Summer in Sweden

2004

Tillbaka till Personligt

Not surprising, most of the pictures are from around our holiday house at Österlid, just at the border between Västergötland and Småland two provinces in southern Sweden.

Linnea - Linnaea borealis
The floral emblem of Småland,
named after Carl von Linné

Purple haze - lilacs and lupins

Native orchids

Fläckigt nyckelblomster - "spotted key flower" (Dactylorhiza maculata) and nattviol - "night violet" (Platanthera bifolia)

Midsummer - a rainy story

Literally strawberries

Wild strawberries on straw

Lunch in the rain

Of course it was sill and nubbe - herring and snaps

BBQ in the rain

Me serving as 1st fire-watcher

This shot is actually from Denmark.
But kaprifol - honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum) also happens to be the floral emblem of Bohuslän, the province just north of Gothenburg. A common sight among the cliffs along the coastline.

Lizard

Close-up of Akleja - Aquilegia vulgaris.
Columbine in English?

The clouds are gathering.

View from the house, across Lake Vättern

The fruits of the spring's blossom

Butterflies on flowers
