Cookies

 Today is Kladdkakans (sticky chocolate cakes) day in Sweden. I made a version of that in the shape of cookies and felt like I needed to make a still life. 

Pumpkin time!

 It's pumpkin season and I bought some small for decoration. 

Hunnebostrand

 Last year we visited Nordens Ark at Hunnebostrand in Sweden and when we took a walk in the evening I took this photo in the surroundings of the park. 

Yellow Dahlias

 I realise that it's a lot of flowers right now on this blog, but I try to enjoy my flowers in the garden as long as I can, soon the frost is here and the flowers are no more. 

I also found this bottle in the barn, it has belonged to my grandmother and I thought it would be great for a still life, and I think it worked out very well.

 

Flowers

 Yesterday I went on a bouquet binding class, a short but very nice one and this is what I came home with. 

Tomatoes

 What could be better than to be able to eat your home grown tomatoes!

Wild meadow

 We are trying to create a wild meadow with flowers for the bees and butterflies and it's really starting to look like I had imagined. 

Chive flowers

 Had an idea of a photo with Chive flowers, and remembered this vase that we got when we got married. Really happy with how it looks like a hair piece. 

Fir Blossom

 When you try to take a photo of a fir blossom with it's beautiful color and you get something extra as well...

Pasqueflower

 When I was young or even a child my father used to talk a hole in my head about Pasqueflowers every spring. I didn't understand at all his fascination about these small flowers. Until now when I finally have them in my own garden. I would also like to say that my father took photos of everything, and he would have been so proud to see this small flower in his daughter's garden that also happens to be his childhood home. 

Tea cups

 Found these adorable tea cups and pot at a second hand shop and knew I had to make a still life with them. 

Sallow

 Branches of Willow in my grandmothers old vase, that I love very much. 

Snowdrops

 At last some of the spring flowers are here in my garden in the south of Sweden! Love these simple little Snowdrops. 

Another Blue tit

 This poor little blue tit got all his feathers in disorder by the wind today!

Blue tit

 It snowing all time right now in Sweden and the small birds are finding it hard to find food in the forest. We try to feed them as much as we can. This little Blue tit found its way to our feeding station the other day. 

Cinnamon bun

 Went into town today and got me a cinnamon bun for my afternoon tea. Couldn't resist taking a photo of before eating it. 

A frosty day in the forest

 I've got a new macro lens and I love it! Took this photo of a very frosty branch today in the cold but beautiful forest.
