WPC: Repurpose

Repurpose – a good thing to do! My daughter´s remake of an old Encyclopaedia Britannica.

She knows my love for books and would never dream of throwing away any kind of book.

…but the evening sun lingering on a red house standing by the river pond, giving reflections in the water.

Or…?

Have a great new week!

CFFC: Alleys, Driveways, Parking Lots, Dirt Roads

I will stick to dirt roads for Cee’s challenge – one summer road (with me and Mille) and one winter road. For more entries, click here.

It would be fun to know what the English speaking world calls this kind of summer road! In Sweden we call it a ”tvättbräda” – a wash-board (translated). I guess it might have another name for you?

 

 

4 Days to Go – Thursday Thoughts

/ Leya / 17 kommentarer

Soon the winter solstice will be here. Much longed for, maybe more than ever this year. No snow – except for one single, great day – and many dark and drizzly days.

Here a series from one of the better days, this week in fact. Notice the play of warm and cold this time of the year.  Warm colours if you turn in the direction of the thin rays of the sun – and the cold colours or darkness if you turn towards the sun itself.

One of my favourite spots in ”my” forest, is the passage between two of the grass meadows to the west. Here, Mille used to stand waiting for me by the big oak tree.

The other spot is on my way back from the open landscape to the forest path. The majestic beech trees all aglow with the last rays of the low sun. 2.30 pm.

Drizzle Dreams

/ Leya / 12 kommentarer

Should i go out today…? I never have to wonder – I have got Totti, my lagotto.

Some days I wish I did not have to, but…often you will find yourself in another mood, in another weather. in other thoughts.

Even if I walk the same paths as the day before…

…I will find new views and new thoughts will enter my mind.

During the walk, the drizzle speeded up, and darkness laid a soft filter on everything.

Larchtree gold is shimmering…

…and grass is bathing in diamonds.

There is a special light in the darkness…

…and a soft forgiveness in the silence.

An Autumn walk with my family.

It was just … such a wonderful evening…

…no wind, soft air, and the scent of harvest.

Mina drömmars trädgård – The Garden of my dreams

/ Leya / 19 kommentarer

Jag har hittat Min Drömträdgård. Flera timmar satt jag där, och gick och njöt, ensam. Jag är på gång med en bildsvit därifrån, men väntar på att ägarna ska artbestämma allt jag fotograferat.

I have visited the garden of my dreams – My Dream Garden. I walked there all alone for several hours, just contemplating and savouring it all…Now I’m waiting for the owners to tell me what species everything is that I photographed. They travel and collect plants from all over the world, but now they are getting old and maybe will not be able to take care of this Paradise anymore..

Here is a first glance…
