WPC: Waiting

From Cheri – a wish for us to show ”waiting”. I am just filling in what she already started…because noone can do the waiting business like a dog can!

In the header, sweet Seonaid’s (my Scottish blogger friend at Breathofgreenair) two bearded collies, and down under my own Mille.

Travel theme: Sports

Many sports seem to be only about hitting balls… but some sports can be totally different. Some include animals as well, such as dogs and horses. My friend’s daughter even had her rabbit competing in high jump…

Let us start in New Zealand, in the header, with a silver ball for All Blacks!

New Zealand sport(!) …Lonely Dog gallery.

Totti the winner that day!

One of my former students, Eric, is number one in Sweden in this sport. The horse here is his precious Grim.

 

CFFC: C, at least 4 letters

For Cee’s challenge, C,  I found…

A Cemetary in Glendalough, Ireland… (of course)

…and a Cute Couple in the street.

September Feelings

Totti and I walked the familiar track in the Vedema forest. Some trees were taken down, which made it a bit difficult to recognize the path. Still warm in the air, but autumn signs were everywhere.  A fine day.

 

What is Your Story?

This is still one of my my favourite stories – (and favourite characters…) and so it was for my children as well. I guess most of you know them…? How do you remember their impact if you read them as a child?

Thursday Thoughts – Granddaughters!

What’s in the picture? Well, today I had the honour of two granddaughters visiting – and I was totally overjoyed!

Even if they were much faster than me…and a bit more… agile? Youngsters – they do keep you alive and kicking, don’t they! They were both in for a haircut, though…but looked cool and modern with heavy curls hiding their eyes…Esther looks very much like her mother, Ella:  White body and dark head. Mira has a wash of golden locks on top of her head…apparently inherited her father’s good looks. Welcome back you two!

 

WPC: Structure

The perfect structure of the wings is best seen when the wings are closed – this Vanessa cardui, known as ”the painted lady”, displays a wonder of delicate structure. It is not very common in Sweden, but some three-four years ago we had about 20 of them in our buddleyas. This year, I have only seen two of them – but two wonders!
