Finally edited the pictures from my cameras- only took a few days for the pictures of the cat but the others I’ve taken? Wow. Too long.
I will not post every pictures here in one post. That will become to much .
Click on them to make them bigger (the last two).
Top will be colors and under will be on black and white of the same pictures. Please let me know which ones you prefer. Color or BW?
I will make more posts with pictures I have taken so stay tuned 🥰 It’s a lot of photographs!
(This post was supposed to be uploaded on October 9th – my apologies! I fell asleep while writing the post on October 9th and October 10th was just a weird day)
So many places and so little time. Crazy how days fly by, and I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we are soon in the middle of October! Now that’s crazy!
(October 9th) The day started with a visit to the dentist, where they shaped/filed a tooth for me (fixed the problem I had) and asked a lot of questions about my headaches & migraines. They used a funny-looking “camera scan” to take “photos” of my teeth, etc. Crazy! NO MOLDING WITH THE NASTY PURPLE BLOB STUFF ANYMORE! Yes, I was happy when I didn’t need to do that. lol! It only takes 3 weeks to get the mouth guard done, so in 3 weeks I’m getting it. Nervous but excited! Praying to God that it will help me with my headaches and migraines.
The reason why I’m nervous is because when I was younger, I used to have a mouth guard. Well, one night. I had it on for one night and woke up the next day completely deaf in my right ear. My sister even screamed straight in my ear, but I couldn’t hear anything. This lasted for a month (luckily I got my hearing back!), and ever since then, I’ve been terrified of those. So I am super nervous, almost at the point of being terrified and scared (I know it means the same thing), but I need to try. If this mouth guard works, I’m going to get one I can wear daily as well. Mama needs a break from the pain, and hopefully this works.
“Have you tried this and this medicine?” Yes. I have tried literally every migraine medicine that Sweden has to offer, but it doesn’t work.
If the mouth guard doesn’t work, I don’t know what else to do. I have been looking into Botox, but I’m also terrified of that!
Now let’s move on from the dentist and my scares.
After the dentist I went home. Eat something, and look for the charger to the R10 LP-E17 battery charger. It was gone. Already yesterday. Luckily I had power in my batteries! Hint; they didn’t last for long.
They have shipped my new 3-in-1 “machine,” so hopefully by Tuesday it will be here. My 3-in-1 machine is a new charging station for my batteries, and I can also use and charge it with a power bank! Uh, excuse me? Take all my money!! The charging station will also work as a power bank for my phone! Wait, what!? That’s insane! So technically you can say it’s like 1000i1—not really, but you get it. lol!
No rainboots and ghost sound
Afternoon, I spent with my bestfriend. I actually had school but had meetings that made me not go to school for half an hour. I thought it was pointless. In school they were going to exercise—I don’t know why we would have that, but anyway—so I grabbed Elin (best friend), and we went out for a photowalk. Yup. I brought my cameras so she could use one (my faithful companion Canon 450D—Mufasa), and I used the R10. We took photos of mushrooms, and my goal with the photowalk was to find mushrooms on trees—with happiness I found some!
(October 10th input here; I was gonna convert the files so I could edit them but all off the sudden my memory card was gone and now it’s nowhere to be found!)
Back to October 9th; After the photowalk, we went to our place to have something to eat – Burger for me and pizza for Elin. Just laughing and talking. Having a great time! Time flies when we are together. Reels, jokes, games, gossip etc. Our hang outs are so different. Yes we play board games etc at restaurants (our restaurant) and just having a great time.
I love burned burger bun! Yes I’m weird.
We were supposed to go out and take pictures of the lights, etc., now with the colorful leaves on the ground and trees, but sadly, my batteries had died—all of them. I had 4 extra batteries, and each battery was supposed to last for two hours, but they didn’t. I need to look that up.
So we went to the grocery store. I bought my beloved soda I have been looking for. It’s rare, and I think they are discontinued now after this batch, which makes me so sad. It’s pure childhood memories for me. At least I got one bottle now 🙌🏻
Ghost sounds—this is funny! Me and Elin took a bus to the grocery store, and a man came on the bus as well, but while passing us, HE DID GHOST SOUNDS! I couldn’t stop laughing! Well, I guess he was practicing for trick or treat? Soon Halloween 🎃
What else? Well, I joined Michaela’s very first live on TikTok. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be on video with her due to it being her first time, and she needed to do 2 more lives with 30 minutes each before I could join her.
