For Cee today – these colours lead me to the sea…but also to a Bhutanese farmer’s kitchen!
Mountain lakes almost always have these hues of blue green. There are many minerals co-operating to make it work. A fascinating colour.

Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge: Sculptures, Statues, Carvings
For Cee, a statue of the typical dogs in Fanö, Denmark. They stand high on a pillar in the open place close to where the ferry boats arrive and leave. Small versions of them are to be found in many windows and houses on the island.
Top of The World
This weekend we had the great joy of having Milo’s little sister, Arena, here – and there he really got a match…wrestling for two days without end. But also learning things and exploring the world together.
OK, so you’ve got something there, have you…
Let me think…
Maybe… if I try to look really bored..
Well – women’s list – you know…
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #8: Colorful
Tina asks us to be colourful – and that feels good after a summer with no flowers, no natural colours here in Skåne, Sweden, except yellow and brown.
First, I would like to present an ordinary summer’s typical Swedish summer house…
…and then a sparkling Japanese Camellia. Flowers are inevitable photo objects when it comes to colour!
Two family members are celebrating colourful birthdays during summer.
And not that seldom we all go to enjoy Neil’s Yard in London, where walking in colours always makes my spirit jump with joy. Possible even when flowers are out of season…
Finally, I wish you a colourful and inspiring weekend!

Silent Sunday
Thursday Thoughts – Autumn Hints
Some cool autumn days at our summerhouse – Much is in progress…and nature is slowing down. Totti is adjusting to having Milo around, but as you can see he has also found out how to effectively get away from him…one of his favorite solutions is to jump into the car cage again. Milo cannot reach him there – yet.
Autumn is coming – the crispness of the air, the clear skies and the colours of the trees.
Our little fishing village is preparing for the next season – boats on shore and summer guests gone. Silent mornings, only the swallows’ swift wings dipping in the water.
He is growing so fast…too fast, just like little children do.
CFFC: Men and Instruments
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Week 5 Photo – Music, guitar, instrument, men, coffee, etc.
All men…
…and good at what they are doing! Irish in the header, in Madrid I admired the glass player sitting in a street market, and…
…happy guys playing cards in the streets of Beijing.
All candid shots.
Wordless Wednesday
Did I Tell You…
…that we brought home the coolness from Lofoten…and…
– now we rejoice in the fresh air after this summer’s sauna heat!
Wishing you all a delightful week – greetings from 20 degrees C, Skåne, Sweden.
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #7: Everyday Moments
Everyday moments – maybe it is easy to forget how important they are, because (I) we seldom succeed in living as mindful as we should… Thank you, Amy, for the opportunity of highlighting some of those precious moments.
Everyday I have to care for my best friends, Totti and Milo. Following their lives is a gift.
Even if I see to their daily needs, sometimes a professional grooming is necessary – especially if you want to win next competition!
Not yet….are they best friends, but it is coming. Milo is slowly learning what he can do… or not…Totti has an angel’s patience – he is really too kind and considerate for his own good.
So, I try to walk Totti alone, just him and me, once a day. Picking berries, finding wild animals – and apple trees – in the forest and meadows.
Some days we go to our summer house, or just to the sea, to relax, and only – exist…
…which is so important…Life is short – someone will soon grow out of those sandals.
Taking a boat to one of the small islands in the archipelago is always a treat.
Driving home to our ordinary house again, the farmers are usually busy in the fields, but this year there is not much left to harvest. The drought has taken its toll.
Every month – not every day – we usually visit some interesting exhibitions. It could be about almost anything. Here a fashion and theater theme by designer Camilla Thulin.
This summer there was no rain – but all the other summers there usually are everyday moments with umbrellas!
During summer, spring or autumn – or all of them – we sometimes get a bit tired of everyday life, and decide to hop on the train/ferry to our neighbor country, Denmark.
Somehow I love train stations…
…and ferries. Some guys are very, very tired of the everyday thing…but there is always room for a ferry feet stretching!
Strolling the streets of Copenhagen is always a treat. To us, Denmark means good food, fantastic exhibitions, lovely people and yellow houses with cosy corners!
