My Obama love grows by the minute… barackobama: Jacob spoke first. “I want to know if my hair is just like yours,” he told Mr. Obama, but so quietly that the president asked him to speak again. Jacob did, and Mr. Obama replied, “Why don’t you touch it and see for yourself?” He brought his head level with Jacob, who hesitated. “Touch it, dude!” Mr. Obama said. As Jacob, who was 5, patted the presidential crown, Mr. Souza snapped. “So, what do you think?” Mr. Obama asked.

059//365 “Two seasons, one day” Average day in Stockhom this week: “Spring is here, wait, it’s snowing again. The sun is shining - but yet it’s still minus degrees.” I love this climate, it makes for some pretty stunning scenery too!
058//365 “Regal rambles” Today was dominated by a rather delightful ramble around one of Stockholm’s palaces in Ulriksdal. The grounds boasted a great (frozen) lake, a plethora of statues, breathtaking outbuildings, and of course, many fellow ramblers!
057//365 “Spring is in full swing” The sun is shining and many are claiming an early spring. Let’s just wait and see (and enjoy the glorious sunshine whilst it lasts!)
056//365 “Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus i chi gyd!” Today I’m celebrating St David’s day by spending the afternoon enjoying Dylan Thomas’ masterful ‘Under Milk Wood’ (as well as cooking up some leeks of course!
055/365 “Leap into Svenska” Today is leapers day, but I will spend it like most others this month: learning Swedish. Today’s image brings you a snapshot of the collection of books I’m trying to worth through this month. Oh boy.

054//365 “Come out to play with the fisheye” I seem to take a lot of images out of train windows these days, probably because I spend so much time commuting on them. Today was no different, apart from the fact I took the opportunity to play around with my Fisheye lens at “Helenelund” station. (The spaceship looking building in the background is a hotel, in case you we wondering!)
053//365 A little help if you please So you may recognise this image from earlier in the year in my 365 project. Well I decided to enter this image for a photo competition and it turns out that I am currently in third place! Today’s post is all about turning third place into first place and kindly asking all to vote for me (and reblog this post) to make it happen! All the info is here: http://bit.ly/AANDoj THANKS!
052//365 Peek at the setting sun The sunsets in Stockholm seem to be incredibly stunning every single day. I really can’t get enough of them and often enjoy sneaking a peek out of the window come setting time!

050//365 “Raise a glass to the happy couple” Today I received a nice suprise package though the post from overseas (Baltimore to be exact!) It was a delightfully blizzare wedding day commemorative moustache glass, bearing the names of the happy couple and the date of the big day! What a wonderful way to remember this momentous occasion - I can’t wait to toast to Ally and Paul with this lovely gift for many years to come!
046//365 “Fel tåg” I’m really enjoying being able to take above ground transport these past weeks, especially when the scenery is so stunning and there are seats a plenty! Today I decided to take my 365 image of the day out of the train window to celebrate this fact, which in turn distracted me from the fact that I had actually gotten on the wrong train, heading nun the wrong direction… Fear he not though, four busses later and much course reading completed, I was back on track!
