Coralish for Friendly Friday – I looked up the pantone site, and …well, I don’t have much in that colour either. Here are my suggestions, somewhere near I hope!
In the header, the Dragon of Bhutan’s Druk Air.

Macro Monday
Wordless Wednesday
Thursday Thoughts – Christmas Market
Christmas in Sweden also means many Christmas markets to visit, where local people can put their work on display, and there is a lot of chatting and big smiles. This year we only visited one market, and came home with some lovely presents of course…
This young woman was a talented painter with somewhat a style of her own.
And there were even younger participants… mother and daughter sold flowers and decorations. Everything works out well when you are smiling!

Macro Monday – In My Windows Today
I guess everybody knows this little beauty as Epiphyllum…
…but its real name is Schlumbergera truncata (false Christmas cactus as a house plant)
This is my beloved yellow lady!
Macro Monday – in My Morning Garden
Some surviving flowers in my garden – but not many. In the early morning light – this Aster Princess wearing her crown.
Less spectacular, but very saffron – is the millimeter lichen on my old apple tree.
And the Common Spindle – with a delightful fruit. I collected some seeds in the forest 6-7 years ago – and got these lovely results.
Macro Monday
The days just fly…and it is Monday again. In Sweden the first snow has arrived, and further north it is staying white.
My photos this week are from my garden last week – when we had some magical, glittering mornings.
Asters unfurling in the warming sun
Until reaching their full splendour
Grey Light and Faded Roses
Today we woke up to a grey day with hail, snow and heavy raindrops.
Clearly a day for staying in bed…
For a short second, a sun ray touched the vase with the faded roses –
… and then – everything went back to grey again. I feel lucky to snuggle up by the Asparagus africanus, that is covering the French windows in my living room. So grateful for a house to live in – roof over my head – and a warming meal.
Macro Monday
So, I finally bought myself a macro lens, something I have been thinking about for some years now. ”To See a World in a Grain of Sand…” – now more true than ever.
I hope you will enjoy following my attempts to find hidden worlds! I would love to hear your experiences and tips from your own macro photography as well. Learning new things are always a great joy.
So, here’s to Macro Monday!
