As the last light of the day.
Behind the horizon fades away.
The ice starts to sing and play.
Don’t walk the ice alone, ha de Gött!

Hornets Nest
I found this amazing and beautiful structure in the little hut we have in the forest. It’s a Hornets nest from last summer. The hornets chew wood to create paper that is clued together with their saliva. They prefer to build in dark places like hollow trees but can also build in houses.
The European hornet (Vespa crabro), Bålgeting in Swedish, is a rather large insect. The queen can be from 25 up to 35 mm in length, while the worker hornets are between 18 and 28 mm where the male workers are slightly larger. Only the female possess a stinger including the queen. The European hornet is carnivorous and eat other insects, including other wasps.
The European hornet generally avoids conflict but if stepped on or grabbed it will sting. It is also defensive of its nest and around food sources. The sting will hurt but if you’re not sensitive it’s not dangerous. Only the queen survives the winter and wakes up in May when she starts to build a new nest.
Don’t poke around others nests, it will sting. Ha de Gött!

Little forest brook
Ljus letar sig ner till bäcken.
Genom skogens täta grenar.
Leker tafatt med skuggan.
English version
Light makes its way down to the brook.
Through the forest’s dense branches.
Playing tag with the shadow.
You never know what’s hidden if you don’t look, ha de Gött!

Stone face
Looks a bit angry looking out over the sea.
Angry at the ocean for splashing it over again and again?
Angry at the humans for polluting the sea?
Don’t let your anger sink you, ha de Gött!

Hidden bay
Some places fills you with calm, this is one of mine.
I can sit there, out of the wind and just listen to the sounds.
Waves breaking and swooshing up the beach.
The clicking of the colourful stones.
As they struggle to stay on as the water runs back to the sea.
Just to collect new energy.
Do the same again, but never ever the same.
Remember to stop so you can find your place, ha de Gött!

Shades of grey
Not 50 but this title might lure the search engines so my blog gets some more hits. Not my intention but the weather this Christmas has been grey and colourless so the title is fits.
Still I went to the beach but, even if the temperature in the water is the same as in the air, +5°C, I didn’t go for a swim. Still a good walk along the sea after all the Christmas food and candy before I start to look like Santa.
Grey is also a colour, ha de Gött!
