Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Ground, rocks, sand, dirt, paths, walks, trails

/ Leya / 51 kommentarer

My many hikes and walks tell me that I have to find the best ones for Cee…now that she gives us the opportunity to share them!

The levada walks in Madeira are marvellous. The stillness in the air and the soft scents along your walk make you never want it to end.

  The hiking trails in the Pyrenées can be rather difficult, but their beauty is outstanding. And so are the ”Pancakes” of New Zealand.

In New Zealand you can also find these magnificent boulders on a sandy beach of the South Island.

Finally something of Ground. From the magnificent plateau in the Himalayas – on the road to Lhasa, Tibet.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Nature Animals

Well, some animals found in nature are wild and some are domesticised – I love them all (except spiders and cockroaches…). These I met today on my way home. Some liked being photographed while others didn’t think much of it – just flew away…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Leaves or Trees

/ Leya / 32 kommentarer

I know, I know…I’m late, but…this is one of my favourite oak trees in Blekinge – or was. This spring we passed the mansion by car and found that the magnificent oak was broken and gone. It has been there since I was very young and last year it still had some fresh leaves. The many storms last autumn must have been too much for this old friend.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Shiny

/ Leya / 21 kommentarer

On visiting my blogger friend Maria of MariaYarri, in Jämtland this winter, she showed me a glimpse of the famous Copperhill in Åre.

Åre is a major ski resort in Jämtland, and this lodge is as shiny and extraordinary as it is expensive to stay in…

I was fortunate to live at Maria’s instead. And everything was excellent there – food, service, conversation, entertainment, company and guiding during the days. This beats Copperhill – not a chance I would have changed my lodgings!

From Cee this week – patterns. Mine are rectangles from a church roof and rings from a bird in the lake. Very different but they give me a nice feeling both of them.

Texture from Cee this week!  One of my favourite textures is from New Zealand, South Island and the great Glaciers. We stayed for several hours – just enjoying.

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: The Color Purple

/ Leya / 36 kommentarer

Purple is my mother’s favourite colour. So for Cee I have chosen one wild flower, a second flower from my garden and the third beauty is my favourite orchid.

Pasque flower at Kjugekull, Skåne. These flowers are quite rare and you are not allowed to pick them or dig them up to plant in your garden.

Cranesbill geranium from my garden. Lovely flowers in bouquets and especially together with orange and yellow flowers.

Cattleya. Photo from my dear friend Börje’s greenhouse. Cattleyas are easily grown in your own window – flower generously and are found in a great variety of colours.
