…for worse…

Summer is Here
…and Mille’s beach is empty. But I love it best before all the summer guests arrive. The temperature is heading towards 30 degrees C, and yesterday we went to our summer cottage to cool down. No rain in sight…only hot winds.
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day in Sweden, and we will celebrate my mother with a tasty lamb dinner. Until then – some summer photos from yesterday!
Totti spending some water time…
Hiding in the buttercup field – a pheasant
We spotted two eagles hunting
And then – always feeling welcomed by the natural inhabitants!
With the sun going down, we wish a Good Night to you all!
WPC: Evanescent
Northern Ireland, the North Coast, the beginning of May. Everyone told us just how lucky we were…sun, no wind, 20 degrees C. ”The finest day this year”, our landlord told us. Evanescent.
CFFC: All One Colour
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: All One Color
House façades are interesting, and so are ”ground façades” – these almost of the same colur. The house in Spain and the ground in Morocco.
– but in the header, Spring Green is a must!
B&W Sunday: After and Before Y1-04
Today I will try Paula’s (Lost in Translation) challenge: ”After and Before” – new to me, but sounds fun! I have used this ”before” picture before (!), but when I posted it I was thinking… it might look good in B&W as well. Which one do you prefer?

Travel theme: Earth
Earth Day. I listened to her, as I do every day, but as this was a very special day, I walked with all my senses, even more intently listening…
Planet Earth is mostly water – the Blue Planet. Today was a lucky day, because the blue was clear and intense – in the skies as well as in the water on the ground.
And the tiny wood-sorrel made last years’ leaves look green and fresh again…
…maybe not all of those leaves were that lucky, but slowly drifting in a fresh pool is beautiful as well.
Like the clouds. They all meet here – the sky, the clouds, the earth, the trees and the water.
We all belong here…to this planet and in this world and in this universe…
I believe all of us know…and my best friend knows it too. He felt so good today, running around, bathing and frolicking in the leaves…
Howling when he was told we were walking again…
So, this day, Earth Day, has been a beautiful day of belonging and pondering about what we have and how grateful we all should be.
We are not here forever…only for some short moments we can dance in the light. Let us take good care of each other, and of our Planet Earth – we want our children and grandchildren to feel this gentle belonging and the joy of life…and above all, it really is the animals’ and the plants’ planet, isn’t it. They were here first. We are responsible.
Wordless Wednesday
Anemonies, Anemonies…and Me!
Thursday Thoughts – Easter Rain
Rain, rain…Easter Rain. But inside, indoors – there is much to be seen and contemplated this week of exhibitions and art work. And good food, and good thoughts. I will be spending this week with my children and plan to visit some nice exhibitions as well. In fact, some of my photos will be up too. Exciting…
More reportings from the exhibitions later…
Wishing you all a Happy Easter!
Thursday Thoughts – Today I Finally Met Arthur!
Maybe you have heard of him…Arthur, the dog who crossed the jungle to find a home.
I have followed his adventures ever since I first heard of him a couple of years ago. The Swedish multi sport team in Ecuador, trying to win the world championships. Instead the team leader, Mikael Lindnord, found that in the middle of the jungle, his team of four had got a fifth member…Arthur. Mikael had never had a dog of his own and never thought of getting one – he was a tough athlete and a determined leader for his team.
But this street dog caught his heart…and from one meat ball, given to a starving dog – they became friends forever. Finally, after many hardships and paperwork and stubborn authorities…Arthur arrived in Sweden and was taken care of by Mikael and his family.
Tonight I met him. And I totally understand why he is King Arthur. He owned the place from the first second he entered through the door. I do not have one single, proper picture…but I loved every minute of being close to him and listening to their story. Seeing the very special bond between Mikael and Arthur.
Mikael himself says that Arthur stands for Hope. The Lindnord family have also started a fund for homeless dogs in Ecuador – there are many ill treated and abused dogs in the world… Maybe there is hope for them with people like Mikael, who was prepared to even let go of his team’s victory to save this dog’s life. Mikael says he recognized himself in Arthur that very first day…they both stand tall, and never give up. So, how could he let Arthur down, when the dog put all his trust in him ?
If you love animals, and dogs in particular, and believe there is still love and compassion on Earth – Read the book!
