Project 52: Week 31

Blue skies, hot weather. Not our typical Swedish summer but we’re not complaining.

As for the blue skies they are now new and improved! I bought a polarizing filter! I’ve never been good at taking photos outside and there are a number of reasons for that but one is that it IS tricky shooting in bright sun. Colors and the sky tend to look washed out and that so blue sky just isn’t as stunning on “film”. I just got the filter in the mail on Friday so these were a couple of quick test shots but I’m liking the effect! It can also be used to prevent reflections from water, glass etc so I can’t wait to try that too.

Have a good week!

So beautiful.
I love your photos so much.

Love the hydrangea with the little green Iitalla box peeking out from behind. Lovely shot.

Benita, is that a silver bracelet I spy? I thought you weren't one for jewelry (other than your locket)? Is it new? In any case, it's classic and lovely.

RC - It's fairly new. I saw it as a sample at work and loved it and when there was a sample sale the product manager remembered that I wamted it so she saved it for me. Everyone was amazed because I NEVER buy anything for myself at those sales and we have them quite frequently. Now I just have to start wearing it. It's been on once since May when I got it... It looks pretty there on the cabinet though :).

Love all of your photos and perfectly blue sky!

Intrigued by your knot bracelet - is it only available in Sweden?

[Emma]

I have a Georg Jensen bracelet with a know just like that, it joins with a chain clasp though.

"knot" not "know"!

[Carlos]

Sage - I think knot braceletes are widely avaiable. I did quick google search for "silver knot bracelet and found loads of versions.