Now this was my Thursday and here we go with friday
Friday wasn’t interesting; I went and got my son’s stuff. ordered medicines, picked up the medicines, and went home. Sadly I wanted to go out and have a moment for myself—photography. I didn’t have so much “alone time” after I came home. Batteries were dead, and I also had to go pick up E from school, make dinner, etc.
After d/WordPressied my phone and wanted to transfer the camera files to the phone (my laptop is too weak for Photoshop and Lightroom, so I use my phone when editing), but all of a sudden, the memory card was gone. I had two, but the 256GB card was all gone! Nowhere to be found! So strange!
My blog/WordPress was acting so weird! All of a sudden I had a blog theme design I had no clue where it came from. So many sites had been added, media files etc. (if you read HERE and HERE (after panic!) you will know what I mean with this)
Yeah, so this was my Thursday and Friday. Not so exciting yet panicking moment. No anxiety attack though! Woho! That sh*t was scary and I never wanna experience that ever again.
Some photos I took (not all off them but some)
These was taken with my phone due to the fact I cant show you pictures from my memory card (still missing)
I am so happy now. Finally my domain name is working on the blog! It cost me a bit of money to upgrade, but it was worth it. Maybe change the design later? Hmmm.
Yes, I have noticed that my post before this doesn’t have a headline/title. I fell asleep while writing it. The eyelids were so heavy.

Hello Pumpkins 🎃 How are you on this cold October day? Well, I’m in bed right now. Doing some online shopping. The charger for my camera batteries is nowhere to be found, so I ordered a new one where I can charge three batteries at the same time, plus I can charge it via one of my power banks when I’m on the go! The happiness when I found that charger. It wasn’t expensive either, which made me happier.
Today I have actually been out in the cute woods behind where I live. I have lived here for three years, and today was the first day I went there. Insane!
But the day started with shopping and a meeting. I saw the wooden area when I was waiting on the bus and took pics to send to a friend of mine in New Zealand who also is doing photography. Well, let me say like this; the conclusion was – go and buy my very first rain boots ever! Scary! But off I went to the town!
Honestly, it felt so weird to have rain boots on. I didn’t have any when I was younger due to me having wide feet and high ankles, which made it super difficult to find, but now, 30+ years later, I own my very first pair!
You see in the top picture what the boots look like; therefore, they are 50% off! which made me super happy (my smile when I think about it is crazy)!
After the shopping I had a meeting; it went well! Nothing serious, just a simple meeting. Afterwards I went home and put my phone on charge plus the power banks. After looking out the windows, I knew I had to grab my stuff and go out! The sun was disappearing, which makes the light amazing when taking pictures of tiny objects, which in this case were mushrooms. Super cute!
Due to me having diabetes and knowing how fast my feet/toes get cold when it’s autumn and winter, I grabbed my winter socks. So I had two pairs of socks on me. Fit perfectly in the boots.
I used my R10 mostly but also took some photos with the phone and I thought of showing you guys here. Not all off them though but some. I’ll probably tomorrow fix the photos from my cameras and show you those as well.
For me, this woods was magical. I don’t know how to explain, it just was. I was so shocked and surprised when I saw how beautiful the woods behind my home was, I almost dropped my jaw onto the ground. Note that I HATE being out in the woods due to the animals and bugs.
Lately I have discovered that I enjoy macro and close-up more on mushrooms. Is it because it’s autumn or? I don’t know. Before I didn’t do that, but I have also noticed that my eye for details has sharpened! Crazy!
Yeah, so this is pretty much my day. I was not out for long, though; my mind went crazy and grossed me out thinking of bugs in my hair, etc. Especially after I found clothes in the woods, and I moved a pair of jeans, and it was COVERED in disgusting bugs. The panic was no joke!
So what is plus and minus for today ?
Plus; the bargain on the rain boots • the woods behind my home • photographies • meeting that went well! • I didn’t fall asleep in bed while the food was done by M (which is gigantic for me! Whenever I lay down in bed or so and put a blanket on either my shoulders or feet, it’s K.O. (knock out) so I’m happy that I didn’t fall asleep. • I managed to get my domain working
Minus; the bugs • the cold • discovered that someone had taken a screenshot of a snap on my story and later blocked me, so I don’t know who has done it. • finding a suitcase, one fancy men shoe and other clothes in the woods – made me uncomfortable.
How was your day?
I know I didn’t blog yesterday. I am so sorry! It was chaotic at home, but today I will blog.
