Symmetry is a phenomenon soothing to the eye and soul. My two symmetries are from Denmark. The first one is a roof in the picturesque town of Köge and the second one is from the train to Köge.

# 34 Bur – Cage (74/365)
På språng inför vecka 8, då jag alltid sätter om alla mina inomhusblommor (171 st). Plantskolan har utökat sin arsenal av roliga accessoarer för ett hem. En bur i naturlig storlek…intressant är att då blir engelskans cage much more fitting. För så kan man benämna en bröstkorg.
This cage is a cage in more than one way – a life-size cage. Found in the store where I today bought everything needed for the care of my pot plants. Week 8 is when I always groom all of them and give them new soil. I have 171 indoor plants.
# 305 Sångfågel – Song-bird (73/365)
Min favoritfågel är rödhaken. En liten, knubbig och oförvägen fågel som gärna följer mig ute i trädgården på sommaren och sitter och tittar in genom mitt fönster på vintern. Sången är flöjtande och mjuk, och hans uppmärksamma knäppande är både hemtrevligt och vänskapligt. Han är omskriven i folktro, sagor och legender. Ofta som en lyckobringare och beskyddare. Min mormor hade en sådan vän i sin trädgård, som följde henne troget i utomhussysslorna.
My favourite bird is the Robin. His friendly company is there summer as winter. His song is soft and flute-like, and his clicking sound of warning meets anyone who appears too suddenly or too close. Here he is watching me through the window with his big round eyes.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Let’s Go Fly a Kite
With tuppence for paper and strings, You can have your own set of wings, With your feet on the ground, You’re a bird in a flight, With your fist holding tight, To the string of your kite. Oh, oh, oh! Let’s go fly a kite, Up to the highest height! Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring, Up through the atmosphere, Up where the air is clear, Oh, let’s go fly a kite!
I have posted him before, but this theme meant memories…
Almost exactly two years ago, I found this magnificent kite in the forest, lying on his back in poor condition. So – I took him to the expert to save him, if possible. At first he seemed not too badly hurt and for some days we had hopes for him to be able to fly again.
Unfortunately the veterinaries couldn’t save this beautiful bird – letting him go without him having full control of body and wings would starve him to death. So, my try to ”fly a kite” was in vain. At least I’m grateful for having given him a second chance.
I’m sure he is soaring somewhere up there now…
Thank you, Cee for being featured!
# 286 Spöklikt – Spooky (72/365)
Eget tema 1: Säcka – Sagging (68/365)
Det här lilla huset kör jag förbi ibland – undrar hur långt ner det kan säcka innan det faller samman?
This little house has been a sagging sight for several years – I wonder how much longer before it will fall apart totally.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale
New Zealand’s great glaciers, Franz Josef and Fox make their visitors feel exceptionally small. The Franz Josef (Ka Roimata o Hinehukatere in Māori) is a 12 km (7.5 mi) long glacier located on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Together with the Fox Glacier 20 km (12 mi) to the south, it is unique in descending from the Southern Alps to less than 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level, amidst the greenery and lushness of a temperate rainforest.
Walking up to the glaciers was very easily done, and we were greatly rewarded. I have walked glaciers in several countries in Europe – but these two are the most remarkable ones of all. Imagine the rainforest coming down almost to the floor of the glacier, and you could touch them both from the path!
The photos show the scale very clearly, but the feeling of walking there is impossible to convey…you have to be there yourself.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: My favourite things verse three
For Cee this week – some of my favourite things…
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, Silver white winters that melt into springs, These are a few of my favorite things.
# 217 Orörd – Untouched (67/365)
En sällsynt dag idag – en dag av sol. En promenad under lunchen gick till sjön. Orörd snö täcker fortfarande den tunna isen.
An unusual day today – a day of sun. A walk to the lake during my lunch break showed a still untouched cover of snow on the thin ice.
