Sometimes it pays to watch where you´re going. Almost stepped on this little beauty. After some investigation I found out it is called Bitter Vetch or Heath Pea (Lathyrus linifolius). In Swedish Gökärt. It is eatable but it suppresses your appetite. In medieval Scotland it was used to still hunger in time of food shortage. A slim slimming flower! Ha de Gött!
Today I share a slide show with some of the pictures I took in the last storm. Featuring music from my son Edvin. This song is named Corporate, piano version. Hope you like it.
Shelter, against the wind Savior, from the deep Alone, on bare rock Stubborn, trough time
This little shelter is called “Enslingen”. Translates to “the loner” or “the hermit”. It is built on the bare rock by the waterfront. Not very much information is to be found about this boathouse. I asked my father-in-law and he had a book with some info. I was expecting exiting stories but it was basically on two sentences.
It was built around year 1900 in this place as the bare rock was perfect to dry the large fishing nets. With the help of sun and wind they soon dried up. Now 120 years later it is a resting place for photographers and hikers in this fantastic natural preserve. Ha de Gött!
Untouched sand beach. Only footprints from the seagulls. Looking for something to eat at the waterfront. Washed up oyster shells casting a shadow in the evening light. Sometimes life is places like this.
Ha de Gött!
Small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) is one of the most common butterflies. It can be found all over Eurasia. This early spring moth survives the winter as a fully developed butterfly. It manage this by hibernating in sheltered places. Peoples housing is perfect and the survival rate is high with the help of leaking warmth. Even so it is rapidly declining in numbers.
Interesting name, butterfly. It is not very greasy but it can fly. Perhaps the male does some smooth talking when courting. Not only spreading its wings. In Swedish its called fjäril, a very gentle sounding word. For those of you that don’t speak Swedish I recommend to paste it into Google translate and listen. With my imagination it can be translated in “standoffish wind”.
Take the opportunity to check out my upgraded site. Ha de Gött!

Yes, spring is here. Flowers and nature bursting in nuances of green. Full of fantastic pictures waiting to be taken. If I just could see through my watering eyes. I have an allergy to pollen. Luckily there are H1-blockers. Ha de gött!
Yellow and golden like the spring sun. The Cowslip (Primula veris) also called common cowslip. The English name does not make it justice but it is often found in ground where cows graze. Think I like the Swedish name Gullviva better. Could be translated into spring gold.
My wife call them keys of may (I don’t really have the heart to tell her that there is a completely different flower with that name) as they starts to bloom in the first days of may. They appear in plenty in the fields around our house. Ha de Gött!
Free like a bird fly where ever you want soaring the winds up high sun kissed wings What, no service on this flight gizzard is empty, scream freedom gone, got to land dump excessive weight on a bald Should have listen take the full coarse attention stopped after taking off now I wish to be caught
The words were just flying around in my head. Perhaps a bit to much whiskey yesterday evening. I think this poem needs a rescue operation! Ha de Gött!
It flew past me, real close, form behind. Sounding its characteristic jarring sound right over my head. Even if I almost filled my pants with fear I managed to get this shot.
The large black Raven (Corvus corax) is a mythical bird. It has a very central role in the Vikings mythology. The god Odin (Oden) sends his two ravens Hugin and Munin out in the worlds, both gods (Asgard) and mans (midgard), to gather information for him. It is not only considered holy but also very intelligent. Krax, ha de gött!
The Gray Heron (Ardea cinerea) walks along the beach with its long legs. Stretching the long neck, looking for something to eat. Can be found in most parts of Europe, Asia and Africa. Ha de Gött!