Hi, hello, my beautiful people! I hope everything to fine with you all!
I have just come home from school (well, kind of; an hour ago), so I’m currently in the bath writing this.
Today in school, the classmates, two teachers, and I have been to the forest. Just because we are studying to be the pre-step preschool teacher, we had to go to the forest today. Just because the teachers go to the forest with children sometimes.
What did we do? We went on a walk and answered questions. Well, you talked with your mate you were paired with about them. Some questions were kind of weird, and I and AK (the classmate) pretty much didn’t know what to answer on some of them. One question was, “Have you been dead and had experience? What do you remember?” Like, how would I know that?
Such a weird question. Oh well, after that walk, the teachers spoke about Buddhism and how they do mandalas, blow them out after prayers, etc. So we had a mission to make our mandalas.Odd, but we did it. I took pictures, but I don’t think people want me to share that, but it’s all good.
After that we had a bit of lunch and talked, and I and S joked with one of our teachers (L). She drank water out of a syrup bottle, and I told S earlier for fun, “She drinks out of a syrup bottle. I bet it’s white syrup,” and I was right! Crazy!
Anyway, the jokes we did with the teacher (she joined in on the jokes) and said that we think it’s something else (vodka), and L laughed and said yes. So we continued and said it was mixed with some water so she wouldn’t get exposed. We all laughed.
So me and S went on with the bottle and L told us some funny stories etc. It was actually a fun moment in the forest (even though I complained a lot! Haha! I dislike being in the forest due to all the bugs etc)
After lunch we had an other activity (we did four activities in total during this class) and that was to paint, either something with forest related or feelings. I tried to make a sunset but that one failed extremely hard. I’m better to paint with pens than watercolors.
Fun part… or maybe not so funny, but S and AK were fine with it. I did some color splatter on my painting, and it accidentally came on AK’s bag and S’s shoes. I apologized so much when we saw it. I was so embarrassed. I even splattered paint on myself, my bag and the bench we sat on. Atleast I participated. Lol!
I had already told my teachers and classmates that I’m a photographer and a blogger, so they had to be prepared that I would take photos. I did. A few. Lol.
I’m not sharing all, just some. Click on the picture to see bigger/full size.
About my fingers (I will explain better in another post): my son has pulled my fingers so much when wanting to show me things or get me to follow him, so I have started to get problems with my fingers. Therefore, the sports tape on them keeps them “straight” and helps with the pain.
The bag in the last picture actually has a text on it, but I removed it due to it not being a kind text. No, I don’t have the text out towards people when I walk with it.
Yes, I have permission to share pictures of my classmates when we had the painting activity. I asked and told them I would cover their faces. They were okay with that except one student. which I respect, so she’s not in any pictures.
So the other day we went to the Golden Gate Bridge of Sweden. A beautiful location in my opinion but my man didn’t find it so fun.
it might be as “flashy” as the GGB but atleast its similar to it.
The drive was just about two hours which is okey. We were bored at home so I came up with the idea to go here because M has never seen it before and I wanted to share a moment with E.
one thing iam kinda “disappointed ” about this location is the view of the surroundings. Lol. I know i know “Emma, they can’t control the nature”.
Sadly I couldn’t take photos from different angles or from different point of view.
●● Now I have a countdown and alot to do! Iam going to Italy – ALONE! Scary! Iam very excited but also kinda nervous and scared. I will take a lot of photos ofcourse and I will blog if I find internet to keep you guys updated and come along with me on this trip! Woho!
What have I got myself into to be honest.. I love taking pictures but risking my life just to get few pictures.. Is it worth it? Maybe. Depends on situation. but to be honest, no.
When I went to my location to take these photos (below), I slipped and fell on big rocks. I managed to stop before hitting the big big rocks and water luckily. But I got hurt really bad and today I feel like a train has run over me.
I really didn’t even notice that I was bleeding until I by accident saw it when I was fixing settings on my camera. After I saw it I felt the pain . Not before. How crazy is that? Thank God I was surrounded with snow so I could make it stop bleeding fast.
Today; I can move my finger but it hurts really bad. The wound is pretty deep and big.
Was it worth though? No. For me it wasn’t. The pictures didn’t turn out how I pictured them in my head but it is alright. I had a tiny adventure.
One thing I often ask myself, Am I a nature photographer or just a person trying really hard? What is really the answer? For me yes iam one but for professional photographers etc I would just be this “girl with a camera trying hard”.
