It's more the second option. I mean, these are normally taken during weekends, in places where I have to be, or simply when we take a walk somewhere. I normally carry the camera with me.
Take this last set, for example: My wife's father owns this small orange grove, which is placed right next to his country house. We had to be there for a family meeting and I grabbed the opportunity and shot these - if you check the EXIF info, you'll see that the time between all these 6 shots is of 14 minutes.
In the end, I can't say I go out of my way to shoot; I just grab the shots that come across me.
Anyway, glad you guys like these. Thanks! 👍

Thanks, Martin.
Changing houses is always a bumpy ride... But things are finally settling down. Also, it's a better city and (hopefully) a better job, so I'm excited.
Now I must begin preparing my stuff for the 2 week vacation to the east we have ahead of us.
Oh, and the helmet and boots are the gear I used in my previous job, when I was at the construction site - it was meant to be a "farewell" photo of sorts.

Loving the cat photos. I like the one with color the most though.

Initially, I wanted the D800, too. Especially since I come from a D200 body, which is more a more "pro" body, with better materials and ergonomics.
When the D600 came out, I was a bit skeptical about it: the price was too high for such a body. But then I had the chance to try one in my hands and thought it was actually pretty good. Not D200/D800 level, but honestly good. Also, the price started coming down in Europe and the price difference between the D600 and the D800 started to make more sense.
Also, I decided that, if I went for a D800, I wanted the "E" version (without the AA filter). It was all or nothing for me. But unfortunately the price difference for a normal D800 is huge and it's hard to find. This was the final nail in the coffin that made me go for the D600.
In the end, I decided to get the D600 and use the price difference to get some glass.
I've just came from a 2 week vacation in various Eastern countries and I can tell you that the D600 never let me down. It felt comfortable and the weight difference for my D200 was actually welcomed.
Having said all this, if money was absolutely no objection, I'd have a D800E, yes.

Indeed, the filter is the problem with the D800. It'll cost me about 1950€ to get the D600, the Nikon grip and 2 extra batteries. The D800E on it's own is like 900€ more than that. 
Edit: oh and my 35mm DX lens will work just fine on the FX frames! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkvsh3IFRLg yay

I bought mine for around 1600€, online. This was in December.
Just a small tip: the D600's battery life is excellent. I couldn't live with anything less than two batteries with my D200, but I with the D600, even when using the camera all day during vacation, I never depleted the battery. It would normally be good for 2 whole days.
If course, if you use liveview, AF and VR a lot, the battery drainage will be quicker, but even so, I'm not sure you'll need the two extra batteries right now (and the grip, if its purpose is to hold the batteries).
EDIT: I actually bought a 35 1.8G in Hong Kong for my father's D3200 and yes, it works OK on full frame. But only when used with bigger apertures and when focusing on near objects. For example, focusing at f/8 on infinity will show very pronounced vignetting.
