A cyclist swished past and it seems my mobile phone camera managed to catch his shadow 😀.

I can confirm that British culture is still spreading around. On my way to the shops, I saw this ‘London cab’ driving up to ‘the pub’ Bishop's arm. An unusual sight in a little Swedish town.

Good morning Esther and thanks for the picture of the beautiful yellow tree by the river in lovely #Trosa. Know it, have a cousin there. Wishing you and all your friends a relaxing day!

Thank you Esther! That’s a lovely picture of blue skies, your childhood church and the Danish flag. Wishing you and everyone on here a wonderful Sunday! Here is a picture of our church a week ago and it was still surrounded by summer greenery☀️.

Interior from one of the first, so called ‘free-church’ chapels, built 1874 and hidden in the deep forest. Today it has been moved to the nature park, just 2 km from the city center. Ecumenical service here on Midsummer Day. As always , great joy when friends meet.

Happy to have caught this owl on the mobile-phone camera. It sits about five metres above in the elliptically shaped entrance to the nest.

Yesterday’s outing. The Wood Anemones were still covering the forest grounds, birdsong was heard and some sunshine between the showers.

Signs of spring are slowly starting to appear. Happy colours are breaking out in parks and birdsong is heard again. Feels like everything is being prepared for celebrating Easter. Wishing you all a nice new week!

Not much sunshine today, but the ice on the canal and the river has finally gone. Crocuses are popping up and welcoming this unusually early spring. Hope there won’t be a setback. Wishing you all nice days ahead!

Had a cold walk yesterday, -13C degrees and ice on the river. Almost dark at 3 p.m. Still, according to the weather report, we are moving towards brighter times. Sunset will be at 15.11 today, even though it is hidden behind clouds the fact is, it’s getting better.

Something about our church: The sculpture ‘The Tree of Life’ is holding the lighted candles. We haven't had it for long, but as the church is open daily, it has shown how the possibility of having a private moment of stillness at this candle-holder is much appreciated.
