The beauty of Swedish summer

More photos from my lovely Sweden here. You tend to forget how beautiful your own country is sometimes, especially when you travel  a lot. So here you are.

First some yellow fields just ouside my house.

Here we have some cherries in a tree, first time we had these many, did a nice jam.

Then this, with the city of Uppsala just 25 minutes away.

Just not the nature this time, but also two sweet horses.

Best burger in town :)

I love to make my own hamburgers here in Sweden, they are east to make and taste really good. Add you don't have to start the outside grill.

The patties are made of the best meat and just salt and pepper, here I serve it with a pesto-mayo and tomatoes plus some rocket. I just use my my grill pan on the stove. Work almost as well rainy days.

Have a happy summer!

Red house in the green

Just another photo from Sweden, during the summer of 2016. A red, old house in the green nature that surrounds it.

The house was my father and mothes old summerhouse when I was really small, we then called it Råttstugan, the rat house... Today it is under renovation, so no more rats here soon I hope.

And then some lovely flowers in my livingroom.

Love flowers of all kind

More summer pictures, here two more from my garden in Sweden. First from the wall of my house with a pink rose and some clematis.

Flowers slimbing upp the wall.

And then these white shrubs that gives me a lovey perfume every day.

They are called Philadelphus virginalis in English, Schersmin in Swedish.

A green summer

As you know by now, summer is my favorite season of the year. All is green and my world out here in the countryside of Sweden is so beautiful.

A really green walk here, like in a tunnel of trees.

And this is another photo from Sweden, a red villa and red roses, just outside Uppsala.

A red house witg a blue door, green grass and yellow flowers...

Pictures of summer

Here are some pictures from the summer of 2016. It is not over yet, so I will bring you more late on.

First is a pic of two very sweet horses, love them!

Here you have a pic of my roses outside my house here in Sweden.

...and some wild flowers.

Signs of spring and summer

Finally! Now the winter has really gone away - it is spring or maybe could I say summer! It is warm and sunny outside and all different signs of warmer days has shown.

Here you have some lilacs from my garden, so lovely and what a perfume!

This is my apple tree garden, all flowery and lovely.

And a pic showing a close up at one of all the apple trees we have here, love apple blossoms.

Hot in Turkey

It has been a year filled with a lot of travel for me. Just came back from Turkey, have been in Avsallar in Turkey, at Sunprime Numa Beach Hotel.

And it was really hot! About 38 degrees (C) or more every day, in the shadow.

The sea was lovely, the hotel had a small beach where you could stay.

The hotel also had a big pool and it was close to the sea.

I have had a long summer. Just spent a week in Turkey. Here a pic from inside the hotel.

I also had a nice buffet at breakfast every day, with fresh fruits like these.

And here you can se the chef that prepared the breakfast, eggs and omelettes and a lot of other good stuff.

Memories of this summer

Eating out and plants in the pots outside the door as a welcome home, it's summer for me.

Here is what you can find outside my door this year, in form of flowers in pots.

And eating outside in the evening is just wounderful!

Walking in the forrest is nice too, but I do not go too far in the woods, I do not want to get lost :)

Animals in the green

Sumer here in Sweden now. And this time I show you some lovely animals in the green, cats and horses.

First out is my cat Kisse walking with me a sunny summer day in the country.

Then we we have a pic of a black stray cat that also likes to come with me on my walks.

Here is a horse in the grass, not ours but here with us this summer.

But this sweet horse belongs to my brother. So happy to be out in the green grass...

Summer at last!!

Are on a short holiday now here in Sweden and I am happy even if it is not that warm and sunny every day.

One day it was like this, and I got out with my phone, a sunny summer road.

Last week it was Midsummer here in Sweden, a big holiday for us. Here a photo from the table inside, it was rainy and cold outside that day.

And just some flowers...

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!

Summer road

This is what I love, dringing home in the summer night, the photo here is taken just a few days ago.

All green and warm an sunny. Even if it's late in the summer evening, coming home after work.

And this is a reminder of how it looked just a few month ago, in winter, the same road, same time. But oh, what a difference!!

Colors of autumn

I really love summer, the sun, the warm weather and all the green grass, the flowers and so on. But I must say thay I am really fond of the autumn too.

Just look at these lovely Maple leafs close to my home here in Sweden in all the colors, red, orange and green.

Sculpture in the window

The sculpture you see here is of course made by my late mother Gunvor. Now it is watching out from the window - normally during summer it's moved outside. Love to have sculptures in my garden.

But this year it was so rainy and cold that se, the woman sculptured in ceramic, that she remained inside. Looking out to the garden. :)

Climbing up the wall

This is a beautiful blue clematis Climbing up the wall of my house. It has survived cold vinters and hard winds. And it's still standing.

The clematis is looking good this summer, as all the other summers before.

Lake view

This is summer at it's best, a lake view over a little lake just outside Stockholm. Beautiful and serene.

Was at a friend's place yesterday and had a lovely time - and got these views too - what more could you ask for?

Summer in the window

Just some greetings from me here in Sweden, summer in the window. Just some summer flowers in a window, flowers that I picked up outside in the wild.

And the wase is from my mother Gunvor, mad in ceramic, as usual. Just love to use it.

Horses on a field

Out here in the country we have a lot of horses around, my brother and his daughter just have one, but as horses should not be alone we have some more with him.

This is the three of them on a field close to my home one evening. So love summer!!

And here you have the leader of the pack, she is the oldest of them and white - and very nice. Not ours thu.

Different shades of green

Swedish summer is so great, even if it's not always sunny. We have all these different shades of green - everywhere you look.

This is my country in summer, one day in my garden. Look at all the different colors.
