I have always adored
dandelions. There's just something about them that makes them special. When i
talk about dandelions i mean when they are white and at the stage where there
pedals turn into little seeds, which will be caught in the wind and be blown
away forever.. I have always liked taking pictures of them, capturing that hope
and whit fluffiness that they contain. I went outside to take some pictures of
them today and get a feel for their hope. There is a 'myth' (if you want to
call it that) that if you make a wish and blow away the seeds, your wish will
come true. I love how the dandelion represents hope, and that they usually come
during the summer time. A time where there is sun filled days to be spent in
joy. Since they occur in the summer time and they symbolize hope.. i think that
they represent summer, in a way that summer is filled with hopes and dreams and
that is what the dandelion is all about.... I also did an art project on them,
because we had to choose something related to summer.. so i had to capture the
dandelion in an art form. Which was harder than you think it would be.. to get
the proportion size in the drawing just right was really hard, but it was fun
taking pictures of them and then trying to paint/draw them.
When i was little my
parents would take my brother and i into the forest to this little spot where
we would play 'i spy...'. We called it the 'the secret i-spy' place because it
was like a look out, an opening in the middle of the deep dense forest. I have
been meaning to go back ther ever since we moved back here in Norway. Guess
what...... i found it, today when i was wondering the forest! A lot of new
trees have started growing there and it is hard to tell that it was ever a
lookout spot.. but i know it was it because i remember when i was little there
were tree stumps that we would sit on while we were playing the game.
Today i watched some documentaries
that were on TV which were fascinating. I actually love watching documentaries,
because i am interested in the behaviour and facts about animals and nature,
(if you didn’t already know that) ;). There is also this other documentary that
i have and it is about the 'cosmos' and it talks about the dark science and all
that cool stuff! I love learning about that stuff, because then you view the
whole world in a different way. For example on the show i learned that when you
are moving, you are actually moving slower because you have to share your time
with space. But when you are sitting down, time is going faster, because you
don’t have to share it with space, (i'm sorry if that didn't make any sense to
you guys what so ever, but at least hopefully i satisfied all those scientists
out there) ;). I also watched this show called ' flying wild Alaska', which i
also fell in love with, because it show the lifestyle of people living in the
extreme cold. I have always wanted to live somewhere extreme for a few years
after my college experience, to do some research and stuff. Alaska, australia
and the Yukon (canada) have been some choices that i have been considering. :D
Also today i decided
to experiment with makeup since it's a good thing to do in the summer, cuz at
least today i haven't seen anybody yet.. :P
Anyways.. It is almost
time for me to start heading over to my soccer game so hopefully all goes well!
