Weekly Travel theme: Blossom

So many wonderful colours and blossoms meet me every day now. In the early morning the yellow stands out in the fields…

 

…and in the middle of the day, when visiting a dear old friend of mine, she proudly showed me her little tree covered in a shower of pink.

Arriving home I went out in my garden to love the last rays of sun nesting in the cherry blossom. What would life be without Spring?

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Nature Animals

Well, some animals found in nature are wild and some are domesticised – I love them all (except spiders and cockroaches…). These I met today on my way home. Some liked being photographed while others didn’t think much of it – just flew away…

Easter in my little world

Easter is here – let’s have a colourful miniparade celebrating it! This morning in my garden and in my town – Happy Easter!

Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Mysterious

The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.

Travel theme: Pink

Pink comes in many different hues. My three beautiful flowers – One sunlit pelargonia, a soft spring magnolia and a lovely student of mine at last year’s ball!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: The Color Purple

Purple is my mother’s favourite colour. So for Cee I have chosen one wild flower, a second flower from my garden and the third beauty is my favourite orchid.

Pasque flower at Kjugekull, Skåne. These flowers are quite rare and you are not allowed to pick them or dig them up to plant in your garden.

Cranesbill geranium from my garden. Lovely flowers in bouquets and especially together with orange and yellow flowers.

Cattleya. Photo from my dear friend Börje’s greenhouse. Cattleyas are easily grown in your own window – flower generously and are found in a great variety of colours.

Travel theme: Gardens

Trädgårdar – jag bara måste, än en gång, ta foton från Ronneby Brunn. För några år sedan vald till Europas vackraste trädgård. Den består av många trädgårdar – här en liten vandring bland dem.

Gardens – how can I resist? Once again I will have to show Ronneby Brunn – once chosen as the most beautiful garden in Europe. It consists of many gardens – let’s have a walk together through some of them!
