Tuesday Photo Challenge – Slippery
This week’s photo challenge is about being slippery…and my photos are from our last trip to Iceland some years ago. A tour to the hot springs and Geysirs had me almost breaking my legs, arms and camera. Everything was covered in ice and icicles. And nothing to help you walk safely.
The rope rails were impossible and there was no sand in sight. My husband fell twice but nothing was broken. A day to remember.
The days just fly…and it is Monday again. In Sweden the first snow has arrived, and further north it is staying white.
My photos this week are from my garden last week – when we had some magical, glittering mornings.
Asters unfurling in the warming sun
Until reaching their full splendour
Just for fun – is Patti’s challenge for this week. Well, I cannot promise any fantastic shots from me …but I promise I had fun taking these photos!
In the header, four of my students, in Madrid, on their last trip together before graduating. Can you figure out how they did this ”thing”? I still cannot…
For many years the whole family traveled through Europe by car every summer. Sometimes we had to wait for hours in long queues, especially on Autobahn in Germany – so, here’s my daughter trying to cheer things up…
A favorite photo I have shared on WordPress before… from Figueres, 2011.
My children are a great source of fun…always…
A photo I had to take, since we all are great Lotr fans, and my daughter found a Uruk Hai warrior (he really was one of the actors in the movies!) at Matamata, NZ…
I guess his son was a bit surprised…This young dad in Rome jumped up on a fountain lion himself…
And finally, I caught the biggest fish in Gore, NZ…
Today we woke up to a grey day with hail, snow and heavy raindrops.
Clearly a day for staying in bed…
For a short second, a sun ray touched the vase with the faded roses –
… and then – everything went back to grey again. I feel lucky to snuggle up by the Asparagus africanus, that is covering the French windows in my living room. So grateful for a house to live in – roof over my head – and a warming meal.
Come with us for a morning walk – an autumn forest shower!
The crisp, cold mornings are the best ones…
And you know, Totti shares all his secret treasures with me…his best paths and digging holes for example…
Mostly I am ahead of him, because he is getting a bit slow – turning 11 next time – but still going strong. I always wait for him to catch up of course.
And we are the best friends – now and forever. I hope you have a best friend too!
These foggy mornings – forebodings of November grey – still have their own beauty.
My father just turned 85, and our daughter flew home for the celebration last weekend – despite having a big exam three days later. Love ♥
Driving her to the airport – she wanted a walk in our forest once more. So brother and sister walked ahead of us, chatting and laughing, but also talking about serious things.
Forests are good listeners. Up north, where she is heading, there are no autumn colours, only firs and pine trees.
So, when she left, this autumn’s last colours were mirrored in the little lake in the early morning light. I hope Emma will picture them in her mind during the long winter darkness in Umeå.

Drones…are maybe not well liked by all of us…but this one is for mapping an area of scientific interest.
Motorbikes – driven by old gentlemen!
Taking down the forest – is done by these big machines nowadays.
