I will never be one of those people who whips out their camera in a restaurant to photograph their food, for instance, partly because I canβt imagine anything more boring than photos of food, but also because Iβm too busy eating it. And talking. And talking while eating. Oh, and WINE.
What was I saying?
Oh, yeah: when I actually do interesting things, I donβt really take photos of them, and I donβt always blog about them either, because there is just so much to say, and I get all overwhelmed. Also, I donβt ever post photos of my friends on the Internets, because I am all about respecting peopleβs privacy and not exposing them to strange comments about their hair or whatever. And then, when absolutely nothing of interest happens, I document it exhaustively, and refuse to shut up about it. Life isnβt fair, is it?
This is all my long-winded way of saying that while we had a fabulous weekend with my friends Stephanie and Nick, and their gorgeous little boy, Dylan, instead of blogging about that, today Iβm just going to show you a bunch of photos of that time Terry and I went for a walk with the dog last week. Back in the summer. The summer of β12: how we will always remember it, and talk about it, oh wonderful summer it was! Also, I wore clothes. Go me![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

04/02/2012you look fab x
And the frog is called Charlie π
Amber
04/02/2012π Are you sure that one wasn’t Jim?
Katie
04/02/2012Ah, Summer, how I miss it already.
The frog is definitely on at you about shoes. And even if it’s not, it couldn’t possibly hurt to buy a new pair or two.
Amber
04/02/2012I think I might just do that: just to be on the safe side, you understand…
Lili @ Relatable Style
04/02/2012We’re in this together, sister. The not blogging, that is, which would actually mean we’re out of this together… (I don’t ever post pictures of friends for the very same reason, but sometimes it seems like everyone else has a bevy of camera hungry friends?)
Also, very pretty pictures! Love the one with the grass so much taller than you π
Amber
04/02/2012I know! My friends would never speak to me again if I turned up with a camera every time I saw them, and then put the photos on the Internets! (I don’t blame them, either – I would HATE it if someone did that to me!)
Sandy
04/02/2012I used to Live Journal a lot and it was the same….I’d witter on about buying things or moan about stuff but as soon as I did something interesting all I’d ever give it would be 1 sentence!!
Loving the Rubin pic! Love your check capris too….alas my love of cakes means I don’t suit that sort of thing!! LOL!
Amber
04/02/2012I’ve always been the same…and the more I blog, the more things there seem to be that I can’t/won’t write about, so I just drivel on about nonsense most of the time!
Jenni
04/02/2012Great pics! I’m SO not looking forward to the snow, it seems mean to make us go back to winter wardrobes again :/
Anyway, just thought I’d let you know I mentioned you for this award: http://blossom.nu/2012/03/the-versatile-blogger-award/
I’m required to mention it to you by the mysterious rules π
Amber
04/02/2012Oh, thank you!
Amy
04/02/2012Here’s hoping that Charlie finds another pretty girl soon. His Kingdom won’t rule itself you know! Love
the pictures.
Amber
04/02/2012Lol! I fully expect Charlie to turn up on the doorstep any day now!
Steffi
04/02/2012That second photo of you looks like taken straight out of an edition of Vogue. You’re so gorgeous (she says, in a completely non-stalkerish way, honest). I love the fact that you always post pictures of yourself, you’ve got great style and Terry takes pretty darn good pictures, too π
Amber
04/02/2012Wow, thanks an amazing compliment, thank you! All credit has to go to the photographer, though π
Doug Byron
04/02/2012Hmmm. “that time Terry and I went for a walk with the dog last week. Back in the summer. The summer of β11: how we will always remember it, and talk about it, oh wonderful summer it was!”
The summer of ’11 was 3 weeks of glorious sunshine in April last year. Last week’s attempt at bringing it even earlier in the year must surely still qualify as being in 2012!
Amber
04/02/2012Oh dear, how embarrassing, I made a typo and now it’s immortalised forever!
Terry
04/02/2012Or foreva? π
Amy
04/02/2012doG I hope I never make one!
Terry
04/02/2012No Amber and I regularly time travel back to 2011 π
I hope you liked the blog post and pictures? π
Doug Byron
04/02/2012Of course. Especially Rubin running, with a massive doggy grin on his face! π
Terry
04/02/2012Yeah I never get bored of his big cheesy grin π
Nice to have you commenting on here π
Call me M
04/02/2012This outfit reminds me of Betty Draper from Mad Men. Of course I mean it in a good way! She’s really stylish and so are you!
The photos are once again really beautiful! Congrats to Terry for taking them, and to you for being his pretty model!
Rubin is adorable, especially in the 2nd pic! He’s so photogenic! It must run in the family! My dog doesn’t like having her photo taken.
As for the frog, my first reaction would be to scream, and run, but the shoes sound like a good excuse! hehe π
Amber
04/02/2012Well, I’m a huge fan of Betty’s outfits, so that’s a big compliment to me – thank you π
Tracey
04/03/2012It’s a sign, for sure. Buy shoes now. If not for you, then for me.
Panthera
04/03/2012Have to say again that I absolutely adore those capris, you look soo good in these pics (well, you always do, but still). And Rubin is awesome, as always π
The weather has retreated here too, we still have sun (until Thursday :S) but only about 5 degrees in the sun, and down to 0 and biting cold in the evening/night. It’s actually very unusual for Norway to have colder nights than days, we usually have the same weather throughout the 24 hour period, but now waking up at night is icy cold.
Still getting the most out of the sun with trips outside, though I can’t use my open shoes anymore.. We’re having our Easter holiday, so my boyfriend is home the whole week!
Hope you won’t get snow, meteorologists are often wrong! And happy Easter!
Erika
04/03/2012Lovely pictures, as always! And great post, as always! π

04/10/2012This post made me laugh, mostly the part about photographing food. I don’t do it very often cause i am busy eating too.
Anyway i really like your outfit ,it suits you and you look pretty.
Nice blog xx

04/27/2012The frog jumped on your foot? On. Your. Foot? Oh boy, I’m going to have nightmares about that now. Did I mention I have a frog phobia? Love the photo of Rubin though, he looks so happy. And you look gorgeous. But the frog jumped on your foot? They really do that? Just randomly jump out onto the feet of innocent passersby? Is this a Scottish thing? Because marauding foot-jumping frogs may make me change my mind about wanting to visit Scotland one day. *shudder*
