This gloomy Monday I went back to one of my favorite hiking spots –
– in pictures only…because this year has not allowed any hiking there due to the extremeweather with heavy rains.
But, as soon as the weather allows it – I will return, and enjoy the serenity here.
The stillness and solitude is tangible-
In a week or two from now, I will go up north to visit my daughter. Last year we went in February as well, and visited the Sapmi market, Kiruna and the ice hotel too.
This time we will only visit Umeå, where Emma is studying. Umeå is called ”The city of birch trees” and is a very lovely city even when the birches are covered in snow. Looking forward to going there again! Umeå is a city of culture and has hosted many spectacular events. This February we hope to see the famous snow sculptures.
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.
Why this cake?
Because my daughter loves baking smashing things just for fun!

Ailsa, you once invited me to participate in your Travel theme – and I have, almost every week, for several years. Your theme will be greatly missed, but I hope we will keep You!
My interpretation became a long one…almost every picture will have an explanation as to why they represent Adventure. Not that I think the explanation is needed – but still.
Thank you for all these years of hosting! Life is the greatest Adventure.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Letter X – X needs to be anywhere in the word or shaped like the letter X
For Cee’s challenge this week – I go for shape. A mountain meadow in Switzerland – flowers and steep hills. There is need for an X- fence.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Letter U – Needs to have the letters O and U in the word
An outdoor shot that speaks to my soul – for Cee this week.
Looking back on the trip to Ireland last year, brought back a rush of green love through my veins.
How I love this countryside!
And the seaside!
Dark skies over the meadows – but no rain…
…only golden gorse glowing in the dark.
