Thursday Thoughts -Falling in Love…

Last week I went visiting my daughter up north, in Umeå. But I also took the chance to visit the 412 year old market in Jokkmokk – a meeting place for Sami people from Norway, Sweden and Finland, as well as people from all over the world. A colourful experience! More about this old market in posts coming.
I think I fell in love again…Finnish Lapphund is a dog breed, and traditionally it has been used for herding reindeer. This is a hardy, easy going, medium-size breed of Spitz type. At the market there were two shining beauties exposing themselves on reindeer skins.

Finnish Lapphund has a normal lifespan of 12-14 years, and is known to be faithful and friendly, as well as being calm, keen and corageous.

This breed comes in black, white, wolf-sable, red, sable and brown. About 50cm in height and normal weight 15-24 kg.
Totally wonderful dogs!

Travelling Again…

So, I will have to say goodbye for a while, again. Hopefully I will be back before Christmas. I want to thank you all so very much, readers, followers and friends who come visiting, liking, remarking, discussing – keeping me alive!

This trip will take me far away to a country I have never visited before. I am very excited about it, and I hope to tell you – and show you – more when I come back. Until then – have a great and joyous December!

Thursday Thoughts – Tiny Worlds

Tiny, enigmatic worlds…

They fascinate and they haunt us…

Because they are still possible to fathom?

Because we realize that we cannot decide over or rule Nature?

Or is it because we deep inside know…that everything just might be too late…
