Today was a good day – a good topic from WordPress. Hopefully the good days will uplift us all! Click here for more of them.

I had a day out in the garden, enjoying the few flowers I have left right now.

A cold spring and summer has not been the best for any flower, but finally the begonia is on its way…A closer look at her showed a little guest snuggled up close…

To my great joy, I also found the first flower for this year on my Passiflora – Passionflower. I adore this colour.

I went inside to get something to eat, when one of my old friends called. I hadn’t talked to her for some time – too much to do in spring and now – vacation. She suggested I come over this afternoon, but I was in the middle of fixing things in the garden and wanted to come tomorrow instead.

Impossible.

I was so looking forward to a chat, that I worked as fast as I could according to my plan, to be able to meet up in the evening instead. And so we did. We decided to go to Hovdala and the lake for a walk and talk. Of course I brought my camera – there might be excellent light as the sky was clear and the air warm.

The scent of ripening

The light was warm and soft as we started to really notice the mosquitos…

The blue and yellow streaks were amazingly clear

We both wanted to catch the mosquitos – I tried using the camera…
