Last weeks in a short review

What would be a real Autumn if I were not sleeping sick at home?! So fall season is here and while I am drinking a lot of herbal tea and eating oranges, I wanted to show you some of my favorite shots from past few weeks. I done a lot of great stuff, I can' t resist to tell you more!

This is my little kitten which is not so little anymore!
 (3 months ago he looked like this )

I had a super great walk in forest full of mushrooms and
I had so much fun to take a photos of them!
Latvians are truly mushrooms pickers, we love it!  :)

A few weeks ago I had a little trip with my family to National park
next to cliffs where you can hear unique echo

One more picture with my family - next to manor where my mum used to learn.
This is so beautiful - to study in hundred years old building where used to live landlords! 

Every year at Autumn I start to think that this could be
my favorite season because of all of these colors!

My duke Shadow again.
Isn' t he a beauty?

I managed to take a little break from my weekly Saturday rush and
I had a tea with old friend of mine - we met in my student organisation years ago
and now we both are old and can make a little talk how new people are crazy :)  

One more dedication to Latvian Autumn!

Can't resist to show you this photo. Dark Knight 

And here is the cute kitten back again...

Time after time I make some Instagram worth pictures.
 I mean-photos of my food  :)  Queen size cherry ice cream it is!

One more of cat...

Last Thursday I went to see workshop of Latvian drummer Rick Fed. He is really good
as his show together with one of old Latvian pop-stars was really good as well!  

On Friday I took photos of Jonathan Kreisberg workshop and
concert later that night. Really nice performance!

This is last photo of Shadow this time - in his new bed he made by himself
(yes, that is bath and yes, my cat loves water)

Early Saturday morning started with big cold here so I get chance to make
 some 3 or 4 photos of frost. That time of year is there!

That frosty Saturday morning I took a part of orientation contest
 where the whole team needs to find given objects and to prove that - take a picture
 of at least one team member and the object. Here you can see almost
 all my team members - great friends since university times!  

And here - a duck in Autumn!

Have fun this Autumn and see you soon!  

Photo a day in January-4

Dear friends, This week I will offer you some really strange photos, in case you have weak nerves, please, be careful. For all others - Let's go!

January 20th - Music

Friend of mine from Tallinn, Estonia sent me a package with a CD of Estonian music. I was listening to it so many times like I hadn't hear a music for a long time..

January 21st - Warm

It was so cold outside that I had to pack myself like a little doll. At least it was warm after this dressing! :)

  

January 22nd - Decorating

My boyfriend told me that he would like to curve some stamps. On one evening I made a lot of drawings and he curved them out. Now I have a lot of new hand curved stamps and I can start to decorate different things. Like letters (I will write soon about my new "hobby", stay tuned!)

 January 23rd - Cooking
What could be better than cooking at home? Mmm....

 January 24th - Family
This is part of my family. I love my brother so much! And since we have "little brother" - our dog, my family is bigger now!

 January 25th - Old
This is photo of the greatest mailbox I have seen lately! I was walking around when suddenly I saw it - old building with new mailbox which was personalized in such a colorful way! Great job, don't you think so?

January 26th - Bow [bow-tie]
I little bit manipulated with title of this photo, but the idea is the same. Here are some of my bowties, which I will list soon (I hope it really happens soon...)

 Last week was interesting and full of different bigger and smaller things. That's why I didn't had time to prepare high quality photos like I usually do. Sorry for that! This week gonna be busy as well - today I have to shoot a big concert in National Opera house (I am very nervous about that) and at the end of week I have ball I have to attend, so I won't be bored at all. Oh, yes. To make it all more fun for me - I am ill. How cool is that?
Ok, take care and see you soon!

Photo a day in January-3

So it's here. Already 3rd week in this year and as [always] my week's photo review is ready for you! I won't talk too much, but I really would like if you take a look at my photos and any comment is welcome! :) Enjoy your winter/summer wherever you are now!

January 13th - Paper 
My morning breakfast - newspaper with tea and something to eat. Takes me almost an hour each morning but totally worth it!

January 14th - Toy
This is Mr.π [Pi]. He is my first gift from my boyfriend on our first Christmas. Since that he has been with me in each trip I have had. Mr.Pi's travel experience is quite big - Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia.

January 15th - Sweet
One of my favorite sweets I call Poo. Actually, it's really tasty - meringue cookies with chocolate crisps and almond in the middle.

January 16th - Hug
That's me and my boyfriend.

January 17th - Texture
Till late night I was scanning my postcard collection and decided to scan texture of my-my boyfriend's cardigan. He was surprised when realized that suddenly I have finished to scan postcards and I scan his cardigan :D

January 18th - Motley
We were cooking cupcakes. I don't care if that is old fashion, it still tastes good and my family tasted them!

