Ailsa’s Travel theme this week is about taking it easy – and breathe. Nature is the place to be…and that almost says it all for me.
Autumnal crisp air, walking with my dogs and my children – Breathing. In the header, the Swedish lakes and faraway mountains of Lapland.
Is it because of…
…or because of
or maybe because of…
my longing for a Knight in Shining Armour…
or at least a handsome knight… in any armour!
It might also be for the fair ladies and a love of horses…
…or for the spectacular jousting – and its Swedish Champions!
I do believe my love for this consists of all these things…and then, nothing beats the Hovdala Castle …
and its surroundings.

This day, 14 year ago, a remarkable friendship started between me and one of my most beloved friends ever. Mille. He came to us on May 9 and will stay for ever in our memories even if he left us, May 9, two years ago.
These two pictures were among the first ones I posted on my blog. I am very grateful for all the happy memories.
Totti is almost always happy, and many things make me happy as well – this is only a tiny selection…In fact, I like being happy, so I am constantly working on it…Thank you, Cee, for the reminder!

Sitting in my garden, looking at the fragrance of the summer flowers…
Hiking alone, meeting good old friends…
Camellia Williamsii ”Brigadoon”
Beautiful flowers…vibrant colours…
Music…
And most of all – travelling Life with my children!
Candle light in Sweden is perhaps mostly connected to winter and Christmas time. In the header, the wreath of box and candles I make every year for our dining room.
For Sylvain Landry – Candle.
Medieval restaurant in Riga – only candle light.

I have been nominated by my friend Sue, at WordsVisual, to take part in a challenge of a photo per day for seven days, of anything from the natural world. And every day I should nominate a new member.
Today, and in my last entry tomorrow, I would like to nominate all my followers and readers who love Nature and feel they can find time and joy in participating in 7-day Nature Photo! I know it is difficult to find the time – and I want to send my heartfelt thank you to you who answered my call, for wonderful comments and the possibility to see other’s beautiful entries on Nature. Nothing could please me more!
Yellow is a very special colour. It symbolizes a variety of things; for example the sun, being false (in the language of flowers) and power – only for the emperor of China.
I love yellow, but cannot wear it. Others can with elegance – like houses, vehicles and flowers.

Cars are quite OK…
Spring crops before the storm
Sylvain Landry – Women. International Women’s Day.
In the header – The old and the new China.

Rome – a connecting nun.
My mother, here 79 years old. Still hiking, still curiously looking forward to things…
A woman – not passé even if she is ageing.
