# 333 Ur led är tiden – The time is out of joint (10/365)

Direkt ur Hamlet – som så många gånger hämtas talesätt från Shakespeare. Den här gynnaren fick Totti syn på under promenaden. På en mossbeklädd sten invid bäcken, alldeles för tidigt uppstigen. (April tidigast?). Tyvärr fick den då plikta med livet.

A quote from Shakespeare (Hamlet)- as many of our quotes still are today. The time is out of joint. This poor grass snake must have thought it was spring already (we had 9 degrees C) and so went out to bask in the sun – his boldness cost him his life.

Dungen är vacker även på vintern.

Early morning – frosty walk

Freezing cold – oh joy! And to finally see the sun is glorious. To be alone, walking and marveling about our glorious nature. How the birds can survive this cold and sleep gently on the ice. How the frosty grass meets the eye with its glittering diamonds.

Yesterday morning came without a wind. 11 degrees C and this photo is from a frosty walk about 9 a.m.

The Night Before Christmas

23 december, 201423 december, 2014 / Leya / 24 kommentarer

I have been sitting in the darkness by the Christmas tree. It’s raining. Some days ago I went to see The Hobbit – the last movie on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien. I enjoyed it even if there was too much war and fighting. A sad ending – of course. I was reflecting upon it, there, in the darkness.

I remember when I was young and read all his stories…just How Much I loved them. I think I still do. Black and white – not much grey. And, sometimes I still wish for a Magician to come and put everything right in this world…even if I know things will go wrong again – it’s human nature.

In order to restore my happy mood, I persuaded my children to watch The Intouchables (2011) with me. I love that movie, and I knew they would love it as well. It’s based on a true story, and its positive views and humour concerning the grim life we lead here on Earth cannot be overestimated.

From a dark and rainy Skane, Sweden, I wish you all a

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

To my help, I’ve had a little Magician of my own – Totti. Maybe that’s why you perhaps do not recognize him in this picture…

Vintersolståndet – Winter Solstice

22 december, 201422 december, 2014 / Leya / 5 kommentarer

Finally it’s here – now – Welcome Light!

Natten mellan söndag och måndag inträffar vintersolståndet och detta klockan 00.03 För övrigt är det sista gången det här århundradet som det inträffar 22 december – något som har att göra med skottårscykeln. Från och med år 2018 inträffar vintersolståndet den 21 december även det tredje året i skottårscykeln.

I år är alltså den 21:e och 22:e december i praktiken årets kortaste dagar. Här ser du hur pass många timmar den varar:
Grafiken visar dagens längd, dvs. antal timmar och minuter som solen befinner sig över horisonten. I Sverige är dagen som längst längs Skånes sydkust, där solen står lite drygt 7 timmar över horisonten. Ju längre norrut man kommer, desto kortare är dagen och i landets nordligaste del går solen överhuvudtaget inte upp över horisonten.

WordPress Photo Challenge: Yellow

19 december, 201423 december, 2014 / Leya / 53 kommentarer

Yellow is a very strong and happy colour, life giving and stands for intellect. In some countries in the West, it’s representing cowardice, but in Old China it was the Emperor’s colour, the most beautiful and prestigious colour of all.

According to Wikipedia, the word ”yellow” comes from the Old English geolu, geolwe (oblique case), meaning ”yellow, yellowish”, from the Indo-European base, gʰel-, as the word yell; gʰel- means both bright and gleaming, and to cry out.

Wearing yellow though, is not easily done for everybody – but looks stunning on people with dark or tanned skin, and preferably, dark hair. Lucky you who can shine in this beautiful colour!

To me, yellow means sun, spring and autumn. And, of course, the yellow houses in Denmark! For more of Yellow, click here.
