/ Leya / 13 kommentarer

Much to do in the garden these days…

Cherries and plums are in flower

And I walk under the marvelous canopies, listening to the busy bees

Loving every flower and every sound –

– Today the Nightingale arrived

The wonder of every Spring – is something to be so grateful for

The nights are cold now, but the mornings shine. Giving the birds their breakfast, I stop to admire the lily pods. Nature’s wonders.

 

 

WPC: Tour Guide

/ Leya / 39 kommentarer

 

Tour Guide – What do I love about where I live? Well – The beautiful nature and countryside! Including:

My garden and flowers

The animals I meet every day

The old fairy tale villas

Even our ugliest old building looks beautiful in the low sun…

And I love our Castles, Hovdala and Wanås, always hosting spectacular art and exhibitions. Here josting and below Wanås with ants (from a South American artist) crawling over the faςade. They also have great areas for hiking and outdoor activities.

I do love this area, and I guess I would not want to live permanently anywhere else.

Monday Morning…

/ Leya / 22 kommentarer

…woke me up to a glorious, frosty day.

The tulip showed off her hair frost…

 

…the Lady’s mantle unfolded her hidden gems…

and the old roses were still asleep, in golden, pink dreams.

A crispy, delightful day – who would think that of a Monday?

 

WPC: Structure

/ Leya / 35 kommentarer

The perfect structure of the wings is best seen when the wings are closed – this Vanessa cardui, known as ”the painted lady”, displays a wonder of delicate structure. It is not very common in Sweden, but some three-four years ago we had about 20 of them in our buddleyas. This year, I have only seen two of them – but two wonders!
