Memories from the summer of 2015

Tomorrow is 1st of September and the summer is over. The small cabin in Svångemåla has been cleared of everything of value and the water pipes are empty. 

Here are some photos that I have not had time to put on the blog before, that will remind me and maybe you of the summer of 2015. It was unusually cold in the beginning but ended with some really warm and sunny weeks. All in all a good one!

As always, click on the picture to enlarge it!

Poplar admiral (Limenitis populi)

Drama ! After having watched each other for some time, they both left the scene unharmed.

 Foxglove, common foxglove, purple foxglove or lady's glove (Digitalis purpurea)

A rose of some sort. Not sure which one but they are common in Svångemåla.

Poor trees

Can trees feel pain?  I have read that they can but on what level or how, I am not sure. I still feel that the practice shown below is wrong. We get upset when we see how poachers in Africa use snares to catch wild animals. This can in no way be compared to what is done to the trees but I think we must protest when trees are being abused like this!
