Autumn lingers

cat

It’s never easy to capture animals on the move. I so wanted this cat to look into my lens before she ran away but this is all I got. She is a beauty though! I love the way her orange spots matches the leaves on the ground. It’s a perfect autumn blend.

Let’s pause

vissen

I remember how I unbuttoned your shirt and layed my head against your warm chest for comfort on that cold day. The beating of your heart rocked me to sleep almost like a child in a mother’s arms. Resting we were, together, hiding from the rest of the world, while the time stood still.

To cope

Thank you for all your sweet comments on my snow-post, I reall appreciate reading all of your words.

So here it is then, the period that I dread all year; winter. I am frightened. I do don't function well during the wintermonths, my soul is in a much darker place then. Some of you describe happiness when snow is brought up and some are like me, who much rather would fall asleep and dream sweet dreams of summer til' the end of february. Maybe I should go away, travel and see the forgotten corners of the world? If I could I most certainly would.

How do you deal with winter? How do you cope? I could use to sweet advice right about now.

Goodnight!

Welcome snow

When I pulled up my curtain this morning I saw this – SNOW! The winter is here and although I am not quite ready, I like it.

The appletrees are heavy with fruit and can be harvested any day now. I love this time of year when nature gives us so much.

The night’s are getting colder and beautiful frost now covers my lawn each early morning. Soon it’s here; winter.

I am not ready.

Garden art

A fading  infructescence in my garden. I often find beauty in faded things.

I have the day off today and it feels GOOD! I am now off to have lunch with a friend!

Ciao!

You don’t hum this away

hum2

hum1

Bumbelbees are cute, I have always thought so. Here are two, feasting on a piece of orpine in the beack of my garden.

Somethings aren’t easily humbed away. Feelings for example. I am going through some of that right this minute.

Be safe!

On a hike

We live in a beautiful world. Let’s treasure it.

Hope all is well with you all. I work almost every day and I love it! Life is busy.

Be safe!

Solitude

alone

I am.

The deafening silence makes my ears hurt.

After rain

I woke up in the middle of the night last night, suddenly remembering the smell of your coat after rain. I switched on the radio to quench my solitude but you stayed all night in the depth of my mind.

Feeling at ease

wheat

I am enjoying days such as these when my soul feels utterly still.

A thing or two about falling

I never forgot.

Seasons change, we change

Autumn.

Let’s linger here, in the crisp september air and the sound of leaves falling. Walk with me beneath the birches and the dying grass. I need you know.

Un pause

1cloud (kopia)

I adore moments such as these, sitting on a stony shore, watching the clouds and their play.

The waves of obliviousness

wave

Wanting, craving, but never having can make one tired. I lack of sleep since you haunt my every dream. Why are you there, why are you hiding behind each corner only to jump out and remind me of my aching? 

I long for oblivion, for silence and ease.

Coffee anyone?

lifeboat

Is it true that the coffee from McDonalds is the very best?

The whole idea with this shot was that all of you who uses coffee as a lifeboat during sleepy days would recongnize themselves.

The lifeboat sign is from a lake nearby and the empty coffee mug belongs to a friend. I thought it would be a perfect blend.

Kitchen disasters

sylt

tada

I have been making jam out of my black currants today and here is the disastrous result! The hole pot overboiled and my stove looked awful. I ended up with a few beautiful jars though and those are now rigorously stacked in the back of my pantry.

Goodnight to you all!

Street art

train

This is a shot taken a month ago at an old railway station. I was walking among the coaches trying to find the best possible angle and I found this. I love the colors and the numbers.

 What do you think?

Listen

Hush.

I hear every word, can’t you see?

I wish for a softer and more quiet place.

Wanna go?

The twirl of everyday life

Hey folks!

The autumn is really here but as long as the sun is up I’m happy!

I have been busy these last couple of days since we have had some relatives visiting but now I am back on track again. I spent the whole afternoon outdoors, walking the garden, searching for new, but yet undiscovered treasures. I found a couple too..

Ciao!

ps. I changed my header.. ;)

Autumn lies upon us

vinbär

It’s true. The mornings are colder now and you can’t go barefoot any longer without getting frightful. It’s sad really for I am not ready yet. Nor will I ever be. If I could stay in a certain mood forever it would surely be the sweet mood of summer. I don’t like the changing of seasons.

söndag 16 augusti 2009

Work work work!

I am SO sorry for the lack of posts lately but I have just started at a new workplace and have a millions things to do!

I am still reading all your lovely blogs though so I'm not missing out on anything that goes on here in blogger world!

I miss being out exploring but as soon as I get a day off I will! Don't despair, pictures will come!

Ciao!

Dining out

Sometimes you need to give yourself that little extra! For me it’s this, a simple ceasar salad at the town’s hotel.

Be safe out there.

Where my heart lingers

place

Your place. Mine too.

I linger here beacause it is at this very place my heart feels you the most. Damp moss, midnight walks and featherlike kisses on the corner of my cheek. It has all happened here.

I am unable to leave this place. Please don’t make me go.

Upstairs

I have a little shortcut on my yard, to the man upstairs…. ;)

Bells of freedom

Free - I wish I was, I wish we both were <3

Downtime

mormorsblomma

The days are so long and so lonley.

I live only on memories, like a small sparrow feeding on crumbs from a table, having barely enough to live.

Yesterday’s crumbs and other simple things

 lunch

Less har always meant more to me than grand big things. Simple is what I prefer. Yesterdays crumbs and my halfeaten lunch is what I wanted to show tonight.

Simple - like the way your coat smells after a day in the woods or the way you fold your striped shirt at night. I wonder if you think of me as you walk around in that big house of yours or as you sneak away down to the basement for a moment or two alone. I thought of you today.

Bird unknown

Anyone who knows what kind of bird this is? I saw it last night while fishing with a friend. Exciting it shall be to hear your guesses!

Envy and the drainpipe

 green

A green bud leaning against the rainwater pipe outside the house. Soon it will bloom and make all the other flowers jeaulous of it’s beauty. I have learned though, that envy is not a happy thing. Let’s avoid it if we can.

HELP!

Dear friends!

Does anybody know how you can protect your images with a flashfunction so no one can steal them? Does blogger have this at all?

Love, I.

Who knew

bro2 

I was off exploring earlier tonight with a friend and we found this bridge. Who knew this place existed so close to our homes? I surely didn’t. I can see myself sitting here, on cool summer nights, dreaming of better days.

bro

I love old railroads! Here is a shot from the bridge itself. An old railroad track goes right trough it. Facinating isn’t it? Wish you all could have been there.

Ciao!

Simply dinner!

 dagens 583 

A lonely plate filled with chicken, yellow peppers, chili and a mild curry served with some rice. YUM! 

I like this dish beacause it’s so simple and it’s good for you too!

A sunny breakfast!

Sliced strawberries from my grandmothers garden, blueberries and yellow raisins + a glass of juice! The perfect daystarter!

What are your favourite breakfast?

Thoughts of harvest

 tomat1

tomat2

My garden is in bloom and I can harvest tomatoes any day now.  Yay!

We have had some autumn-like days here lately and today as I took a stroll behind the house I noticed that the currant bushes are on their way too. I love this time of year when we harvest the most. Blueberries and cloudberries fill the forest as we speak and I can barely wait to take them home.

Be safe! Ciao!

I did it!

Freshly baked cinnamon rolls! =) I am proud! Am usually not a very good baker, I just get things burned and uneven.. but not this time!
