I love those autumn capsules and seeds in my garden – colour and form are both elegant and sophisticated.

WPC: Friend
Best friends forever…and my best friends forever as well! Mille and Totti …
…for better,
…for worse…
Summer is Here
…and Mille’s beach is empty. But I love it best before all the summer guests arrive. The temperature is heading towards 30 degrees C, and yesterday we went to our summer cottage to cool down. No rain in sight…only hot winds.
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day in Sweden, and we will celebrate my mother with a tasty lamb dinner. Until then – some summer photos from yesterday!
Totti spending some water time…
Hiding in the buttercup field – a pheasant
We spotted two eagles hunting
And then – always feeling welcomed by the natural inhabitants!
With the sun going down, we wish a Good Night to you all!

Wordless Wednesday
And Finally the Nightingale Sang
In glorious evening light, no wind, and a summer softness in the bird cherry scented air – we heard him…the Nightingale. This long, cold and dry Spring unveiled its soft heart and let Totti and me enjoy the first taste of summer. And my son turned 25. A blessed day.

See You Soon!
Time for a short break. Time for National Tests in school and also some days off duty…I went back to work in October and, as usual, the most buzy days are in April and May.
May you all have a great celebration around May 1! Let Spring bring some warm winds now, replacing the rain, snow and hail we have had for some weeks.
For the first time ever, my beautiful magnolia started to unfold…just when Winter decided to return. So, she is standing here, displaying a sadly black and withered sight. I will just have to show all her usual splendour. Glad to have a camera and old photos these days…
CFFC: Winter – Water
Cee’s challenge this week brings winter back…and lovely memories of a visit to my blogging friend Maria and the frozen waterfall, Tännforsen. For more winter, click here.
Travel theme: Earth
Earth Day. I listened to her, as I do every day, but as this was a very special day, I walked with all my senses, even more intently listening…
Planet Earth is mostly water – the Blue Planet. Today was a lucky day, because the blue was clear and intense – in the skies as well as in the water on the ground.
And the tiny wood-sorrel made last years’ leaves look green and fresh again…
…maybe not all of those leaves were that lucky, but slowly drifting in a fresh pool is beautiful as well.
Like the clouds. They all meet here – the sky, the clouds, the earth, the trees and the water.
We all belong here…to this planet and in this world and in this universe…
I believe all of us know…and my best friend knows it too. He felt so good today, running around, bathing and frolicking in the leaves…
Howling when he was told we were walking again…
So, this day, Earth Day, has been a beautiful day of belonging and pondering about what we have and how grateful we all should be.
We are not here forever…only for some short moments we can dance in the light. Let us take good care of each other, and of our Planet Earth – we want our children and grandchildren to feel this gentle belonging and the joy of life…and above all, it really is the animals’ and the plants’ planet, isn’t it. They were here first. We are responsible.
