The photos for today and the past two days :)
January 27
This is our shoreline, what we see when we leave the house and walk 20 steps to the left. I love this view of lava rocks and wild ocean - and the slight layer of snow just adds to it. The ocean is always a bit wild around here when it slams against the rocks - even if it's calm further out.January 28
We went to the library for the first time yesterday. I've been meaning to take the girls, but it's open at odd hours and not the same hours every day, so I usually forget. Yesterday, I was quite determined and the library was open from 4-6 pm. The girls loved it! We sat in the children's section and I read a few books to them, they sat for a long time looking at books themselves - and then they got to choose a book each to take home. I also got one - and these are the books we got. Matthildur got a really cool Icelandic children's book, called Heimsk Ringla - which is a play on the title of a very famous book from the viking ages. Lovisa got a book about how the earth came into existence and life on earth until the Roman Empire. And I got a novel by and Icelandic author which I've wanted to read for a while. The girls made me promise to make this a weekly outing on Wednesdays :)

The month is almost over and I haven't missed a day yet - sometimes I almost do, like tonight. That's when the cat comes in handy. He was playing on the kitchen chairs when I remembered that I hadn't taken a photo yet today. So armed with the camera, I went to check it out - and I got the same look as I get from the girls when they want me to stop with the photos already LOL The look says it all: Get this thing out of my face!!

Wow, the photo from the ocean. I live fare out on an iseland my self, but we don`t have any lava rocks ;) It`s an amazing shot!
Oh, if I had that view of the ocean I'd have to be out there with my camera all the time and I'd never get anything done--even if it is cold. The cat does look a little aggravated. I like the frames on all your pictures. I also enjoy reading your journaling about your life there. Very nice.
Great photos! LOVE your view! And the photo of your cat is awesome!
Super wild ocean shot, and love the tight cropping on the cat pic.
