Let us wrap the Monday in a cozy soft cotton-grass (Eriophorum angustifolium), in Swedish Ängsull. Thrives in open wetlands all over the northern hemisphere.
It’s hard to be soft, ha de Gött!
Already when I took this shot I was ready to delete it due to overexposure. With a lot of work in Lightroom it came out okay or what do you think?
I almost expect Jesus or Odin to descend from the sky or it may just be my guarding angel making sure I saw the shallow. Theme from Star Wars fits here, so click here to hear my son perform it on the church organ.
Always challenge Mr Delete, ha de Gött!
The world is my oyster
oyster is my world
gasping more more more
empty hollow shell
beached on display
pearl at pearly gate
Don’t throw pearls at swines, ha de Gött!
Sometimes the double is better than the original.
Take time to reflect, ha de Gött!
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 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!
Spider king size bed
soft and cozy
rocked by the wind
Don’t let the bed bugs bite, ha de Gött!
After rain the sun will shine trough, ha de Gött!
Berby Herregård outside Halden in Norway behind all the green.
Keep the borders open. Ha de Gött!
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!
