WPC: Forces of Nature

8 maj, 20158 maj, 2015 / Leya / 31 kommentarer

One of the strange and interesting forces of nature is the force of eruptions, volcanoes. This lava stream was flowing down the Icelandic landscape in the 17th century, and is now a beautiful but dangerous moss covered area. You cannot see what’s hiding under the moss – there could be huge holes several hundred metres down – now neatly covered death traps.

For Ailsa this week’s theme is Subtle. Öland by the sea, deer and dancing lapwings in late evening light.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Clouds

26 april, 201526 april, 2015 / Leya / 14 kommentarer

Clouds this week, for Cee. Maybe we don’t think so much about there being clouds at night as well…but sometimes we are fortunate to see them if we happen to look out the window – as I did. They change every minute, and the scenery can be quite intriguing.

WPC: Early Bird

17 april, 201517 april, 2015 / Leya / 25 kommentarer

I’m afraid I’m not a natural early bird – but I have learned over the years. If I know I have to go to work or catch a flight or photograph something spectacular. I will be. An early bird. I have never regretted any early morning…

Vårpromenad i Magle – Spring walk in Magle Wetlands

11 april, 201511 april, 2015 / Leya / 21 kommentarer

Idag har varit den varmaste dagen i år hos oss – 23 grader C visade vår termometer i eftermiddag. Hundpromenaden förlades till Magle våtmark.

Today was the warmest day so far this year – 23 degrees C. The dog walk had to be at Magle wetlands.

En solig promenad med ljumma vindar – både vi och fåglarna trivdes alldeles utmärkt.

More than me and Totti were out walking today…

Färgerna är fortfarande bleka, men vårljusa och harmoniska.

The colours are still pale, but ”springy” in harmony.

Grågässen hade parkerat mitt på gångstigen, men lyfte snyggt så att vi kunde passera. Ingen reaktion på hunden alls.

The greylag geese had parked in the middle of the path, but soared lightly away when we passed.

Kanadagässen betraktade oss uppmärksamt på avstånd. Inte min förtjusning dessa gäster, men ganska vackra att se på. Smutsar dock ner kolossalt.

The Canadians (!) watched us attentively from a distance. Not my favourites these, but rather beautiful birds to look at. Unfortunately they leave so much of unpleasant things on the paths and close to the water.

Denna praktfulla padda stelnade i steget och lät mig fotografera från flera håll. När jag var klar klev han lugnt vidare över gången mot vattnet.

This beauty froze in this position for minutes – for me to photograph him, surely. And, when I was finished, he slowly crawled down to the water. Maybe I should have given him a kiss?
