Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer Lovin’

When we go to our summer house, this is the view just before we turn the last corner…we call it ”Hästviken”,. This is truly summer to me. And now, soon, this view means the final piece of summer when we say goodbye and leave for home.

Find some more summer lovin’ here.

Home again

After being totally enchanted by Scotland and the Scots – I hardly know where to begin…so much to catch up on of reading and so much to tell!

First of all, I want to thank my blogging friend Seonaid at breathofgreenair, for having us a whole delightful evening in her lovely home. Unforgettable hospitality and my admiration is neverending. More time – I think both of us wished for that…. Hopefully we will meet again – I still have not experienced the Tattoo either…

If it hadn’t been for Seonaid’s advice – we’d never had seen her beautiful Plockton near the Isle of Skye. A drizzle early in the morning, but the views truly calm and serene. Not a wind.

For some seconds – a little less rain. Light unbelievably…light and soothing.

Not many people were out this early morning. No hurry. A lifetime of Time it seemed…

Suddenly there were more colours, more life. Flowers everywhere. The rain had stopped.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Between

Between...could be interpreted almost in a thousand ways, I guess…I have only got three of them here – the rest you will find in Between!

Travel theme: Shine

For the Travel theme at Ailsa’s, something shining it should be…I chose this Flower chafer who was sitting in a heavenly white and pink peony where I  admired him for some minutes.

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Crooked and Squiggly Lines

Cee’s imagination is neverending! Crooked and squiggly lines – here they come! Why don’t you join in too?

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things with edges

Cee asks us for things with edges – these are pieces of edginess! The petroglyphs, or rock engravings, in Vitlycke are from 1000 – 500 BC. Ships, love and magic. We visited with the class in May.

People went to sea and they portrayed their grand ships. We went to sea as well, and at sea we found even more edgy creatures. Starfish and corals.

Weekly Travel theme: Unexpected

This picture was entered once before, but it still is one of my greatest surprises…totally unexpected. I was shooting the tree and the long cloud, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the plane turned up. Almost touching the snow, and without a sound to reveal it was coming. Quite suitable for Ailsa’a travel theme as well!

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Floral Macros

Floral macros for Cee! It’s no secret that I love flowers…and there are more flowers here.

Cee´s Fun Foto Challenge: Water

Last week I was featured on Cee´s Photography – thank you so much, Cee – it’s an honour!

I have been away with my students for some days to Bohuslän, which is on the west coast of Sweden. Of course this means Water! One of the days we had the opportunity to go by boat with scientists from the University of Gothenburg to dig up animals and plants from the bottom of the sea for examination. And we had a magnificent evening by Gullmarsfjorden.
