# 253 Sjöfågel – Sea bird (97/365)

Jag är inte så bra på att artbestämma när det gäller sjöfågel – men det här är en gräsandshona. Hon har en mjuk, moderlig blick.

This mallard has a soft and motherly eye…looking at me.

WPC: Reward

Last spring we drove up to the middle of Sweden to see the cranes dancing at Hornborgasjön. We managed to find the perfect day – absolutely clear and sunny. During the following night, we waited for two hours for the more than 19000 cranes to return from their night quarters to the shores of the lake. Seeing them flying in at 5 a.m was our fantastic and unforgettable reward.

# 278 Spanar – Gazing (95/365)

Äntligen en solig dag! Full fart på fåglarna från tidig morgon. Skatan spanar från nocken.

Finally a sunny day! The birds were alert from early morning. This magpie is gazing out over her hunting grounds.

# 90 Färdas – Travel (90/365)

Att färdas längs en grusväg, vid vatten, är en skön naturupplevelse…oftast. Denne stackars man kämpade vingligt fram i kall och häftig motvind.

Travelling along a gravel road, close by the water, usually makes you feel happy and light at heart…but this man had to struggle hard in the tough winds.

# 59 Ensamstående – Single/Standing alone (a play on words) (86/365)

En kall och blåsig dag i Magle våtmark. En ensamstående dam i fjärran.

Cold and windy at Magle. A woman standing alone in the wind.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: My Favourite Things Chorus

When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don’t feel so bad.

My favourites – a sunny walk under the open blue sky, the snow  just melted away – it’s early spring – and my best friends are running wild with joy. Then I don’t feel so bad…
