Little kitty

This little girl is adorable don’t you think? :-) She is my pal!

Close your eyes and play

Sing to me and I shall listen.

Come soon for I am on fire inside..

Music for a change

One of my favourites.

Listen and dream.

A melancholy day

Please love me if you can.

Listen

Hush.

I hear every word, can’t you see?

I wish for a softer and more quiet place.

Wanna go?

One, two, three

CHANTARELLES!!!!

I love them, truly and without doubt.

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

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.

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.

Ciao!

Where my heart lingers

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

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!

  

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

 

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!

Kindness, love and hope

I have been blessed this week with a visit from my cousins Anna’s family.  Anna, William, Annas father Kurt, Max and Annas husband Daniel have shown me what life is all about – family, kindness, love and hope.

You are an angel Anna.

I am happy. Thank you.

Mr. Moose

 

 

Here are some moose-shots also! I couldn’t decide whether I wanted him to be in color or b/w so I took both! Which one do you prefer? Feel free to share!

Me meets deer

Here comes another shot from the zoo! I believe this is a fallow deer but I am not sure, I didn’t pay much attention to signs next to the cages actually. This guy looked straight at me and what a beauty he is! I simply must visit zoo’s more often, anyone feel like joining?

I have been working tonight at my assisant nurse job, I hadn’t been there in ages but tonight I was. It felt amazing. I can’t wait to go back.

Now the bed awaits!

Cheers!

Bears at play!

   

Hey friends! Today me and my cousin Anna and her family went to the zoo and we had a lot of fun =0) I got stuck by the bear’s nest and immeadiately fell in love with these little babies. We wandered around all day by the animals and had a lovely lunch at the zoo’s resturant. A lovely day with an amazing family! My day couldn’t possibly get any better!

Hope you all are having a nice summer,

Ciao!

In love’s shadow

Last night, we were back at that place again. That old school. I have dreamt this so many times now that I have lost the count of it all.

The walls were dark, old white curtains swaying in the cold evening wind. I hear you moving up the stairs, softly, walking tip toe like you were in hiding. It must have been winter for the floors felt like ice under my bare feet.

You never left, you were always there, in that house, at that time, every day. Like I could come as soon I needed you and I would be greeted. Did you live there perhaps? Live in the shadow of love, never telling a soul about the aching, the hurting, the pain.

You told me and I listened. I therefore visit you again and again in this place and we bask in the warmth of each other. Two lonely souls, a man and a woman, in that big corridor on the top of the stairs in the back of my head.

The city are in bloom

Tonight I will let the pictures speak for me. I lack of words.

I am thinking about closing this site dear friends. Closing and focusing on other things in life. We'll see how it all ends.

Goodnight

A place that is sacred

 

A shot taken earlier this week in a church nearby. If I am not mistaken this church is the biggest in sweden of it’s wooden kind. I got baptised in this very place 24 years ago. It’s beauty and  architecture  takes the breath out of me. Hope you like it!

At the beach

Summer portrait of Sandra taken two nights ago down by the beach!

Om någon i storumantrakten eller närliggande byar skulle vara intresserade av ett liknande porträtt eller ett i färg så maila. Jag tar en hundring per porträtt och ni får dem redigerade och klara per mail i extra stor upplösning!

The rain lingers

 

The raindrops linger and have made large puddles on each and every blade. I am in need of balminess, of resurrection and feel like diving in…

On the deck

Shot taken earlier tonight on an old boat, she looks through an uneven hole in the deck. The texture of the white goes perfectly with the blue in her eyes. You like?

Me and the water

Weightless I swim in the dark cool water of yesterday’s dreams. Kicking my way past  the old boathouse I see you on the shore, the guitar in one hand and that faded songbook in the other. I like it when you sing, it makes me dream and makes my heart flutter like tiny butterflies resting softly on a beam.

Comfort for me

Tell me dear friends, what calms your restless minds on dark nights such as these?

Back on track

Thanks to Glen’s wonderful tip my camera now works again! THANKS Glen!

I have spent my evening with a friend, trying on shoes, talking over tea and exploring a little more sensual side of photography.

I Wish you all a wonderful wednesday night!

MY CAMERA IS BROKEN

Oh no, it has happened, the thing that I have been dreading for so long. My camera is broken and so is my heart. I am devistated. I can't find the words really.

I can see the shots in my camera but when I try to open them up and look at them in my computer I can't see them, then they don't exixt on the memorycard. What's wrong? Help me please. All the other shots I have taken before I can see but not the ones I have taken in the last day or two.

Why oh why? I am so very sad.

I am she

I cover my ears so my sense can't rule, I listen only to the beating of my heart and let my inner burning for you guide me. I am she who listens to no voice but her own.

I burn for you, unconditionally and without end.

Summer bloom

 

Orchids at full bloom.

Which one do you prefer? The orginal at the bottom or the dreamier version on top? Feel free to share!

Love at first sight

Folks, I think I’m in love! This is Torac, a lovely little German Shepherd. My friend Sandra took this little guy home a couple of days ago and I am smittened! Isn’t he cute? :0)

He can come and visit my house ANYTIME!

Accidents

Earlier tonight an ambulance helicopter took off right above my head. The writing on the side says “Västerbotten” and that stands for the state we life in if I am not mistaken. I liked the soft yellow against the blue sky. We have had far to many accidents up here lately.

Greetings to you all

I am sending you a little summer greeting from my sunny corner of the world. The weather is HOT and you can’t do anything except to rest in the shadow. Life’s good!

Life treasures

The pitter patter of a tiny child’s feet running up and down the stairs, little hands trying for the first time to get the shoe-laces right. This is all part of life’s happy treasures that we carry inside of us always.

How hollow one would be without memories just as these.
