The past ten years have been a hot mess. Getting two degrees, our first appartment, my first job, moving 40km away from home, our first house, a burnout, a dog, a break-up, a tinder account, a new appartment and a fresh start all while travelling from pillar to post, maintaining a social life, get enough sleep, pay my bills and remember to make dinner before 10PM. Adulting is weird. Still not sure how I get to be unsupervised all the time. Or how I am staying alive. Soooo ready for those dirty thirties, baby. Bring it. ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰

Summer around these parts

With August rolling in, announcing summer is approaching its end, my thoughts are already with fall. I’m thinking about infinity scraves, wool cardigans, cosy sweaters and boots. But nature reminded us that it’s not time to pull those things out just yet. We we might even reach 25ยฐC later this week, so that means I have been nagging my dads ears off for full on royal bbq. I’m making the desserts! 
I have done a few posts about my surroundings before (here and here), and have been told many times by readers how lucky I am to be living in such a green environment. Although I’m an avid citytripper, I’m not much of a townsgirl. The noise, the crowds and the grayness of things are too overwhelming for this country girl. That’s why a few days after I returned from New York, I went into the green to snap some photos. I came across one man and his dog near the lily pond (photo 3). He complimented me on my camera and I petted his Border Collie. They seemed to be the only ones in the woods with me that evening, because I didn’t meet another soul untill I reached the nearby prison and its old chapel. I could hear the voices of the inmates and guards, but after a lonely cyclist, there was no one to be seen. I like to shoot photos of the old guardian houses and the chapel and always send them to our local archives. This time, they choose the photo of the bench you see above and put it on the website. I used my 50-300mm lens, since I was mostely taking close ups from afar like in photos 1,2 and 5, but the 50-300mm lens didn’t work that well for photographing the bench and chapel. I’m still not fully over my astonishment about how sharp this lens is at full zoom. Would you just look at that? While I had been petting that Border Collie before, I could not leave to stroke my camera a few times after I saw these photos on my computer. My sweet baby. 
So, since summer hasn’t left us yet, I decided to don myself in a summery outfit, namely my mint jeans and a new cobalt blue sheer top, make a raspberry smoothie and nagg for that bbq some more. I’m still making the most of it, eventhough our sky currenlty looks grayer than Gandalfs hair and the rain that fell last night may or may not be the reason why there’s a firetruck pumping out the ditch across the street. Hooray for summer. How many more days untill the end of the week? 
xo, Nikki

    your pictures are simply stunning. i am also counting the days down to fall – there is something so extraordinary about cable knit mittens, a hot cocoa in hand while wearing your favorite wool jacket.

    i just left the city of chicago – my old home town, while i love it dearly there is something so special about coming back home to the smokey mountains of tennessee…so peaceful…so quiet. i adore walking the paths with only myself and my camera (penelope is what i call her). there's nothing quite like it ๐Ÿ™‚ i can see that you appreciate the simple things like this as well.

    Its raining so much where I live that it hardly feels like summer at all.

    Fall sounds nice, though. Scarves, boots, and coffee please!

2021... What. A. Year. A break-up in spring. My 2021... What. A. Year. 

A break-up in spring. My life in boxes in summer. Moving into my appartement and returning to my job full time after two years in fall. My first dates in winter. All while living between lockdowns and vaccinations. Four stormy seasons finally coming to an end.

Starting 2022 completely clueless, but with nothing but curiosity and a craving to find out where life will take me in the next 365 days. 

2022, LET'S DO THIS. ๐Ÿ™Œ

โœจHAPPY NEW YEAR โœจ
