My garden is a joy even in winter.
The common spindle leaves tiny capsules for the frost to bite
Macro Monday – Frosty Colours
When frost is a visitor in my garden, winter is close
Even if it only lasts for a day or two – we wait for the sun to colour our frozen world!
I wait patiently –
– and finally the cold rays transforms the crystals into diamonds.
It is a wonder each time, each year…
…to see them come alive again!
Macro Monday – Jewels
In my garden, there are not many colours left – unless you look for them –
A macro perspective is of great help – things unseen will reveal themselves…
I was concentrating on a tiny mushroom, and clicked. Once on my computer – I found this little friend sneaking up from nowhere.
And I never get tired of the morning jewellery.
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
As we are approaching winter, the birds are partying on the last fruits and berries in our garden. Late blackberries that never got the chance to ripen, and rose hip in their glory.
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
Waiting For the Birds
My garden is preparing for sleep – but gives away golden gifts for the winter birds.
Common spindle (poisonous though…)

In My Garden Today
So, I finally decided to try macro. A walk in the garden and a first try.

Thursday Thoughts – Indian Summer
Yesterday was the start of the Indian summer here in Skåne (Scania). We had 20 degrees C, sunny and no wind – a wonderful day.
The bees have had a tough summer this year, but now they seem to pop up from nowhere, buzzing gently to each other over my garden’s last flowers.
It is a joy watching them – more difficult to catch them on a photo though…
Later in the evening I went out again to enjoy the last of the autumn sun.
My lavender flowers are long since gone, but bowing their neat capsules in the fading light. I am grateful for a glorious Indian summer day – they say we will get at least another four of them this week.
