A Small Visitor and Fall Colors
[Written 15 October 2012]
My uncle and his wife went on a childless trip for a few days, and we agreed to entertain their younger cub for a Sunday afternoon to give the other caretakers a bit of a break.
Before our little guest arrived, Anna decided to make coconut-balls (kókoskúlur) from a recipe she got from a friend the day before. (Oh, and during an epically productive day the day before that, Anna got her hair cut short to make combing it easier.)
Our visitor hanging out on one of the swings while the two siblings dig into the sand.
The fall colors were busy being brilliant!

It’s hard to get flattering images of people on swings.

Ok, I think I want to buy a macro lens. Any recommendations? 🙂 I’m a Canon person…
The white berries are always pretty.
Colors colors everywhere!
One part seems to be in denial about winter approaching.

Time to go inside and…
… eat some bread and…
… coconut-balls!
The recipe for future reference. It contains butter, sugar, oatmeal, cocoa, vanilla extract, coffee, and coconut flakes.
After out little visitor had gone back to her temporary home-base, I went out again to take more leafy pictures.
In transition.

Another marker for the epically productive Friday we had: Anna got a new bike (on sale), with 26 inch tires, because she’d outgrown her 24 inch bike. Bjarki was a little bummed he didn’t get a new bike too, because he’s stuck with his sister’s ‘leftovers’. Poor thing… 🙂
