The girls wanted to go for a walk with their dolls yesterday afternoon. Often I have to convince them to go outside, so this was very refreshing! 🙂 Once we are out the door everything is great, but the getting there can sometimes be… a bit exhausting. Anyways! The sun was out, so strolling through the neigbourhood we went. This is when I took the image above.

Family trip to Gruga this morning. We've been here dozens of times (come to think of it, it's probably rather hundreds of times) but we are still finding areas we have not exhaustively explored. I took out the 56mm 1.2 again. It is my favorite Fuji lens – besides the OG 35mm 1.4.

Someone left their trampoline at the park. I shot this image using my Leica 35mm on the X-T5 with an adapter, so the aperture reading is wrong. But focusing works better that I expected, though I still very much prefer the range finder for manual focusing.

Another Kidical Mass ride took place in Essen yesterday. First time the girls took their own bikes. Lumi cycled the whole distance (a bit over 10 km), Suvi hitched a ride (aka we loaded her and her bike onto the Tern) after about one km. I think that many people felt a bit overwhelming still.

Based on the images I post on this blog, it would seem that I only photograph my children from behind. Which is obviously not the case. 😊 But I like capturing the world form their perspective. With scenes like the one above, I usually take several shots, one of my children in focus, and another one – depending if it makes for an interesting image – focused on the thing they are looking at. (In this actual case, they were looking at an airship, but I couldn't get it and them into the same frame. Wrong focal length…)

We visited the zoo in Duisburg today. I don't know, I always feel heavy-hearted in these places, especially in the presence of the more intelligent/sentient animals, like elephants. Anyways, I think the kids enjoyed seeing some of these animals for the first time (aside from in books of course). Watching the little suricates being busy was their favorite.
