MC Veterans – Don’t We Just Love Them!

This summer there were some 75 bikers having lunch at my friends’ place. I had the opportunity to meet them, chat a bit and take photos of the great guys and their shining machines. Enjoy the gallery!

 

Thursday’s Special: Slow

Paula, at Lost in Translation, asks us to post on something slow…This giant from Galápagos is…certainly slow, but awe- inspiring in so many ways.

 

 

CFFC: Furniture, Tables, Chairs, Sofa etc.

This is my old garden sofa…now resting, decaying quietly among the lilacs. For more furniture, click here.

CFFC: Winter – Water

Cee’s challenge this week brings winter back…and lovely memories of a visit to my blogging friend Maria and the frozen waterfall, Tännforsen. For more winter, click here.

WPC: Surprise

 

Surprise – well, some surprises over the years are not easily forgotten. First out in the header – when our neighbours had not picked their red apples before the snow got them…and the second one – the first time I saw a swimming bus… in The Danube!

WPC: Security

Security is essential for humans to live a good life – and for our pets, it is their right to feel secure in our homes. Go here to find more interpretations!

On the Galápagos islands, the animals feel completely secure…and the sealions here represent this feeling very clearly to me. Whether humans are walking two inches from you, or you are sleeping together with friends on the warm sand, or having a delicious meal, or just being curious – or even being all alone without your mum! You feel secure!

Travel theme: Over

Travel theme: Over

Over my head in the header and in the skate park. Over the water in Tibet.

As a teenager, my son´s happiest moments were in the big bowls of Malmoe skate park. I have been there too, just to see him enjoy, jumping Over me!

Thursday Thoughts

In less than 8 weeks from now…the wonder will happen again…

Pictures from last year and Spring unfolding…

P1030963_copyHow much do I long for this? I cannot tell you. But, the blackbird sings in the evening now, the cranes, the lark and the lapwings have arrived. We are ready.

Jokkmokk – The Reindeer Race

Every year there is this race on the lake – and it is great fun to watch it. The reindeer are indeed not very tame, and they have to be handled rather like the wild creatures they are… But they seem to like this game – and the running!

Well…the last guy was really funny – and he most certainly enjoyed this game even more than the reindeer….No sledge, just his boots!

The reindeer are quite unstoppable as well, as you can see from the pictures. When they have finished the race…they will go on running!

And walking them home can be rather tricky too – even more if they are two…
