Travel theme: Move

For Ailsa’s Travel theme this week – move – here.

Right now it’s harvesting time and the farmers are on the move – and so are many migrating birds and birds of prey. (On the photo a great kite) So…

…animals are my first thought when I hear ”move”… horses, yes,  and…

…a newcomer like this little puppy is full of life and joy!

Or this newcomer, making me absolutely nervous…trotting away in the middle of all traffic. Didn’t move away from the cars…just kept walking…straight on…determined…

WPC: Grid

WordPress – Grid, make it the most important in your photo. Well, grids are not always manmade – you find nature’s grids everywhere…My choice fell on a Vanda, a remarkable Asian orchid, intensely coloured with a splendid grid. This Vanda I found standing in Denmark, outside a hotel.

Cee’s fun Foto Challenge: Sense of Hearing

The sense of hearing for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – my favourites, and more.

The sound of Spring…

The ice breaking up, setting the water free, and…

Kan du vakna skönare?

                        …the birds’ singing

The sea rolling in…and out again

Elverum 2009 113

Music… a singer with charisma and a voice sending magic into the night

...och busig

Dogs playing…and children’s laughter!

Thank you so much for being featured on The Sense of Touch!

# 317 Trotjänare – Faithful Old Servant (260/365)

Jag har varit en ung flickas trotjänare genom gymnasiet, över två universitet och även jorden runt. När hon arbetade som volontär på Nya Zeeland stod jag troget vid hennes sida och för kommunikationen – vilket var mycket värdefullt för hennes mamma och pappa , och säkert för henne själv också. Vi höll ihop i vått och torrt och tack vare att vi hade varandra klarade hon av att leva därute i bushen. Nu har jag många år på nacken och börjar bli lite… sliten, så där borta i ljuset någonstans…ligger väl evigheten…Men, såsom varande trotjänare hänger man ju i så länge det finns tangenter och batteri!

I have been serving this young woman through high school and two universities – and around the world as well. When she worked as a volunteer in New Zealand I was the one who stood by her side and helped her keeping up communication with her parents. Now I’m getting old and tired – but will try to hang on for some years yet…we still need each other, Emma and me!
