boet døde ut da vi hadde en kuldeperiode
    Nei det er helt stille fra fuglene i luftkanalen.Jeg jobbet så mye da tror de er fløyet.Ingen fuglelopper heller men jeg har stappet igjen hele luken
