I WISH I COULD SEE YOU!

One of the best things about blogging,

is becoming friends with fun and interesting people

from all over the world.

I want to wish you and your families peace and happiness

as well as good health and prosperity in 2010.

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????

SPEGLING

Lövgroda - European treefrog

I Sverige finns den här sötnosen bara här i södra Skåne.

Under parningstiden - april till juni - kväker den hela nätterna

och resten av sommaren hörs deras klingande konserter på minst en kilometers håll.

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

Dagens tisdagstema är - "Spegling".

Every Tuesday, participants post photos based on a theme.

This week´s theme is - "reflecting"
