The Lyckeby River here in Sweden was absolutely stunning this morning. It looked like a giant, oblong mirror filled with reflections of its neighbors. An irresistible photo opportunity in other words! So below are some photos of how Lyckeby River played with the sunshine earlier today.
I have gathered some photos of stunning sunsets and skies I have been fortunate to see here in Lyckeby in Sweden. Actually three of these photos are taken from my balcony. The fourth one is taken when I was on a walk with my lovely dog Lisen here in Lyckeby. So here they are - My Burning Skies. :-)
A few days ago I took a closer look with my Canon EOS 450D at some wet grass in Rödeby forest here in Sweden. And below is some of what I saw there.

I am always amazed at what I find when I take a closer look at my surroundings. Because beauty truly exist everywhere and all the time. Even in some simple wet grass. So Thank You Mother Nature for this wonderful photo op! Much appreciated. :p
These photos represent why I LOVE fall! Now I pass these trees several times every day here in Lyckeby in Sweden. But today it struck me that they all look like they have been infected by a serious dose of sunshine. So beautiful!!! :-)
And even though we turn back the clock one hour this Sunday in Sweden so we can maximize our use of daylight during this time of the year. These types of radiating natural resources definitely also help to brighten up these darker days. Lovely, lovely! :-)
It is definitely fall here in Sweden right now. Which means magnificent colors, wind, rain and the occasional sunshine. Something my dog Lisen and I got a stunning glimpse and experience of a few days ago on our walk here in Lyckeby.
When it was a windy day with worried skies outside.
But also a beautiful day with a touch of sunshine.
And because we did manage to avoid the rain, the walk we had was indeed very nice. :-)
Yesterday I went on an afternoon excursion to beautiful Kolboda Camping next to Kalmar strait here in Sweden. This lovely little picturesque place is located about 70 kilometers from Karlskrona and 25 kilometers south of Kalmar. And, although a bit confused with rain clouds in the skies, the weather was absolutely stunning there. Also a lot of birds had gathered to make their way to warmer destinations. At least that is where I think they were headed? So all that activity above sure made for a magnificent show among the clouds! In other words a perfect photo opportunity indeed. :p
Actually one of the largest harbor seal colonies in the Baltic Sea live near Kolboda. So in high season the owners of this boat arrange Seal safaris from Kolboda. Although I am not sure when high season is...
A cute little cottage on its very own little island opposite Kolboda camping.
No sun in sight today here in Karlskrona in Sweden. In fact, it has been hard to see anything outside on this foggy Sunday. But I like foggy days like these. Everything seems so mysterious and spooky to me. And what better way to turn up the spook factor than to head on into the forest!? Which Lisen and I of course did. But not only did we have to struggle to see in the forest today, we also had to watch out for thousands of wet spider webs! Yikes!
Foggy fog on the road to Rödeby forest.
And for some reason the forest was filled with spider webs today!
They were EVERYWHERE! (The white dots on the grass are spider webs.)
Even all over the trees.
Although all that most spider webs seemed to have caught were raindrops...
More wet spider webs.
And Lisen waiting patiently while I am photographing all these wet spider webs.
Now fortunately for me I do not have any spider phobias. Because I walked into many, many spider webs on this forest walk. Sticky indeed! But I survived, both the fog and wet spider webs. As did Lisen. :-)
Lisen and I visited my sister yesterday. And while I was there I just happened to see this cute bird couple sitting up on a tree top. They looked so cosy and lovely up there! Like they were having the best time ever. I also really noticed how fall, with its gorgeous colors, has sneaked up on us here in Sweden.
And just like that, the moment became filled with such peace and beauty. A true moment of fall in love.
So cute.
And I wonder what they were talking about up there?
What a lovely experience I had earlier today when Lisen and I passed these eating horses on our walk here in Lyckeby in Sweden. The horses looked so beautiful in the sunshine, but what really struck me was that they all actually ate at the same time. I had never noticed that before, ever. I mean, it is one thing if they had all get fed at the same time. But here they were outside and able to eat whenever they wanted to. Which is why I thought it was pretty cool that they all decided to do that at the same time. :-)
Earlier today I grabbed my doggy, camera and off to Rödeby forest in Sweden we went. It was a while since Lisen and I walked this particular walk we did today. Therefore I was quite surprised when I saw all the mushrooms that had now appeared. And there were a lot of mushrooms, funky mushrooms! Lol!
Now I do not know anything about mushrooms, which ones you can eat and so on. Which is why I dared not to pick any of them. But they sure made for great photo ops! So below are photos of some of those funky mushrooms Lisen and I encountered in the Swedish Rödeby forest earlier today.
