For Sylvain Landry – Reflection. I love the way the world changes in reflections. In the header, a photo from somewhere in China, where many separate worlds are revealed …and the second photo is from my forest at home. My world.
Bäcken lever. The brook comes alive when the ice is gone.
Ailsa’s Travel theme this week is about taking it easy – and breathe. Nature is the place to be…and that almost says it all for me.
Autumnal crisp air, walking with my dogs and my children – Breathing. In the header, the Swedish lakes and faraway mountains of Lapland.
Is it because of…
…or because of
or maybe because of…
my longing for a Knight in Shining Armour…
or at least a handsome knight… in any armour!
It might also be for the fair ladies and a love of horses…
…or for the spectacular jousting – and its Swedish Champions!
I do believe my love for this consists of all these things…and then, nothing beats the Hovdala Castle …
and its surroundings.
Totti is almost always happy, and many things make me happy as well – this is only a tiny selection…In fact, I like being happy, so I am constantly working on it…Thank you, Cee, for the reminder!
A summer table with a summer cake and fresh fruits…
Sitting in my garden, looking at the fragrance of the summer flowers…
Hiking alone, meeting good old friends…
Camellia Williamsii ”Brigadoon”
Beautiful flowers…vibrant colours…
Music…
And most of all – travelling Life with my children!
Today I have been thinking…
…that maybe I should tell you about My day in the forest! This was the start. Early, early, before the sunrise, we drove to the big forest far away. As you could see above, we had a glorius morning with many interesting sounds and smells. My nose was at work from the very start…
And then, after a couple of hours, suddenly my mistress stopped still and told me to be quiet…Somehow (sorry to say) she had noticed this deer coming down from a hill on the left side…before I did. The wind must have come from the wrong direction – I have no other explanation…
Anyhow, she was gone with the wind as soon as my mistress pressed the button…
When we turned left and followed the path back towards the car, we noticed a host of daffodils in the middle of the forest. I was still deeply pondering my unhappy mistake before, and kindly let my mistress lie on the ground for some crazy photos…of daffodils…
…and me. I hope you enjoyed this short story of my day!

Candle light in Sweden is perhaps mostly connected to winter and Christmas time. In the header, the wreath of box and candles I make every year for our dining room.
For Sylvain Landry – Candle.
Medieval restaurant in Riga – only candle light.
The chandelier in Frösö Church, Jämtland, Sweden.
A simple candle at my winter table.
…but the evening sun lingering on a red house standing by the river pond, giving reflections in the water.
Or…?
Have a great new week!
I find the colour pink very refreshing…
Ailsa wants some good solutions here…and what about roses? New Dawn or old bush roses – I find both of them charmingly fresh. Other solutions? Click here.
These tiny roses come from a more than one hundred year old bush. An old lady had them growing in her garden and I asked if I might dig up a piece – and she gave me permission to do so. They still are a feast to the eye every June.
