Children on wood

Children on wood
Our children seem to be inspired by their surroundings: Lili climbs up a tree, Otto meditates on a fallen trunk and Poppy claps a beat on a found wooden chair. Very photogenic :-)

Lakesides

Lakesides
We walked to 'beaver beach' (i e the beach found around a path that struck us as having been visited by a lot of beavers, as so many trees had marks of their typical way of gnawing on the wood, hence the name we gave it) and then carried on round the...

Flowers galore

Flowers galore
It is really the best season for small touches of colours in our woods still lacking leaves: everywhere we went today, we found carpets of blue and white anemones as well as the so typically Swedish bright yellow 'tussilago', the first flower to come...

By the lake, a snake and a frog

By the lake, a snake and a frog

Delicat(e)s

Ice, snow and blossom

Ice, snow and blossom
An incredible few weeks have just gone, and I won't even mention the Covid-19 situation... but weatherwise, we have been a bit shaken too: from icy-cold winds that could still freeze solid the shores of the lakes, to sudden snow blizzards taking us by...

While the ice is melting

While the ice is melting

Spring is in the art

Spring is in the art
The annual exhibition of amateur artists is here for a few more weeks, and we decided to go and have a look. Pete and I got on a boat and there we were, on a fairly sunny Sunday morning, together with...quite a few other punters - it was before the coronavirus...
