Cee asks us for things with edges – these are pieces of edginess! The petroglyphs, or rock engravings, in Vitlycke are from 1000 – 500 BC. Ships, love and magic. We visited with the class in May.
People went to sea and they portrayed their grand ships. We went to sea as well, and at sea we found even more edgy creatures. Starfish and corals.
Floral macros for Cee! It’s no secret that I love flowers…and there are more flowers here.
Last week I was featured on Cee´s Photography – thank you so much, Cee – it’s an honour!
I have been away with my students for some days to Bohuslän, which is on the west coast of Sweden. Of course this means Water! One of the days we had the opportunity to go by boat with scientists from the University of Gothenburg to dig up animals and plants from the bottom of the sea for examination. And we had a magnificent evening by Gullmarsfjorden.
My many hikes and walks tell me that I have to find the best ones for Cee…now that she gives us the opportunity to share them!
The levada walks in Madeira are marvellous. The stillness in the air and the soft scents along your walk make you never want it to end.
The hiking trails in the Pyrenées can be rather difficult, but their beauty is outstanding. And so are the ”Pancakes” of New Zealand.
In New Zealand you can also find these magnificent boulders on a sandy beach of the South Island.
Finally something of Ground. From the magnificent plateau in the Himalayas – on the road to Lhasa, Tibet.
So many wonderful colours and blossoms meet me every day now. In the early morning the yellow stands out in the fields…
…and in the middle of the day, when visiting a dear old friend of mine, she proudly showed me her little tree covered in a shower of pink.
Arriving home I went out in my garden to love the last rays of sun nesting in the cherry blossom. What would life be without Spring?

Nothing beats Nature when it comes to Art.
Early in the day this little coot was doing her morning toilet standing in a pool of water. She was silently watching me while going about it.
Moss and lichen are small but beautiful works of art. Together, earthen brown and light green are naturally soothing and mind lifting.
My last picture for work of art belongs to a series of morning views in my blog Warden Spirits. Early morning mist over the fields.
Well, some animals found in nature are wild and some are domesticised – I love them all (except spiders and cockroaches…). These I met today on my way home. Some liked being photographed while others didn’t think much of it – just flew away…
I know, I know…I’m late, but…this is one of my favourite oak trees in Blekinge – or was. This spring we passed the mansion by car and found that the magnificent oak was broken and gone. It has been there since I was very young and last year it still had some fresh leaves. The many storms last autumn must have been too much for this old friend.
To catch a river of beauty I don’t have to travel far away…
…this is Almaån in Sweden, close to my home.
Flowering now in Sweden, Skåne, are these beauties:
Magnolia tree
Marsh marigold or kingcup
Hackberry
