My youngest is very eagerly pointing at something that he wants his sister to see. Perhaps some birds on the nearby lake?
My kids are growing up so fast. This was taken in the summer.

Taken at St John’s Eve, my son seemed to be attracted to the bonfire. A second later I was running to stop him from getting to close.

This image is a part of the X/52 project for the theme “Midsummer”. Be sure to check out the picture from Line titled My Way as well.

This weeks theme for the X/52 project is “Portrait in black and white, on a bench”. It doesn’t get more specific than that I guess. Portraits is not what I usually like to publish on the net. I take a bunch of them, but consider my friends and family private, and not something I share willingly with every stranger on the net. Because of this, I found this weeks theme challenging. I started with portraits of my kids, but will put those on the wall, and not on the net. The week neared an end, when an opportunity presented itself today and I took it.

This is a very lucky guy who met a beautiful girl ten years ago. He married her, got kids, and loves her more today than ever.

This weeks theme for our growing photochallenge X/52 was “Silence”. As a father of two, silence is not abundat like it once was. There is almost always something going on. Laughter can quickly be transformed to cries, while running is tranformed to fall. It can be exhausting at times, but I wouldn’t want it any different.

This is my youngest, taking a well deserved nap after a long morning. Nothing as peaceful and quiet as a baby sleeping.

First weekly picture in a project “52 pictures” (it needs a proper name), where one picture is published every week for the whole. 365 next year?
You can find more info on this project on Geir Ertsgaard first contribution The Dark Season.

The wrapup: Each week we will publish one image taken in the same week. Each week we will have a new subject/theme/keyword. This weeks theme was “Darkness”. At least, that is my interpretation of the norwegian word “mørke”.
