One week late, the Easter bonfire. This tradition dates back the mid 1700 in Sweden and Finland. The are lit to welcome the spring. Mostly to scare of the Easter witch flying on their broom to the island Blåkulla to feast with the devil.
Easter is the day when Swedish children traditionally go trick or treat dressed up as Easter witch or Easter man. Sadly this tradition has lately faded out and been taken over by the imported Halloween tradition.
Fly safe, ha de Gött!
Sheep (ovis ares) ewe with her two white lamb. She slowly accepted this strange looking animal and let me get quite near but keeping a close watch.
Be soft, ha de Gött!
One of the earliest spring flowers. Blåsippa, (Hepatica nobilis) in English hepatica, liverwort, kidneywort, or pennywort.
Let the sunshine in. Ha de Gött!
A pair seeking food in the wet grass, keeping a close watch of the photographer. The common crane (Grus grus) is large bird with long legs and neck to be able to seek food in shallow waters. Usually they gather in large flocks during spring for their mating dance. Guess these two skipped that part.
Then they fly off, ha de Gött!
Things around falling apart everything looks bleak and dark when outlook is crashing down giants eats the light around don't worry, everything will be fine I'll just put the kettle on
Tea fixes everything, ha de Gött!
Chill, ha de Gött!
I wonder what to write
often this inner fight
should I write a quote
or an ode to a leaking boat
brighten up my life
an poem of love to my wife
full of speed a sonnet
and stick it to my bonnet
Sail away on a sea of words, ha de Gött!
Two swans passing over the calm sea in the early spring morning.
Ha de Gött!
Little red hut
by seaside discrete
was anything but
Hold on it will clear up, ha de Gött!
Shhh, ha de Gött!
