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!

Bruno



Bruno, my resident rabbit, grow very fast and has now left my plot to look for a girl / boy friend. It was fun as long as he/she stayed and maybe he/she comes back one day but this might be the last picture I got of him/her.

Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos)



This kind of bird is very common in Svångemåla and is often the reason why I wake up far too early in the mornings. It sits high up in tree tops, both early mornings and late evenings and lets us all know that has a wonderful "voice".

New visitor!

It seems as if Fred the Fox has left Svångemåla and a new inhabitant has arrived, Robin the Rabbit! Welcome and please eat as much as you like of my lawn!

Butterfly



Not the most colourful or spectacular but I still think this is a wonderful little animal!

2011 is the Year of the Harebell !




There are always a lot of Harebells (Campanula rotundifolia) in Svångemåla but this year it is just amazing! Big ones, small ones and all sizes in between. The area that is supposed to be "the lawn" is now a sea of Harebells and who can move a lawn that looks like this? I cannot.
