Ystad, South of Sweden
This winter has showed
that Mother Nature still is in control,
despite our modern technology and
the snow removal equipments.
I relax in front of the fireplace with a cup of tea
behind all new seed catalogues
and dream of spring and summer.
. . . . .
Vintern började tidigt i år. Vi blev insnöade i två veckor.
Sedan stängdes vägar p.g.a. att många långtradare
hade åkt av vägarna och fick vänta på bärgning.
Det senast är nu översvämningar och isvägar.
Hela scenariot har utspelat sig och
därför måste det förstås nu bli en "normal" vinter.
Eller hur?
What are your best seed catalogues for winter dreaming?
Underbart vackert foto.
SvaraRaderaVi fick en dag med regn och snö, men det frös snabbt på igen så vi har isvägar och isgator här också.
That's a stunning and very strong shot. So much beauty in the winter. I love seed catalogues but don't have a favorite since I don't order much any more. There are still a lot of places that send them to me because I used to order so much and even though I'm not buying, it's fun to look through them. I recently got one for kitchen gardens and habitat gardens which I enjoyed. I was pleased to see most of the recommended plants for butterflies and song birds were ones that are so established in my garden they come back every year from my letting them go to seed in the fall.
SvaraRaderaNydelig bilde. Naturkreftene er sterke og det er fascinerende å være vitner til dem.
SvaraRaderaBeautiful winter shot.
SvaraRaderaAnother stunning shot! Just amazing.
SvaraRaderaDramatic, awesome winter capture, Randi! Incredible light! I would definitely be doing what you are -- sitting in front of the fire, focusing on seed/flower catalogs and thinking about warm sun and lovely spring days!! Hope you have a great week! Stay WARM!!

Vilken dramatik du bjuder på ibland tappar jag nästan andan när jag tittar in här.

Dramatiskt! Fröer drömmer jag om mest gillar jag Runåbergs katalog den är så vacker. kram
SvaraRaderaNature does have its way in the end. You’ve found the perfect way to whether the cold by staying indoors and dreaming of a flowery future and the warmth of spring.
SvaraRaderaThat is a serious winter you have there. Gorgeous photo, however.
SvaraRaderaI haven't received any seed catalogues yet, although my friends in British Columbia have. Maybe I've been taken off the list because I only dream, never buy.
My favorite is a catalogue full of seeds for medicinal herbs. There are SO many herbs that are said to do wonderful things, so it's great for dreaming. It's a Canadian catalogue, from Richter's in Ontario.

SvaraRaderaI love the intensity of the waves splashing! Nice color contrast of your shot!
SvaraRaderaStunning photo, great beauty. Awesome winter capture of yours, to keep the great moments frozen in photos.
SvaraRaderaRandi, Your strength in seeing and capturing nature's beauty and creating something original and amazing from it is equal to the power of nature. Stunning and chilling photograph! Kram Carol
SvaraRaderastormigt värre. Vet inte om jag skulle gått ut. Det ser lite FÖR kallat och rått ut. Men vackert.
SvaraRaderaKan inte riktigt klura ut vad det är för rött som ligger där.
vilken härlig dramatisk bild! Kram
SvaraRaderaNature Footstep: Det röda i bilden är tången, som vågorna kastar upp.
SvaraRaderaFrozen nature, wonderful.

SvaraRaderathis scene is a bit scary. imagine being stranded in the cold, surging sea.
SvaraRaderaIt looks magical so pretty. Happy watery Wednesday...
SvaraRaderaSnyggt Randi. Mycket vackert...men snart tröttnar jag på vinterbilder :-) Jag vill ha vår!!!
SvaraRaderaHa det gott/ Tyra
Häftigt och vackert !
SvaraRaderaThat was magnificent... beautiful
SvaraRaderaHi Randi, you are so right saying, Mother nature is still very much in control, looking at the devastation of the flood in Queensland.
SvaraRaderaYour picture is very beautiful, I remember Lac Leman like this in 56/57, a long time ago when I was in Rolle learning French, La bise was terrible, so cold!
