Changing skies

Hey, look at this! Did you ever see a more amazing sky? I have no idea what caused this yellow-pink-purple line to appear but I threw myself in the direction of my camera so I could grab a piccie before it was gone. I've never seen anything like this before this evening and not after either. But I have a picture of it!

Rain season

Lots of rain coming down here lately. And more are coming this weekend. As far as I know, Sweden isn't monsoon country but I'm really starting to wonder about global warming. Our summers are getting awfully wet. And when the summer isn't wet, it's hot and dry. Oh well, at least it's fun to take pictures after the rain, with leaves and flowers full of glittering raindrops

My furry friend

Two friends are sitting on a bench enjoying a nice spring afternoon. And I'm taking sneaky pictures behind their backs. I liked the concept of "mans best friend" and the fact that the dog is sitting beside him on the bench, not on the ground.

What are you looking at?

Flipping through the pictures I've been taking lately I noticed they showed birds and flowers and not much else. Therefore, until I have managed to capture something else you will have to suffer posts with birds and flowers.

I met this guy one evening. He stared at me for a while before he went on to wherever he was building his nest. Or was it a she building her nest? Anyway, there we were on the path, staring at each other. I managed to take this picture before the birdie lost interest in me and left.

African pink

African daisies in pink and purple. I love these flowers, I used to plant them every summer when I had a deck to put flowers on. Now I just take piccies of them standing in other peoples flowerbeds.

From the bottom

These water lillies grow in the rose garden pond by the old castle. They're not tall enough to breach the surface yet but when they do, there will be gorgeous white flowers to take pictures of. Funny that the sun makes the underwater plants cast shadows on the bottom of the pond. I didn't see that until now.

I haven't the foggiest...

One foggy day in Helsingborg. I couldn't see more than maybe 20 metres in front of me. This picture is taken in the outskirts of the cemetary. Who knows what else was lurking in the fog that surrounded me? I kept waiting for a big black horse with a black rider to come forth and ride me down. Yes, I've been reading Lord of the Rings again.

For a friend

I learned yesterday that an online friend passed away this past Saturday. Faith was a lovely woman and a great friend. These lillies are for you, Faith, hugssss.

Bombs away

One of the scariest sights you see when out walking. A birds butt in a tree you need to pass under. You never know when the bird will decide to let the bomb drop. I've managed to dodge the bullet so far but I'm bound to run out of luck sometime. This is a dove by the way, lots of doves in Helsingborg.

Colors

Mom's complaining about me not posting any new pictures (Hi mom). I need to shape up and get back to blogging again. Since my mom likes colors I chose this picture for todays post. We have a lot of rhododendrons of different shapes and colors here in Helsingborg. Some of them are still blooming, for others blooming season are over. I managed to take this picture before the flowers were gone. Lucky me.
