The weather this summer has been quite mixed so far. Some days are cold and wet and some are simply sunny and gorgeous. On one of those days I went into our front yard to watch the bees and bumblebees enjoying the lavender.

Milestones: 2000
Yesterday I reached another milestone at Fotolia. The picture below marks the 2000th download. I took it last summer in our garden. Mom picked the blackberries and made delicious jam from it.

From the archives: Summer sunset
I was browsing my old files recently and got back to a CD backup from 2004 which contained this image. It was taken in the very hot summer of 2003 during a stunning sunset at the Baltic Sea. The picture was taken with my old analogue Canon Rebel and I believe my old 70-210mm lens on simple film (not even a slide...). But looking at it again brings back memories of that moment.

Milestones: 500
Things have been running slowly over here. I am busy with my main job, which leaves little time for photography. However, a few days ago I had some time to shoot some new images and upload them. The new images finally pushed my Fotolia portfolio over 500 images. Here are two of the latest images.

There are also more images in the Exclusive at Fotolia gallery. This one was shot with the upcoming summer holiday period in mind. Don't we all like to put up this kind of sign?? An english language version is also available here.
