This busy little bumblebee gave me a hard time. Never sat down long enough for a picture. Perhaps he is a bumblebee celebrity and doesn’t like paparazzi’s. Ha de Gött!

Chest up
Found these two pines today. Are they going up against each other or being supportive? Hugging or fighting for the space, like siblings. Two dancers on stretched legs with squirming arms in the wind.

Calm
Calm and still water in the early spring morning. Sun has already started to warm the air. Birds singing in tree and bush. Calling for attention, a mate to pass on the DNA. Some has already laid eggs and the parents take turn to keep them warm.
Walking through the forest birds are singing but as I approach the water birds start to scream. Why do seabirds scream? The seagull couple nest out on the little islet in the bay. Safe from most predators but not all. Big commotion when a large herring gull tries to steal the eggs. The smaller seagulls loudly and fearlessly attacks the bigger birds.
After a few minutes calmness returns. I don’t know if the seagulls manage to salvage the eggs and scare the herring gulls off. I guess this was just one of many attempts for the day. With only 9°C in the water I decide not to take a swim.
Ha de Gött!

Enslingen
Shelter, against the wind Savior, from the deep Alone, on bare rock Stubborn, trough time
This little shelter is called “Enslingen”. Translates to “the loner” or “the hermit”. It is built on the bare rock by the waterfront. Not very much information is to be found about this boathouse. I asked my father-in-law and he had a book with some info. I was expecting exiting stories but it was basically on two sentences.
It was built around year 1900 in this place as the bare rock was perfect to dry the large fishing nets. With the help of sun and wind they soon dried up. Now 120 years later it is a resting place for photographers and hikers in this fantastic natural preserve. Ha de Gött!

Footprints
Untouched sand beach. Only footprints from the seagulls. Looking for something to eat at the waterfront. Washed up oyster shells casting a shadow in the evening light. Sometimes life is places like this.

Butterfly
Small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) is one of the most common butterflies. It can be found all over Eurasia. This early spring moth survives the winter as a fully developed butterfly. It manage this by hibernating in sheltered places. Peoples housing is perfect and the survival rate is high with the help of leaking warmth. Even so it is rapidly declining in numbers.
Interesting name, butterfly. It is not very greasy but it can fly. Perhaps the male does some smooth talking when courting. Not only spreading its wings. In Swedish its called fjäril, a very gentle sounding word. For those of you that don’t speak Swedish I recommend to paste it into Google translate and listen. With my imagination it can be translated in “standoffish wind”.

Keys of May
Yellow and golden like the spring sun. The Cowslip (Primula veris) also called common cowslip. The English name does not make it justice but it is often found in ground where cows graze. Think I like the Swedish name Gullviva better. Could be translated into spring gold.
My wife call them keys of may (I don’t really have the heart to tell her that there is a completely different flower with that name) as they starts to bloom in the first days of may. They appear in plenty in the fields around our house. Ha de Gött!

Free
Free like a bird fly where ever you want soaring the winds up high sun kissed wings What, no service on this flight gizzard is empty, scream freedom gone, got to land dump excessive weight on a bald Should have listen take the full coarse attention stopped after taking off now I wish to be caught
The words were just flying around in my head. Perhaps a bit to much whiskey yesterday evening. I think this poem needs a rescue operation! Ha de Gött!

Raven
It flew past me, real close, form behind. Sounding its characteristic jarring sound right over my head. Even if I almost filled my pants with fear I managed to get this shot.
The large black Raven (Corvus corax) is a mythical bird. It has a very central role in the Vikings mythology. The god Odin (Oden) sends his two ravens Hugin and Munin out in the worlds, both gods (Asgard) and mans (midgard), to gather information for him. It is not only considered holy but also very intelligent. Krax, ha de gött!
