Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: My favourite things verse three

For Cee this week – some of my favourite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, Silver white winters that melt into springs, These are a few of my favorite things.

# 217 Orörd – Untouched (67/365)

En sällsynt dag idag – en dag av sol. En promenad under lunchen gick till sjön. Orörd snö täcker fortfarande den tunna isen.

An unusual day today – a day of sun. A walk to the lake during my lunch break showed a still untouched cover of snow on the thin ice.

# 334 Utmärkt – Marked (65/365)

En god vandringsled är alltid utmärkt – oftast med målade cirklar eller streck på stolpar eller stenar. I Vedema står det här monumentala döda trädet och visar vägen.

When hiking the paths are always marked to show the direction. Often with paint on stones or posts. In Vedema this monumental dead tree is showing the way.

# 88 Fäbod – Shack where you keep cattle/Mountain farm (64/365)

I Skåne kallar vi det här för fäbod, medan ordet har en lite annorlunda betydelse längre norrut i Sverige.

A play with words, but still this has to do with people keeping animals. In Skåne ”fäbod” doesn’t mean exactly the same thing as in northern Sweden. Up there it is more a mountain farm.

 

# 288 Stamställe – Favourite place/Place with trunks…(Play with words) (62/365)

Vi går ganska sällan ut och äter…så det här är mitt eget stamställe.

We seldom eat out on restaurants, so we have no real favourite place where we go often. This is my ”place with trunks”!

# 291 Stenhård – Hard as Stone (54/365)

I Vedema ligger enstaka klippblock utslängda mellan träden. De är både stora och vackra – och stenhårda mot den mjuka mossan.

In Vedema there are huge rocks and boulders thrown out among the trees. Surely left from the latest ice age, they stand hard as stone against the soft mossy ground.

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: This Land is My Land

As I was walking that ribbon of highway, 
I saw above me that endless skyway: 
I saw below me that golden valley: 
This land was made for you and me.
 I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps, 
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; 
And all around me a voice was sounding: 
This land was made for you and me.

Of course Cee’s challenge must be applied on my own country and land – Sweden.