My dream is to become a good photographer. Having the right equipment so I could be able to travel the world and take stunning pictures. A girl can dream right?
National Geographic Magazine. Now that would be an achievement of life time. Unfortunately I know that would never happen but I have a goal and that keep me moving forward.
Hopefully in future I’ll be able to take other pictures without risking to fall, slip and hurt myself. Lol!
Goodmorning pumpkins! I hope you all are doing good this lovely Thursday 🙌🏻
im currently in thr bath, writing this. It’s freaking cold here in Sweden and due to my diabetes, my feelings in feets/toes aren’t the best so before I can put on my warm wool socks I need to warm them up.
Plans for today? Well I went to the Healthcare clinic two days ago, met with a doctor who said I have no virus so I’m not in risk to get anyone else sick.. so I guess im going to school. WITH CAUTION OFCOURSE! Before school im gonna go buy more supplies of mouth mask/ facemasks. It’s starting to go low at home. And I’ll also sit in the way way back in the class.
What else? Well i got one of my packages with camera equipment! Woho. My tripod, few filters and also the hand holder (instead of the big to hang around your neck) but unfortunately that hand/wrist holder was bad because I tried it while sitting at the table and it “broke” so luckily the camera was mounted on to the screws.
I had a photowalk yesterday while the sun was out. Unfortunately it was harsh sunlight and i do not like that. But I managed to fix some pictures though.
not the best quality online though. I’ll upload more on my Instagram and Facebook page. Through my eyes and camera.
Photography for me is my kind of relaxation. Unfortunately I went through some things the other day that made me decide to not take pictures in town and around buildings. I will tell you guys more about that later. It was a sad decision for me but I am still scared and haven’t been able to shake off what happened.
📸📸📸
the flu has struck..yes the flu has strucked in my household. Well it has attacked me and my immune..
No school for me today because I had 39.8°C in fever last night (the night til today) so I didn’t want to risk anything. Which ducked because I need to be in school. I can not focus at home, doing math and calculations.
So i decided to get dressed really warm and went out for a walk. I know i know “But Emma, you are sick!” yes I know iam but being inside all the time makes me insane.
so i grabbed my camera stuff and went out in the nature and captured some hidden gems. Unfortunately the sharpness and focus is bad on the camera but it’s fine for now. I only use to so I can re-learn the settings etc.
I wish I was able to make a cute copyright though to add on my pictures
I try the “gallery” function here on WP, let’s see how that works.
●●●●●●●●●
Fever, coughs etc. Luckily no one was out where I was taking pictures so I didn’t risk to get someone else sick. Yay! I have been outside many times (when energy) when sick but avoid areas where people are ofcourse. And now when I have the camera I can go outside for a walk (slow walk) and take pictures. Learn the settings plus working on my passion again.
My passion in photography has always been landscape, nature and macro. I have also always been interested in capturing stories with pictures such as visit an old and abandoned house with things left or something like that.. Unfortunately we do not have those here where I live. But I get to do the best of the situations and focus on the other “niches”.
I hope you all are doing good ! i apologize for being so quiet lately.

October 30th.. already. I still can’t get my mind follow the life time because I can’t believe it’s already November! now that is insane! and only two months ish left of 2024..
It’s very cold outside here in north part of Sweden. The ice is here and minus degree celsius as well. Insane! I’m not ready, not mentally or physically 😪 but here we go.
So i have been quiet in the blog for a few days. I have been super busy with school, meetings, son and his new lifestyle etc. It’s an all mess right now but im still here. I see your comments and love but unfortunately I can not answer them via mobile (it always crash for me when I do) so I’m gonna answer everyone of your comments and love TONIGHT! Looking forward to get connected with you all again 💕 Sorry for all this.
Whats new? Well my son has gotten a new lifestyle we all adjust to (it’s normal with autistic children/people to get medicines, new routines, structures etc) which is taking some time but hopefully it will get better soon. We have noticed a few changes on E since we started. He is more calm, not so much anxious, being extremely hyper etc and he can focus better in school etc which is amazing!
E has also learned to count to 40, sing a long songs with almost perfect pronouncing of words plus sign languages. He has found his love for big Lego again (toys). It is so much better and so much new things E is showing us and we finding out from everyone 💕 so proud!
How have you been?? Something new and exciting or just something positive that has happened in your life since last? 💕 Comment below. Let’s connect 💕💕
