Perhaps a bit rude to take a close up on the flowers reproductive organs. I could not help myself because I got me a brand new camera and a macro lens. A 15 year technology leap. So this little flower shining so brightly yellow was the designated model. The first picture is with the new gear and the second is with the old camera. Still need to learn all functions but I’m quite pleased.
Keep your loved ones close, ha de Gött!
I decided to save some money, so I waxed the car. Now it looks brand new. The day after it was raining and I took this picture.
Better wax on the car than wax in the ears, ha de Gött!
Ulle Haddock the discoverer!? My flower identification app could not find out what type of flower this is. Could it be I found a new species? It almost looks like a sunflower but the stem is not more than 10 centimeters and more wood like than a sunflower. Also the leafs are different. If anyone know what it is please let me know. It grows in a sunny place in poor dry soil. Way too beautiful to keep from you.
Don’t wait for the sun, be the sun, ha de Gött!
This beautiful flower (Impatiens glandulifera) is considered an invasive species. Introduced to Europe by Dr John Forbes Royle 1839, from the Himalayas. In Swedish it is called “Jättebalsamin”, probably connected to the height of the plant, up to two meters. “Jätte” translates to giant.
Some funny English names, policeman’s helmet, bobby tops, copper tops, gnome’s hatstand or kiss-me-on-the-mountain. Just picture that, a gnome kissing a policeman in the sunset on the mountain while the copper mere rides up the hill.
Sowing the seeds of love, ha de Gött!
tone from green yellow and red gust chilly wind gently single down birds formation fly far away land left behind on the ground fade and dry yellow parchment wind tossed in shorter days
I wrote this to the autumn, inspired by the colorful leaf. Forming the words, I realized it was about me being left behind. Some days you just feel like a fading leaf, ha de Gött!
Free flowing water to the ocean. Just to be pushed up again.
In a wave powered by the wind. So it moves up and down.
Slowly grinding the rock. Grinding it to a smooth, bare surface.
Persistent alga holds fast. Green shelter for the ocean nursery.
We are 60% water. Pollute it, we pollute ourselves, ha de Gött!
Ran out of words today, ha de Gött!
Rings on the water, a brief moment alone Expanding rings connect, overflow and gone Tossed in to the world, flat stone slightly curved Flying elegantly with a bounce, one, two, three, four, five Then sink to be sunk, stone bound to take a dive
Sometimes on a Monday evening those moments just appears, ha de Gött!
On a shelf by the water below a 10 meter steep drop, we saw something as we passed by with the boat. Maneuvering closer we saw two goats settling down for an evening rest. For a human this cliff shelf is only accessible by boat or climbing down attached to a rope. Truly amazing climbers with their small feet.
Make sure your foothold is good, ha de Gött!
Like a family of little yellow gnomes, popping out of the decaying oak tree root.
Safely hidden in the fading autumn green leafs, reaching out for the eluding sun.
With yellow hats and casual collars, curiously sniffing the fresh chilly evening air.
Mycel safely connected to the root, signaling celebration their biodiversity flair.
I have not been able to find out what the name is these are, but they are beautiful still. Ha de Gött!
