I mentioned in my delicate colours post, that I originally went out to find the orchids –
– but they were not yet there. I guess it has been too cold a spring for them.
The yellow archangel is another favourite in May – lightening up the forest shadows. Just like angels should.
When I silently reached the wetlands the air was filled with nightingale song and…
…my heart was filled with bumble bees.
I was not alone on the hike, several elderly couples were out with backpacks of ”fika” – the best Swedish word ever…
This boardwalk leads over the orchid fields – but the only flower to be found yet, is another beauty –
– bogbean or buckbean. I find it almost as lovely as an orchid anyway. It will be my closing image before returning home again on the dirt road. Getting hungry now!
And…it is not me who’s been running over the furrows…

Super photos …so lush and beautiful 🙂
A beautiful day! Thank you.
It’s easy to appreciate why the yellow archangel is one of your favorite. Such an interesting and beautiful flower.
Thank you, Steve – it is the light in all shadows.
Orchids or not, you took us on a beautiful walk. Thanks!

Thanks for introducing me to the word ‘fika’. My world is now richer imagining people engaged in the ritual, the grace of the meaning of that word.
Well…it is so typical Swedish;-D
No orchids but a lovely walk nonetheless. Stay well.
A lovely morning – yes, you stay well too.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Welcome!
