And just like that August has past us by. I've enjoyed my little August break. Posting a picture a day, no words, has been the welcome change that I've needed while we've been quietly trying to work out how we all fit together now that we are a family of three. Add to the mix a trip to Vienna, a wedding, two birthdays and a business trip away (for Matthias) and you have one very busy month!
Taking a step back from the blog also let me focus a bit on just taking pictures again. I have a new toy - a big, new fancy camera body - which I'm absolutely loving. I still haven't quite got a handle on all it's features, but every time me and "Bertie" go out on the streets, I learn a few more of her tricks and I fall even more in love with her. So I've spent a lot of August adjusting to motherhood and taking thousands of pictures of Emilia with my new friend, Bertie. But between times I've also been quietly reading blog posts here and there keeping track of what everyone has been up to. Having said that, I'm really looking forward to properly catching up on what everyone has been up to over the next week or so. Thank you to everyone who has commented over the month, all your comments were read and appreciated, even if it's been a little quiet around here.
And with August behind us the weather round these parts has definitely turned towards Autumn. There's a crispness in the air in the mornings and a chill at night. This really is one of my favourite times of the year. I find myself happily thinking about scarves and woolie tights and cosy jumpers while still savouring the last of Summers offerings. Warm afternoons spent on the balcony reading or walking in the park. Bare feet. Ice-cream. And with the weather change I've picked up my knitting needles again, but this time I'm knitting something for me.

First day of spring here and enjoying the sunshine.
I'm enjoying your blog very much and watching your little one grow. Look forward to lots more posts from you.
Always Wendy
I love the crispness in the air in the fall!
As much as I've loved August Break - it is so good to hear your "voice" again in your post. Like you I'm ready to catch back up with everyone.
Gosh, I feel like you just recently started posting photos and only photos. I can't believe it's September already and the summer has almost reached its end. It's good to hear that you've enjoyed this time and it's helped you adjust to all that life has brought you.
looks like bertie takes some nice photos! hope all is well with you and the little one :)
Wonderful photos! I love what Fall brings, it's refreshing and renewing at the same time :).
I am so impressed you can knit and be a mum to a new baby too! I think I could barely get dressed in the first few months. What is your new camera? what is bertie? very intriguing
