The nights are cold now, but the mornings shine. Giving the birds their breakfast, I stop to admire the lily pods. Nature’s wonders.
Tour Guide – What do I love about where I live? Well – The beautiful nature and countryside! Including:
My garden and flowers
The animals I meet every day
The old fairy tale villas
Even our ugliest old building looks beautiful in the low sun…
And I love our Castles, Hovdala and Wanås, always hosting spectacular art and exhibitions. Here josting and below Wanås with ants (from a South American artist) crawling over the faςade. They also have great areas for hiking and outdoor activities.
I do love this area, and I guess I would not want to live permanently anywhere else.
– a short pause. See you all next week – hope you will all have some great time preparing for Christmas. Only some weeks left now…
Love, Ann-Christine
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Letter O – Needs to have the letter O anywhere in the word
In the header, one of my Phalaenopsis orchids, and above my friend Robin…
Jen at WordPress gives us the opportunity to show Transformation – my choice is a poppy, one of the wonders bursting into a colourful transformation every summer.
Last summer I bought a Chocolate flower for my garden. The scent is …chocolate… at its best. I also love the rich dark colour of it. In fact this is one of the few surviving plants this wet and cold summer. I wonder if someone knows its real name?
What’s in the picture? Well, today I had the honour of two granddaughters visiting – and I was totally overjoyed!
Even if they were much faster than me…and a bit more… agile? Youngsters – they do keep you alive and kicking, don’t they! They were both in for a haircut, though…but looked cool and modern with heavy curls hiding their eyes…Esther looks very much like her mother, Ella: White body and dark head. Mira has a wash of golden locks on top of her head…apparently inherited her father’s good looks. Welcome back you two!
The perfect structure of the wings is best seen when the wings are closed – this Vanessa cardui, known as ”the painted lady”, displays a wonder of delicate structure. It is not very common in Sweden, but some three-four years ago we had about 20 of them in our buddleyas. This year, I have only seen two of them – but two wonders!
