Today I am thinking that when celebrating our national day tomorrow it is important to reflect on how fortunate we are, but also how fragile our and anyone's freedom and democracy is.

With what is going on in the world today, from the war in Ukraine to the polarisation in the US, and everything in between, it is so important not to loose faith in humanity.

Our king made a speech a few years back that is worth repeating, maybe even a necessity to repeat. Listen carefully, these words matter, today maybe even more than ever:

Obscured spring

I an lucky enough to have a "private chauffeur" (read: husband) that makes it possible for me to play around with my camera on road trips. Taken at high speed along the roads of south England. Glimpsing landscape through thick foilage along the route.

Winter frost and fog

This picture is taken at speed in a car just throwing the camera up to catch the moment. Hence the slight blur, but somehow I think it suits the scene.
Goes to prove though; your next picture might be just around the corner!

Winter Pastels at Lake Windermere

If you look closely, maybe you see the toad? Or Jemima? Or the whole rabbit family? :D

Kvitlyng (bog-rosemary)

One of the tiniest but most beautiful flowers to be found in the Norwegian mountains. So delicate.
