Acorn

Acorn

An acorn for your Sunday. This little Oak seed will most likely be winter food for birds or small rodents. The Eurasian jay often brings it into open fields and bury it in the ground for the winter. If not found it will germinate and, if surviving grazing animals, grow up to become a mighty Oak tree.

From small to mighty, ha de Gött!

Swans

Swans

Slowly the trees changing for autumn color as shadows getting longer. The swan family gently and proud swims across the bay. This year three out of four chicks survived. A good year for this couple.

Swans famously mate for life even if “divorces” is not uncommon. They build their nest direct on the ground close to the water. Mr Swan is very equal, helps to build the nest and even broods the eggs. He is very protective and keeps a very close watch when I pass them to my boat.

Proceed gracefully, ha de Gött!

Shave

Shave

Once so silky and smooth

soft as mothers caress

pinched by lady in blue hair

As voice got dark

nature made its remark

a sandpaper like texture

This ancestors heritage

I wish I could escape

these cheeks like an ape

I know it’s not a big thing but I really hate shaving, ha de Gött!

Sheep talk

Sheep talk

We had a nice chat but not all were interested. They ware more interested to see if I had any goodies in my backpack or if my clothes was edible.

Say what you mean and mean what you say, ha de Gött!

Sunbathing

Sunbathing

A Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), Storskarv in Swedish, spreading its wings in the sun, probably to dry up after a dive for fish. This large black bird can be found all over the world in different variations. Hunted to near extinction as it is considered a competitor for fishing but has recovered well after hunting ban.

Too much or too little spoils everything, ha de Gött!
