Fly or die

Fly or die

It’s that time of year when most birds push their little chicks out from the nest. It’s a bit harsh. Fly or die! But it’s the rule of nature.

This is a Great tit. (For a brief moment I contemplated to use as headline for this post, could make traffic boom). He or she survived the first flight with a quick stopover on my shoulder.

Spread the wings of freedom, ha de gött!

Kalvö

Kalvö

Kalvö is one of three connected islands outside Havstenssund, Trossö-Kalvö-Lindö. Less than 10 people live on the island all year around but at it’s peak the islands had around 80 inhabitants. The island was an important hub for smuggling people and information for the resistance to the Nazi occupation of Norway during second world war.

Always try to be a good neighbor, ha de Gött!

True Lover’s Knot

True Lover’s Knot

This unusual looking flower has a beautiful name, True Lover’s Knot but is also called Herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia) and is as one of the names suggests, a herb. In Swedish it’s called ‘Ormbär’ and had a bit of a bad reputation in the old folklore. Growing in the dark forest grove and it’s unusual appearance made people reluctant to touch it. Will give you quite a stomach ache if taken for a blue berry and eaten, more than five, contact a doctor.

Embrace diversity, ha de Gött!
