🇳🇴🇺🇦 It is Sunday - hope you all have a peaceful and relaxed one❣️
Whether they appeal to the best in us, give us wise advices, watch over us - or just give us heavenly music - we all need an angel or two in our lives, don't we?

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have a terrific Saturday❣️
😄 Those were the days - when most of the golden leaves still hung on the trees, when it was sunny and temp was in the mid or low 60's.
🤨 Not today - it's already dark, a bit foggy and drizzling, temp just above freezing...

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Happy Friday❣️
😄 My late Mom honestly believed that chicken soup was a miracle cure for colds - and I actually think she was right.
So guess what I'm having for dinner today...
😅 Yep - 🐔 chicken soup!

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have a good Thursday❣️
Another one of Mother Nature's masterpieces - a stunning late August 2022 sunset...

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have a great Wednesday❣️
😄 Not bad for being sold in a regular grocery store, huh?
Anyway - I love their bouquets of these tiny, lovely red and white roses!

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Happy Tuesday❣️
Cityscape: Oslo's main street on an ordinary December afternoon, as usual full of people on their way to or from someone or something.
The slightly old-fashioned Christmas lights with the big white bells have looked like this for as long as I can remember...

🇳🇴🇺🇦 It's the start of a new week and a new month, - wishing you a wonderful December 1st❣️
From my heart to yours - (😄 and from this year's Christmas market) a beautiful piece of 🇩🇰Danish glass art.
I think this large glass heart will look amazing wherever it is hung!

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Hope you'll all have a peaceful and relaxed Sunday❣️
Looking into - or walking through - the stunningly beautiful 🌟 Starry Sky 🌟 light installation at Vinterland 🎄Christmas Market🎄gives you a kind of cathedral-like atmosphere - every time...

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have an amazing Saturday❣️
It still seems to be true - above the clouds the sky is always blue.
😄 And every now and then you even get a bonus - a sky adorned with a moon in the exact same color as the clouds...

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Happy Friday to you all❣️
😁 Well known fact: I love the beauty of sunsets and sunrises.
So when Mother Nature generously spreads her golden colors across the sky and clouds like this at sunset, I just can't resist capturing it with my camera...

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Wishing you all a marvellous Thursday❣️
And of course - 🦃 Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrates - hope you'll have a great day surrounded by family and friends!

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have an awesome Wednesday❣️
😄 I did post these gorgeous pink an light cream colored roses a couple of years ago (on Titter/X) - but as long as they're as beautiful as these, I think they deserve being reposted on a #RoseWednesday ...

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Happy Tuesday❣️
#ThickTrunkTuesday :
These large linden trees with gnarled trunks along parts of Oslo's main street - Karl Johans gate - are at least 150 years old. The photo on the right from around 1890 by Axel Lindahl shows what the street looked like back then.

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Monday greetings from Mr. Rudolf and me❣️
😄 Yay - he IS back! - He'll be working - I mean spreading joy - to anyone visiting the Vinterland 🎄Christmas Market in Oslo every day until New Years Eve.

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Hope you'll all have a peaceful and relaxed Sunday❣️
😄 On my very last visit to the area's allotment garden this year, I picked this beautiful bright orange marigold to give to you - so here it is!

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have a fantastic Saturday❣️
On a gray, cloudy, and cold (temp just above freezing) November day, I really long for sights like this.
😅 Is it much, much too early to say I'm looking forward to spring? I'm just asking...
November 22, 2025 at 2:32 PM
🇳🇴🇺🇦 Happy Friday everybody❣️
Since we're getting closer to 🎄 Christmas and it's time to fill out our wish lists - I've decided I'll put sunsets like this at the top.
😁 A copy of my list will be sent Mother Nature and the local weather gods...
November 21, 2025 at 2:28 PM
🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have a lovely Thursday❣️
This photo was shot an afternoon in our local park about a month ago - while most of the leaves still hung on the trees...
November 20, 2025 at 2:46 PM
🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have a wonderful Wednesday❣️
😅 For some reason, in Scandinavia we do call hollyhocks "Stokkroser", - so it's probably okay to post this purple beauty on a #RoseWednesday , - isn't it...?
November 19, 2025 at 2:57 PM
🇳🇴🇺🇦 Wishing you all a happy Tuesday❣️
😅 I don't know - but am I the only one who has imagination enough to see a face with tiny eyes, a round nose and a huge open mouth on this tree trunk? And what about the waving left arm and that autumn colored hair...?

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have a good Monday and start of another new week❣️
I noticed this furball as I passed the car - that facial expression made me think of a grumpy human...
😄 Maybe this dog's human did spend too much time shopping - or could it be just because it was Monday?
November 17, 2025 at 2:46 PM
🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have a great Caturday❣️
Brothers Roger and Bernt are best friends and mostly just kind and sweet.
😸 However, the boys' grandma reveals that Roger (the dark one) at times can be a little mischievous...

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Happy Friday to all❣️
Weekend flowers from our local florist for you:
The large blue-purple hydrangea was a clear eye-catcher in this bouquet, beautifully surrounded by purple heather, peach-colored roses and white chrysanthemums.

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have an amazing Thursday❣️
No one is better than Mother Nature at creating wonderful scenarios, - sometimes she even makes her masterpieces looking almost like a 🖌️🎨 painting...

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Have a wonderful Wednesday❣️
A soft focus on a Westerland rose for you on this #RoseWednesday.
😄 Can't remember making an outdoors rose shot this time of year before, - we've often had our first snowfall by this date...
