Stellas new friend

Stella has made a new friend. Just seconds after I took the photo of her and the cow their noses met. If I just waited a second or so. I was a bit scared I have to admit since she put her head under the barbwire. These cows are where there used to be horses. Photos are taken with my mobil as I didn't have my kamera with me.

 

The bull is huge!

JULY

July – Summer at its peek. This year it’s also when I’m having my summerholiday. During the first week Stella and I have had a wonderful afternoon in the park. Stella decided that she were too tired to stand up and eat and stayed lying on the ground, just like Julius Ceasar.

A “friend” of Stella’s.

                                    

I love the way you can see the bridge reflecting in the water.

Look what they are doing to our forest!

This do not belong here.

These are busy and I don’t mind them. However the two snakes I have seen this week I do mind. Stella almost jumped on one to catch it, just the warning sound from the snake saved her. Today she rushed towards one but as I was keeping her on a short lease she didn’t get far.

Some more of Stella's friends.

Reflections in the water

I put my hand on the leaf so that you can see how big it is.

It's up on the wall

Some time ago I told you that Tom had sent me the picture I had done of Nick Barkley (Peter Breck). Well, I have had it framed professionally and picked it up Friday. Today I hang it with my Nick Barkley autographed photos. I figured that that is where it belongs. A reminder of Linda and the character that once brought us together.

Carema has got its own goat!

Every summer the city place out goats as decoration around the town centre. These goats are donated by different companies. This year Carema has donated one. It is going to be placed nearly on the same place as the strawgoat. I just hope it will stay on land. Last year the poor goat that was placed at the church spent more time in the river than on land.

Some of the others are these

June 4th

A beautiful morning. A true Summer morning! When we got up it was already 19C outside so breakfast went quick so we would make morning walk in the forest before it got too warm.

Just opposite of the benches you see there soon will be more flowers. It’s just that those aren’t
planted until after schools have ended for the year. Wonder why – huh?

One could think she is smelling the flowers but she is picking out which leave to eat.

They have started to replace the trees that were cut down during the winter.

Stella's watering hole

I desided that I today would share some of the statues with you that are in the parks beside “The Premier” and Carl Milles angels.

At the start stand King Gustav Vasa, the Swedish liberator. One can wonder how the Danish feel about those words. Gustav Vasa was a king between 6 June 1523 – 29 Septemer 1560 and it’s in his “footsteps” a bunch of people ski between Orsa and Mora a week in February. Nuts!!

Not far from Gustav Vasa you can find “The longing for spring” (my translation/Vårlängtan)

Opposite it on an island you can find this one who I don’t know the namn of because I have never been out there.

In Stadsparken just a few steps from the Angels you can find the Klumpen

The woman has really got one of the worst places even if it this looks better. Before you couldn’t see her because of the trees. Hum, the spots are made by the sunlight shining though the leaves. She is called Summer.

In the large open space where nearly all the playground facilities are this thing can be found. Haven’t got a name for it. And to honest I don’t know what to think of it either.

Near the entrance to Boulonge skogen this golden couple is standing.

In the part called Regementsparken (The park of regiment) these mushrooms can be found. I find it clever to make a sculpture of the trees that is being cut down.

One of natures own.

Another tree that has become something else. Here it is Näcken.
