This little Blackbird girl was not feeling well and could hardly move when I spotted her in the high grass. She limped around and I wonder what happened to her when I left her?

Bruno...again
Yes, I know that I have already showed you pictures of Bruno. Several times even but I just cannot refrain from showing you one more. What a cute little creature it is!

Mushrooms
There are plenty of mushrooms in Svångemåla this year thanks to the rains we have received. Some look like cottages in fairytales while some are very cute.

Stonewall
This stonewall is not in Svångemåla but our plot of land is also walled in by a small wall of stones and they are very typical for this part of Sweden, Småland. Many men died and many backs have been broken clearing the land from stones and it is no wonder more than a quarter of the population left for the promised land in the west where hardly a stone had to be removed.
Happy!
I am happy to tell you that Bruno is still enjoying the green grass in Svångemåla! S-/he was away for some days but came back and is looking strong and happy even when the food is a bit wet in the morning. Click on the picture to see how wet it is!
Parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera)
I must admit that I do not know much about mushrooms and I am therefore very careful before I prepare and put them on my plate but this is one that I really like, both the taste of it and it's shape and form. It has, in Swedish, the word "proud" in it's name (Stolt Fjällskivling) and just looking at it,one can understand why!
