I just want to show a few pics of Stella on her 7th birthday as she plays with her new game, which wasn’t to solve. I think she was a bit annoyed with when I was loading it with roast biff and not just giving her the meat.

whoppii

A few years back I started to collect the Disney Classics that I had loved as a child and the ones I saw now. Last year I decided to get them all and today nr 25 and 26 came making my collection complete as far as it can. Nr 50 Tangle has yet to be released in Sweden. Two I have as VHS and these shall be replaced when they came out on a DVD. Any way I'm now the proud owner of the 49 Disney classiscs starting with Snow White.

Time for month nr 3

Another month has passed and it’s time for new photos from Stella’s and my walk Sunday morning walk. We started about the usual time, that is just before 8 am. I have added a few sceneries that I haven’t shown before just to show you all just a little bit more.



Premiär – “The First Time” this is one of my favourite statues in Gävle. It’s right in the beginning of the City Garden.

The next two photos are from last Saturday as I wanted to show you how the bridge looks like, not just the view from it.

This sign tells us that the two boroughs of Valbo and Gävle together built the bridge back in the late 1700

"Our” beaver still is active and no, I still haven’t found where building site. My guess is that it is right under the bridge, which I just have walked over. (it’s not the same as Gustafs bro)

Seeing this makes me wonder if it is the squirrel that is so active o it is something else that is happening. It looks like this around several trees.

A view towards the summer café in the park.

From the dam, down the river

Stella could hear the minks but neither of us could see them. I had a hard time getting her to leave the place.

Not much left of the ice from last week. We went from -22C on one Thursday to +6C the next.

The Force of Mother Nature

Last Thursday we woke up to -22C. That’s cold, very cold. Even Stella thought that and shortened our morning walk. After supper we went for our evening walk, very well dressed. As usually we went in Boulongen and along the river and got treated to Mother Nature showing the force she can have. In the river in high speed ice-floe passed us and the water level was high. When we got to the dam one of the larger gates had been opened. I guess because of the cold weather they opened it so that it wouldn’t get stuck. Any way Stella and I stood watching the scenery for a while before continuing in the cold. It was drama at its best. The scenery only lit up by the lamps along the path. The sound of the river speeding by us in full force. Ice cracking in places where it was still in one piece. The scraping sound when the ice crushes into each other.

When we passed the same places Friday I realised that I needed to bring the camera and show you all how it looks today. Water was up to the snow edges on the island and left ice-floes on land when it went down to “normal winter” level, there is space under the ice-floes and so on…

And the last photo is of Stella’s special friend: The dipper. I guess it’s getting used to being barked at every time we go by.

it's small but there - my camera can't zoom in closer and the bird didn't want to pose when I stept closer.

My Shower room

I just have to show you have it looks now that it is done.

5 th of February

A month has past since I posted Stella’s and my walk in January. Had these been taken just a few days earlier there would have been less snow in them. We have had degrees over and under 0 C over the past few weeks. This last week we even had rain before it went cold and icy and new snow fell.

I'm not sure you can see the mist coming up from river.

I didn’t know that our river contained a beaver but here is the evidence that there is.

got my keys back

He wasn't too happy with my but I got it my way and I think it looks so much better.
