Sometimes, when we wake up, we are surrounded by mist. It seems that nature enjoys being touched by the clouds – everything moves slower, the sound is damp and the colours are softened. We always head to the lake to be part of the morning mist. We love being in nature’s atmosphere.

The seagulls in Tromsø are very cheeky. They will eat food right out of your hand. I always thought seagulls to be pesky birds – always squawking and stealing food from the ducks – but after these pictures I have changed my mind. Seagulls might be pushy but they are also beautiful.

As we rounded the mountain towards Senjahopen on Senja island we were presented with a beautiful introduction to this little coastal town. We had to stop so I could take this picture (and so Moose could answer the call to nature.)

Moose (my hubby) is teaching me how to use my camera. I am shooting straight north to Kvaløya, an island just off Tromsø, on my Nikon D50. For this shot I had to lay on my belly in the dirt. No Photoshopping – this pic is straight from the camera. So… what do you think?
