Young boy with a VERY strong....

Little boys are incredible creatures. Mine has kept me gong for 21 years. I hope he grows up eventually. (Mine also had a hatchet and was very good at cutting kindling.)

Hihi, I actually HOPE my sons will keep me busy forever :o)

Great photo. You'll have to take him camping so he can chop some kindling for the fire.

He would love that :o) Will do that next sommer, it is getting VERY cold here brrrrr :o)

Reminds me instantly on "Careful with that axe, Eugene" from the Ummagumma album by Pink Floyd ;-)
I like that you make sure he don't hurt living trees :)

Hey, cool, Pink Floyd :o)

Lovely picture. I like the innocent expression on his face and the tender, but sure way he's holding the axe.

LOL - he actually is so sweet that little boy.... And it is so funny how he falls in love with "his" things.... He takes soooo good care of them :o)

If he doesn't get close to living trees, he must be doing autopsys !! ;-) Sorry, mom and bro are pathologists :-)

Beautiful picture (a bit more space on the top, perhaps ?). With the cap and the boots he looks quite the lumberjack.

LOL - I have actually been told that he is going to be a doctor ;o) Time will tell - I agree about the space - I was running around with my camera and am afraid that this shot just came out like this BUT I like his expression so - here it is :o)

beautiful picture !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Rosi :o)

he's so gorgeous :-) he'll be proud of his real axe for a very long time to come.

I really think so, he is SO proud of it already :o)

I agree with Juan Carlos, a tiny bit more space at the top. He is such a sweet person, seeing him with an axe is a paradox if ever I saw one. Say hello to him and tell him (and the others) that I look forward to seeing him/+ + + + again, here or here or just anywhere.

Thanks Guðrún AND there is a (turning over to Icelandic) póstur á leiðinni til þín um leið og ég næ andanum :o)

Ég vissi ekki að neinn gæti haldið niðri í sér andanum svona lengi.
:)
Nú er skrifborðsplatan komin á sinn stað. Slípaði hana þangað til hún var orðin eins og barnsrass og bar á hana dýrindisolíu í gær og hún er svo falleg að mér leið eins og gamla daga þegar maður fékk ný stígvél sem voru einhvern veginn svo falleg (í einn dag eða tvo) að maður vildi helst hafa þau við rúmstokkinn. Svo kom næsta pollaveður og þá þurfti ég að búa til stíflur út um allan Sogaveg. Sem sagt, ég er mjögánægð. Þykir þó leiðinlegt að þurfa að bíða svona lengi eftir að hún jafni sig, og þá þarf hún víst nýja umferð. Mjög misjafnt hvað dagsskammturinn af þolinmæði er stór hjá vissu stjörnumerki.

Great capture Ragnheidur! Great story too!

Life in the woods. I can't remember how many times I cut my fingers with my pocket knife.

Úff, I hope he will not cut his fingers with his axe :o)

Skemmtileg mynd af guttanum og smellur alveg í svarthvítu :o)
Virkilega flott dof...

Takk, þessi linsa (85mm F1,2) er hrein gersemi þegar að DOF kemur...

We Dutch have a proverb that goes like this: 'give a kid a hammer and everything turns into a nail'. I have a feeling he will add a new proverb to the Icelandic dictionary :-)

Bwahahaha - fits him PERFECTLY :o)

Outstanding portrait

Thanks :o)

With this tool nobody can resist him ;-)

I actually NEVER can ;o)

Great DOF and grain.

Thanks, it is actually thanks to the lens (85mm F1,2 Canon) which is superb....!!

algjörlega laaaangflottastur þessi elska
kv.
Tinna

Æ ég veit, algjör ljjúflingur (sem er algjörlega að taka móður sína á sálinni varðandi utanlandsferðina yfirvofandi úff)

Well, cool story! Luckily he didn't ask for a chainsaw!
LOL

Muhahaha, I do not ALWAYS give him what he wants :o)

I see... So is he doing the firewood for the winter then...?

Jebb :o) The only reason he got the axe ;o) :o)

brilliant !!!!

Oh, he is :) thanks.

and you Shine !
so ...
perfect family in the ice ;-)


Shine on !

Seen in my account recent activity (?)

Icelandic children - as wild as their homecountry (reiterating stereotypes again, I know, but seeing your beautiful pictures I can't help it).

Hihihi, you are nice... thanks.

So lovely...

This little boy sure is... well IMHO :o)

Er þetta litli skógarhöggsmaðurinn? ;)

Já, alveg robboðslega glaður með öxina sína, sko hann vill helst sofa með hana hjá sér :o)

wow ;)

:o)

Skemmtileg mynd og skemmtileg saga :) Þú verður nú að leifa stráknum að höggva niður eitt tré :) lol :)

Já er það ekki bara.... Hann væri fljótur að taka mig á orðinu og höggva næsta sjáanlega tré híhí... gaman að "sjá" þig aftur Gussi :o)

I hope he does not take it to the bed in the evening.
Funny what you find in bed sometimes when they're sleeping ....

Nice B&W by the way.

I know :o) and he HAS asked for it LOL...

I picture a George Washington inspired caption: "I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet."

:o)
