Some green ruins in Sweden

Finally my Sweden ha become green! What a loverly feeling with green grass again, it is sprin och soon we have summer.

Here you have a photo of some ruins, an old barn, and the green outside.

Just some colors of the nature in the ruins. it is just so beautiful.

One more pic of the ruins in red, in the green.

And here is the last one. Once a building.

Swedish summer

Just some photos from this summer here in Sweden, from my walks in the sun.

First two pictures is from an old barn, that now is in ruins.

Two barns that does not "work" no moore. But beautiful anyhow.

Then we have a field of cereal, to become grain later on, not ready to be harvested yet. But soon.

An to finish off, a bot in concrete with floers. Lovely!

Art in the window

My mother Gunvor's art is really everywhere, here one piece of her ceramic work is in this window.

It is another one that is made of her inspiration from Mother Earth. It is a really big seedpod.
Made a page on Facebook with my mothers things:

House in the snow

Looks like a Happy Christmas postcard - but the little red house is here a yellow one.

The photos was taken a really cold day with the blue sky and all, and a lot of snow.

And here we have a photo of my garden - or rather- some trees in snow, cold but really beautiful.

More winter

And here is two more photos of this long, cold and snowy Swedish winter. Cold it is, at this photo it was 10 degrees below zero.

But I must say, it is rather beautiful too. In it's own vierd way. I do not like winters, but I can appriciate an amazing landscape.

And here is another photo of a Swedish winter of my garden, before we got a really lot of snow.

And it's really cold

This morning when I woke up it was almost minus 10 degrees Celsius. Absolutely too cold and freezing for me to want to go outside.

But it is rather beautiful, like the photo here. Snow and a piece of winter sun.

And here is another photo just two weeks ago, a small pond with then still open water. Beautiful.

Autumn colors

And so another photo of my forest, a piece of autumn colors. So pretty!

Nature can really be lika a painting in autumn, love it! The colors are amazing and the nature is inspiring. And Love Sweden too!

What I found in the grass...

Here is what I found in on a walk last week, an old wheelbarrow hidden in the grass.

And here is a rusty old milk can, just close to the wheelbarrow. I still remember them in use, when I was a kid here in the country.

Nice old things, and soon the nature has taken them all over.  Next year they probably will be completely hidden by grass.

Sheep with lambs

Look here what I found yesterday, som sheep with lambs in the green. That is really summer for me, and so sweet to look at.

And here is one more photo of these sweet little woolly animals, in the middle of the "wild"- or should I say in a small park.

Wild raspberries

I just love the taste of freshley picked raspberries, these one's are wild and so incredebly tasty and sweet.

Just came back from an hour in the bushes, got some but most landed in my mouth.

My favorite of sculptures

This is my absolute favorite of sculptures that my mother Gunvor made thru the years. It is a torso that looks like a piece of wood with its bark, with all its worm traces and all.

One of the pics it's from the front the other one is from the back of the female torso med in ceramic. If you have read this blog before you may have come across the torso before. But I love it soooo much!

My mother was very inspired from all the things around us, especially from the nature.

A not so dead tree

This Maple tree had to be cut of since the branches where so rotten they easily could have fallen off and cause some harm, one branch already falled off during a storm, thank God no one got hurt then.

But the tree did not want to die, as you can see som new, very small branches it growing. It give me hope just to look at it!

A bowl of leaves

This is really one of my favorites of my mother Gunvor's artpieces, a bowl of leaves, made of ceramic as usual.

The ceramic glaze is made from real leaves that where burnt in the ceramic kiln.

Here is another photo from the inside of the bowl, inspired as usual by nature.