January 19th - Shopping
So I was shopping. Guess what stole my attention?

Photo a day in January-2

 Another week has passed and now it's the right moment to take a look back what has happened within these days. In short - last week I had a lot of things to do and nothing to do. I have no idea what I did at evenings in workdays (except watching movies - Django and Star wars and so on). At least in the weekend I had a great time for the first time painting ceilings (3.5m high!)  at my friends from Etsy new shop and after that - meeting my good old friends and celebrating 1/4 of century age for one of them. Before this new week brings something new, let's see how the last one looked like in photos!

January 6th - Light
Monday, 6th of January, still no news from Snow.City is dark and Christmas lights looks funny without snow.

January 7th - Big and small
My arm used to be much more bigger than my little brother's arm. Now lately he has grown up (and that happens so fast!) and soon I will be little sister and he gonna be my big brother :) 

January 8th - Natural

Unfortunately somehow I have managed to miss Natural photo this week. I promise to be more accurate in the future...

January 9th - Dot

Dot. One more. And more. A lot of dots. Funny light dots on my way.

January 10th - Reflection
I love those little light reflections in windows at night. And look - there are red dots from neighbor skyscraper! 

January 11th - Shiny
Saturday night at my friends place to celebrate her 25th birthday. I love this picture, my friend is so shiny, smiley and good looking!

January 12th - Green
My dear friend, who is ready to take a long long walks even if it is freezing cold. And his green parka,  which reminds me of the start of our friendship :) 

My dear friends, enjoy your week and see you next Monday (I hope I will be able to tell you something interesting this week, but let's see)!

Photo a day in January-1

I am sorry. Last month I was busy and lazy. So I missed the whole Photo a day. For the whole month. Uh, that probably means I will never be a good blogger. For mistakes like this a real blogger loses a lot of followers, someone probably says.
But as this is my blog about what I think and I feel, I decided to keep challenging myself skipping one month. My December Photo A Day topics will be active for the whole January so stay tuned!


January 1st - Upside Down
First day of the year is not the best day for running marathon, so all my sporty activities were playing with light and shades wearing my sporty-cozy socks

January 2nd - White
Unbelievable but we still don't have snow. I am still confused about this. The only thing what can warm me up at this time is tea (from white cups or at least saucer...)

January 3rd - Star
Here in Latvia we have changed our official currency since the 1st of January 2014 from Lats to Euros. Our Euro coins are really beautiful and on them is picture of Milda - a beautiful Latvian girl which was featured on our first national coins almost 100 years ago. Milda shines on new euros like a star!

January 4th - Detail

Still one of my favorite models lately is this little beagle puppy called Joko[Yoko] (I think we should it Crocodile because of his hobby to bite). Yoko has so many details I love to take photos of. Can't wait for springtime with better lightning.

January 5th - Sharp

My family loves to take a rides to huge forest not far away. It is old military territory where are all kinds of nature - there are fields like in a desert, there are beautiful coniferous forests and real swamps as well. And between that all -  a lot of animals and birds (this time we saw 3 elks, hoopoe and place where just before we came wild boar were). While my brother took Yoko to a walk, I enjoyed untypical winter and made some nature photos. Here you can see a sharp branch :) 

Have a great week and take a lot of photos - of what you do, where you are or what you see. These are snapshots of your life!
See you soon with another stack of photos!

Use hashtag #akwiinas to tag your photos within this challenge or just link in comment section your Instagram profile or photo post, I can t wait to see!

Photo a day - End of November

November has passed unbelievable fast and now, when we all already have first days of December, photos reminds what I have done last month. Thanks to And Sew We Craft where I saw this November Challenge and so inspired me to join. Next month I will follow to next challenge, but more about that - right after my already 5th review of Photo a Day in November:

25/30 - Love (On Monday my BF surprised me with a beautiful bouquet. He usually don't do that so it was a really big surprise for me. Isn't it Love?)

26/30 - Reading (This is my letter I sent to Melissa, hope she liked to read what I have wrote her about myself, Christmas and my country)

27/30 - Favorite Space (Last week I visited this puppy twice. I am sure he enjoys his home and that's his favorite space)

28/30 - Stitch (Any sewer would show her last work or something connected, but my Top Stitches last week were those in my arm...)

29/30 - Pattern (I wish I could make some more photos of this cutie and his fur and nose and ears and paws...)

30/30 - Circle (This is another sneeky peek of package I sent to my Secret Santa [decor] swap partner, more photos coming soon!)

This was My November. Next gonna be My December, even more My than November!

On December I will follow my own made Photo a day list. Feel free to photo along me and share your photos (even if you follow other challenge lists)!

Use hashtag #akwiinas if you follow this Photo a Day list! :)
