We have had quite a few storms recently here in Karlskrona in Sweden, hence a lot of wind and rain. No snow though... Last year we had a ton of snow by now. But actually it really does not feel like we will have a snowy winter at all this season. Either way it sure was nice to be able to take a nice walk with my dog Lisen without having to worry about becoming wet or blowing away yesterday morning. Because my dog Lisen did have to struggle bit to remain on the ground a few evenings ago. Hehe.
Anyway, we had very nice weather conditions yesterday morning here in Lyckeby. And below are some shots from our walk in odd sunshine.
This lovely tiger photo was taken at one of the zoos I visited in Australia in 2007.
And close encounter indeed, because the only thing that kept this tiger and boy apart was a few centimeters of glass. It also seemed to me like this tiger was more intrigued by the boy than the other way around. Which in turn now makes me wonder; what was on your mind Mr. Tiger? Hm..?
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. :-)
It can be a bit tricky to wipe floors with a dog in the house. And by house I mean my apartment. So there is not a whole lot of places I can tell my dog Lisen to move to when I clean it. Which is also why I seldom get to enjoy my newly wiped floors for very long. But it is all good! Because Lisen always look so non understanding when she lies there in the middle of the wet floors. Like she is thinking:
While I was photographing at Kolboda camping in Kalmar the other day. All of a sudden I was very confidently approached by a swaggering cat. He/she wanted to be cuddled, and photographed too. I swear! And how on earth could I not take any photos of this cutie!!! So here they are, a few photos of the swaggering cat at Kolboda camping in Sweden.
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.
