I look forward to another great new year on the web with you.

MY WORLD





The above photo was taking the day before we got
a heavy snowfall - 80 cm snow in one day. See the photo below.

I have never experienced anything like this before.
We were advised to stay at home.
If we had to leave the house, we had to call for a tracked vehicle.

All the trees in the garden are totally covered in snow.



Så här mycket snö har vi aldrig fått på så kort tid.
Visst har jag längtat efter en vit jul, men så här generöst
hade jag inte förväntat mig att det skulle bli.


I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

TODAY´S FLOWER

Helleborus Niger
"Christmas Rose"


The legend tells that this flower sprouted in the snow
from the tears of a little girl because she didn´t have
a gift for the Christ child in Betlehem.

CLIMATE CHANGE




The Climate Conference is taking place
only one hour´s drive from my home.
Therefore, I decided to post this photo.

Hillary Clinton is now here and
tomorrow Barack Obama will arrive.
I really hope that the outcome of
the climate talks in the end will be successful.

FIRST SNOW - FÖRSTA SNÖN

Hammars Backar, Skåne
South of Sweden


Yesterday I went down to the sea and
everything looked like somewhere else.
The hills were painted white
and the sky was blue.

Jag här längtat så länge efter en blå himmel.
Igår gjorde den blixtvisit.
Och döm om min förvåning -
när jag kom ner till havet var hela landskapet målat i vitt.
Men bara just där och ingen annanstans!

UNDESIRABLE - ICKE ÖNSKVÄRD

Green Rose Chafer Beetle
/Cetonia Aurata


This green little beetle is feeding off the pollen of my roses.

They are welcome to my garden, but not to my roses.

They are found on warm sunny days,
mostly in southern and central Europe and the UK.

So why are they here in northern Europe????

Lövgroda - European treefrog

Det är en hyresgäst som jag värnar om och hoppas att familjen stannar.

STORMY WEATHER

Schneeball Hortensia


The winds are howling, the clouds are dark, the rain washes the windows.
My hiding place is now my orangery.
A cosy and warm place, where I can extend the summer season
and still enjoy the blooming of some flowers.


Vädrets makter är nu inte nådiga.
Regn och rusk är här
och jag tar min tillflykt till orangeriet,
där jag njuter av en förlängd sommar-säsong.

TODAY´S FLOWER


Autumn is the season of change -

and a very dramatic season.

The colours are brilliant and the shapes change.

My garden is now preparing for a long sleep.



Hösten är en period av förändring
Färgerna är skarpa och formerna byter skepnad.
Min trädgård förbereder sig nu för en lång vila.

BLOOMING FRIDAY


Trädgårdens förvandling fortskrider.

Är det inte just det, som är så spännande?

Att naturen byter skepnad utan att vi kan hejda den.

Ibland sker det snabbt och obarmhärtigt

och ibland dröjer förvandlingen.

Den liksom stannar upp ett tag.

Men så plötsligt fortskrider tidens gång

och den vackra blomman blir ett minne blott.




The garden changes amazingly in this season.

And present us with a huge transformation of colours.

I love to watch the gradually turning of colours in my garden.


My grateful thanks to Katarina at Roses and Stuff for hosting Blooming Friday.

MUSIC


I LOVE THE MUSIC OF THE LITTLE BIRD...


singing i my bush and filling my ears
with beautiful melodies.

That makes my heart sing
together with this little bird.


That´s a magical thing and I wonder -

Why do the birds sing?

"TIME TO SAY GOODBYE"

This sad rose makes me remember

MY FROZEN ROSE

The saddest thing of beauty
is the beauty of a frozen rose.

Min älskade ros har klätt sig i vinterskrud.
Hennes sorgsna skönhet dröjer sig kvar.
Snart är det dags att ta farväl.

BAGS

The theme for this week´s Photo Hunt is - "Bags".


I´m not a shopaholic, but I have to confess that
I love shopping at Hong Kong.
I always get the "Shopping Fever" when I have checked into "my" hotel.

The first thing I do, is to run across the street to the
Pedder Building, to check out my favorite store Shanghai Tang.

I always end up with several carrier bags - perhaps a lot more than I need

...but I always find an excuse.

BLOOMING FRIDAY



I NEED THE COLOURS OF LIGHT

Nu är nog bästa tiden att tillbringa i orangeriet.
Ljuset har bytt skepnad och jag bara njuter.
Utanför blommar fortfarande massor av rosor
och jag sitter bara och betraktar Alltet.
Känslan av att jag borde klippa lite rosor
eller rensa bort ogräs - är som bortblåst.

Jag fixar en Latte - lyssnar till Melody Gardot och
tillåter mig att glömma både tid och rum.
Jag vill stanna tiden NU och bara njuta!
...

Autumn is in the air -
the best time is Now!

It´s hard to believe that summer is over.
My garden is still full of blooming roses.
Now...is the best time to spend in the orangerie.
Here I can relax...enjoy my latte and
listen to my favorite - Melody Gardot.

AUTUMN SCENE

IN MY BEECH FOREST

My way to Paradise


Since TNChick has given us a FREE WEEK,
I would like to take this opportunity to
invite you all to my Paradise -
a nature reserve which is created by earthquakes and faults.

We would walk together in this 50 meter deep valley
through this beech forest with trees like cathedral pillars
with dappled sunlight filtering to the floor
and we would listen to the silent magic.

When we stop to enjoy our picniq
I would tell you how much
I appreciate being a part of the PH-world
- which has given me so many new friends
from around the world and from different cultures.

And I want to thank you all, for all the nice comments
you have written in my blog.
I really appreciate your kindness
even if the words sometimes make me blush!

HAPPY PH-HUNTING!

COLOUR BLUE


BLUE IS THE WORLD´S FAVOURITE COLOUR.

I have always wondered why
some people like blue and others red.


- Blue sounds like stormy waves.

- Blue feels like tears in my eyes.

- Blue looks like the sky.

- Blue makes me feel good.


Blue is my favourite colour - today!

What is your favourite colour and why?
