Ailsa’s Travel theme this week is about taking it easy – and breathe. Nature is the place to be…and that almost says it all for me.
Autumnal crisp air, walking with my dogs and my children – Breathing. In the header, the Swedish lakes and faraway mountains of Lapland.

This day, 14 year ago, a remarkable friendship started between me and one of my most beloved friends ever. Mille. He came to us on May 9 and will stay for ever in our memories even if he left us, May 9, two years ago.
These two pictures were among the first ones I posted on my blog. I am very grateful for all the happy memories.
Sylvain Landry – Love. My two dogs loved each other dearly. And I loved the two of them dearly. Now Mille is gone and only Totti is here – left alone. Love very seldom lasts for ever.
For Ailsa I want to send some of my favourite trees – at least photos taken of them. So travelling means in Sweden this time. Starting with their helping us with mindfulness – my mother and my two dogs under the great beech tree in our forest, Spring 2011.
Trees – we cannot live without them. There are many reasons to why I love trees, and here are only some of them. I hope you agree with me – they are as wonderful as they are essential. I love them…
His strong spirit and character – to never give up on his dreams
His kindness towards everyone – big or small, human or animal
Friends for ever – helping my children grow
Forever patient…not wanting to sit there too long…but if he felt he had to…

Four different pictures…I could not choose between them for the WPC Dreamy. Walks in the woods and then by the sea this summer. The last picture is one I first thought of throwing away…but my beloved Mille is still running there, in my dreams.
I saw it when I posted Wedding – this post will be my number 1000 on WordPress. I have enjoyed it immensely – the blogging and the photographing. The reading and the friends I have ”met” and – actually – Met. In reality.
Thank you all of you out there who read me, follow me or just drop in to – Leya. I’m so grateful that you enjoy the little things in my world. It’s you who made it all possible and who still are making it possible for me to go on blogging.
What will be suitable for a post number 1000? Maybe some of my favourite photos? Maybe a combination …?
I lost my faithful companion, Mille, this spring. His name, Mille, he got because he was so special, one in a thousand. Mille. Mille Grazie to him for having him in my life for twelve years, and Mille Grazie to all of you for being part of my life. May we stay together and exchange pictures, thoughts, advice, recipes, book and film tips – and so on – for at least another 1000 posts and many more!
I wish you all a great summer – or winter! See you again in a couple of weeks – I’m off to Scotland to enjoy this beautiful and enigmatic country once more. Hopefully it will not rain all the time…as it did for three weeks in 1978 when we visited last. Never mind the weather…I’m so looking forward to meeting one of my blogging friends there!
