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.

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.
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.
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…
Denna döskalle och ett antal likadana till plus skulderblad och revben, m.m. togs hem från dotterns volontärtid på Nya Zeeland. Hon jobbade på ett naturvårdsprogram där.
Possum är ett djur som inte naturligt förekommer på NZ, utan har kommit dit med oss människor. Resultatet är det vanliga i alla sådana fall – förödande. Det inplanterade djuret utrotar en del av de inhemska djuren. Eftersom NZ har så många speciella djur, till exempel den icke flygande kiwin, så behövs det inte mycket för en katastrofal utveckling för det endemiska beståndet.
This skull is from a possum in New Zealand. My daughter worked there as a volunteer on a nature preservation program, and brought home several of these, along with ribs and vertebraes and…other skeletons.
Possums are not well liked in NZ as they were brought there by humans who didn’t know better. Many endemic species are in danger or even extinct because of our stupidity.
Details are important. Even if you don’t see them – it is they who make up our world…
