Back home after a couple of days off grid in Stensjö #StensjöHamlet
Questions we discussed during 2 1/2 days were: How did the 'forest' or rather outland look like? How many trees were there in the in-fields? And how do we get it back? #culturalheritage #restoration #learningbydoing

Today I enjoyed chairing Laura Schat's excellent public defence of her thesis Evolutionary pathways to traits diversity and specialisation.
Great opponent Jeremy Beaulieu @phylieu.bsky.social .
Can you name the grasses? 😁

Wild flower hour!
15th of October is a special day and I photographed all wild native flowers I could find (36)
I found some others yesterday and a better hardball so in total 42 (the number to everything).
Not bad after the first frost in Stockholm. #vildaväxter

Great day. Solitude with my spotting scope. Nothing unusual, just calm. Forest, coastal meadow, birds, plants, coffee and sea what more can you wish for?
It might not be world peace but peace of mind and peace of heart

#birdiftheday #black or in this case quite uneven black grey. It's a leucistic Jackdaw I photographed. I think it is very smart looking. We are all different
