Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Sense of Seeing

So, there was a slight misunderstanding of Cee’s challenge…from my part. Hopefully I can repair that in the following challenges! Why not join in yourself!

Everything in Nature I love seeing – and the habits are …hiking, using binoculars and camera.

Indoors – I have moved nature inside my house. Today I have 171 pot plants.

Hiking is essential – preferably with my children and my dog.

Autumn will soon be here now – hopefully it will be a colourful one this year.

Spring is my favourite season. Maybe because my favourite colour is green.

Strangely enough, It happened to be the winter pictures I liked to see most of today.

My favourite – Robin – sitting outside my window.

SL – WEEK 9: School

Introduktion to a new school involves playing and games to get to know each other and to learn how to trust each other. This photo is from the first day at our school, last year, last autumn 2014.

Photo book on The Garden of My Dreams

This summer I had the opportunity of visiting and taking photos in the most beautiful garden – the garden of my dreams. The owners, Kerstin and Kjell-Arne, have travelled the world to collect many rare species, and are always working hard on their dream.

I cannot say how much I appreciate being given this opportunity – and all the chats about the forest and its inhabitants whenever we see each other. Be it hiking or a short visit in their garden.

This year, their work was more abundantly rewarded than ever. So they said, and I believe them. They know everything about plants and different species and Kjell-Arne is also an ornithologist with many years’ experience.You who follow my blog might also remember him as – ”the little man”/”den lille mannen”.
