Went for a walk after work. The cows were all lying down but as I got closer, they got up and mooed at me. When I walked past, they even tried to follow me for a bit but cows are very laid-back and apparently I was just walking too fast for their taste so they gave…
One of the flowers I’ve nurtured from seed are still not blooming. I was starting to get a bit worried that they might not bloom all summer, but now I can finally see some buds. They are sure taking it slowly… even slower than this slug which was chomping away on one of the buds.
When I got out the door to go to work, I saw the same two roe deer again. They actually stuck around all evening yesterday so I think they slept close by and came to enjoy the fresh grass in the morning sun. With my knee no longer hurting, I cycled to work today. Can’t…
Always nice to see the roe deer. I wish both of them had their heads up at the same time, but they are very suspicious and watchful creatures so one was looking around and the other was eating.
It was one of those days, I had no ideas for my 365 so I just shot a few boring things in the garden and I didn’t even bother to transfer the pictures to the computer, I was going to do it as a last thing. But then later on when I went to the…
Another scorcher of a day, it was 28°C in the shade by 11am. The best place to be on such a day is to sit in an airconditioned car, and the next best thing is to walk on a sea shore to let the sea breeze bring relief to the heat. So that is what…
I only had one small window left, so I painted that in the morning and I was off on my way home already before lunch. I got to Särvsjö (about 20 km from Messlingen) when I heard an ominous sound… stopped the car and found that my right rear tire was flat. Horrified, I kept staring at…
I was dead tired today. I cycled almost 50 km yesterday, it’s nothing in Tour de France terms but for someone not trained in endurance sports (well, any sports), there’s a price to pay. And the price is having zero energy the next day. If you add the hot weather, wind, and sunlight filtered through…
So happy to see this little guy! It was actually quite exciting today, at first I saw two roe deer run across the field. A moment later, one of the roe deer came back to the field and as it turned out, it was a mommy roe deer picking up its kid. So that scene earlier,…
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the roe deer in the field. I’m keeping a diary of the wildlife observations around the house and the last observation is from 31 March. I used to see them regularly until last autumn, and now I only have some sporadic observations. Either they changed their route…
