Travel theme: Refreshing

I find the colour pink very refreshing…

Ailsa wants some good solutions here…and what about roses? New Dawn or old bush roses – I find both of them charmingly fresh. Other solutions? Click here.

The roses on the left come from a more than one hundred year old bush. An old lady had them growing in her garden and I asked if I could get one - which I could!

These tiny roses come from a more than one hundred year old bush. An old lady had them growing in her garden and I asked if I might dig up a piece – and she gave me permission to do so. They still are a feast to the eye every June.

WPC: Future

Future – if we have one. A difficult topic. I choose to talk about the nearest future. What I know will happen in my garden and in my forest, in a week or two.

 

 

Seven Day Nature Photo, Day Six – Summer Flower Dream

I have been nominated by my friend Sue, at WordsVisual, to take part in a challenge of a photo per day for seven days, of anything from the natural world. And every day I should nominate a new member.

 

Today, and in my last entry tomorrow, I would like to nominate all my followers and readers who love Nature and feel they can find time and joy in participating in  7-day Nature Photo! I know it is difficult to find the time – and I want to send my heartfelt thank you to you who answered my call, for wonderful comments and the possibility to see other’s beautiful entries on Nature. Nothing could please me more!

Seven Day Nature Photo, Day Five – Lady’s Slipper Orchid

I have been nominated by my friend Sue, at WordsVisual, to take part in a challenge of a photo per day for seven days, of anything from the natural world. And every day I should nominate a new member.

Cypripedium calceolus is a lady’s-slipper orchid growing wild in Sweden, and very much unlike other wild orchids here. This photo is from a very dear friend’s garden – I got the opportunity to photograph the entire garden last summer. Magnificent species.

Today I would like to nominate photographer and blogger Robert Weir at Clicking through the bucket list to take part in the 7-day Nature Photo. He is a brilliant photographer and a worldwide traveller. I would love to see what he might come up with for this challenge….. though I am not sure there is spare time enough for this busy man. If not – no worries, Robert, I am only glad to rekommend your blog to other bloggers!

 

SL-WEEK 38: Yellow

Yellow is a very special colour. It symbolizes a variety of things; for example the sun, being false (in the language of flowers) and power – only for the emperor of China.

I love yellow, but cannot wear it. Others can with elegance – like houses, vehicles and flowers.
