Frost has taken most of my autumn flowers, and bees and butterflies are almost gone. Every now and then, there is still a glimpse of sun – and a glimpse of life.

Saturday – Garden Day
Much to do in the garden these days…
Cherries and plums are in flower
And I walk under the marvelous canopies, listening to the busy bees
Loving every flower and every sound –
– Today the Nightingale arrived
The wonder of every Spring – is something to be so grateful for
An Admiral a Peacock and a Bumblebee
An ordinary Monday. A beautiful world.
An Admiral and a Peacock
…and a bumblebee.
Thursday Thoughts – In the Hive
My number one goal with the London trip was Kew Gardens. I think the year was 1977 last time, or maybe 1979. As you who read this blog will know, I love gardens and flowers. Maybe especially English gardens, because of their soft and soothing architecture and lines. But this time, I also found the most mindful spot – The Hive.
A well thought through installation, and a high quality space for mindfulness.
The Hive stands 17 metres high, set in a meadow of wild flowers. The installation is connected to a real beehive, from where you, through several canals, are able to follow the sounds and vibrations of the bees.
We all know the importance of bees, and as scientists have proved – without bees we will not survive on this planet.
In this structure, you cannot shut out the light – you cannot stop it from seeping in. Looking straight up from the ground beneath, there are also… feet to be seen…
…and inside the construction, the blue sky is visible from every corner. Slow down and listen to the bees working, humming soothingly. Add some distant music… and this will be your reaction…
Meditative moments…Mindfulness…
There is Still Time…
There is still time…to live and love the last days of summer. There is still time…to remember the softest moments of nature’s glory – the morning walks and the evening light. Little things…little creatures. Let us rejoice.
All those little moths…flying in the dark
The lesser butterfly-orchid – its scent fills the forest
Everything is magical under the canopy
The lovely buttercups have many lovers…

Ant Invasion and a Teenage Party
At least once a year we visit Wanås, the park and the new installations. A must!
Rafael Gómezbarro’s installation ”Casa tomada” wants to portray the stream of refugees in the world, where the climbing ants are symbols for the hard working migrant. The installation comes from Bogota´and the house of parliament there.
Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg are the artists behind the installation ”In dreams”. You can hear the sound coming through the forest before you find it. Want to party?
The artists compares this to Alice in Wonderland…
…and I cannot but agree
you meet creepy beings…
…and feel dizzy, like in a dream…
