just after full

the weather on the 8th did not allow for photos, this is the earliest I could get

winter's last flourish

According to the weather forecast, this appears to be the last flourish of a snowy winter.What a flourish! One of the heaviest snowfalls this winter started yesterday afternoon.

Moonlight shimmering across the frozen lake

Moonlight playing hide and seek amongst the minimal clouds and teasing with tinselled rays across the frozen Vestre Silen lake

so,so cute

You mean it's free?

Lunch break – for them and for me

The snow is fast disappearing, so now there's some lunch!

coffee art-0010

I was in Bengtsfors yesterday – new front shock absorbers on my fantastic 12 year old Mitsubishi Space Wagon,

collected wood panel my room renovation…and went for a 'coffee experience' to Camera IT

They have some really phenomenal special coffee that they get from Johan & Nystrom's coffee roastery

You could never believe coffee could be so exciting until you have been to Camera IT….really.

(I'm sitting writing this with a cup of freshly ground coffee called Pineapple Thief, truly a whole different

morning experience)

Veterinär

The Veterinar in Arjang is such a nice guy - and he was so amazingly compassionate and

helpful when my old cat (21.5 years old)  Mary Pickford died at midsummer, that I

wanted to find a way to say a meaningful Thank You to him. So I decided I could

make him a website - in memory of Mary Pickford
