Three different kinds of horses walking together in a pasture. And seem to like it. And they were super wised by a Jackdaw.

This kind of passageways in the fences is built to allow people to pass but not animals. But for people with loads to carry it is quite tricky. It is a V-shape on the passage. And you don´t want to unpack when it is soo wet on the ground. I am short so I have to go on my toes and lift the backpack in order to be able to turn inside the narrow V.

The sign says: Fishing forbidden!

Some reflections of grass and sky in the wet area.

NF Trees n Bushes 18 Energy crop

NF Trees n Bushes 18

Welcome to the first edition of the NF Tree n Bushes meme.

I have always liked trees and have lots of them in my files that I never got around to post. I assume that many of you have it too. So, for this meme is not about running around taking shots today. You can as well dig in your files for those gems never posted. Trees and bushes comes in many shapes and forms and they look different as the year go by. Many of them has flowers and are showing autumn colors. They change always.

This is an image of the energy crop where I sometimes see some deer or wild boar. This place is used as a passageway between two rows of crop. You can see that as there are no vegetation on the ground at this place the animals are using. Looks quite cool. This day there were no animals at all in the crop that I could see.

Help me chose if you have not already done so!

In my town they will have an December Exhibition for regional art and artists. I´m about to enter the exhibit with 5 pieces. After deadline they will decide which artists will be represented in the Exhibition. Last year 1 out of 3 artists was represented.

This is an old Pizzeria that I am passing by every time I go to town. This summer they spend to upgrade it. Seem to be very nice. But so far the work is not finished.

Welcome to the first edition of the NF Tree n Bushes meme.

chanterelle - kantarell

This is my favorite mushroom and now the season for them has started. I will be in the forest a lot the coming months. If the weather keeps them growing. It has to be wet for them to grow large and tasty. Not too wet of course. I found almost 2 litres yesterday and had to clean them. That´s is enough for three dinners for me. Cooked in different ways

Now it is your turn to show me your Trees n Bushes.

Shadow of hair

Sometimes it is funny with images. When I should post this one I, by instincts, lifted my hand to wipe away some of the dust. :) Normally you don´t see the hair scattered around the apartment. But this time the sun lit them up and created tiny shadows. I took a shot and then passed them along to the bin.

NF Trees n Bushes 16 Gathering

NF Trees n Bushes 16

Welcome to the first edition of the NF Tree n Bushes meme.

Gathering at a tree

This sight is still rather common in Sweden. But becomes less frequent year by year. This is not milking cows as the calf´s are with them. But it is so nice to see the natural behavior of the cattle. Not the "factory" treatment so many have nowadays. When calf´s are taken from the cow at birth.

Time for you to ad your trees and bushes. With or without cows :)

I wonder if these critters know what stress is? Maybe we should take a gene or two from them.

A rainy day swifts and ducks

Click to enlarge

The old birding tower at lake Näsnaren outside Katrineholm

View to the left

View in front of the tower

View to the right where it opens to the lake. The dots on the water is mostly ducks.

Some ducks on the water and lots of swifts above them.

Common Swifts

Leaving the tower I have to pass this short boardwalk

To get to the car I have to pass this gate and walk for about 5 min through the forest to the parking.

© NF Photo 150709 Gamla tornet

As you can see from the images the rain varied a lot but never stopped. I was surprised to see all ducks already going south. And the swifts so low due to the rain and they too early to gather like this.
It was too dark to get good shots so I leave it for now.

Trees n Bushes 15 Graveyard birches

NF Trees n Bushes 15

Welcome to the first edition of the NF Tree n Bushes meme.

Click to enlarge and see with lightbox

Every time I take a walk down town I am passing this graveyard. It is quite beautiful and I love the trees. I think this is some kind of birch. The gardeners usually keep them all flat at the same level so people don´t have to bend below them. But this summer.... maybe the budget was cut short. The trees in the last image don´t seem to be trimmed like the first cone chaped young tree. . :(

This is a place outside my town where there are some remains of an old mill. The word "kvarn" means mill. The last one was not powered by the water but by an engine that is still here. This is a watersysten that goes half of Sweden. There is lakes,and streams all the way down to the coast of the Baltic sea. And this place is about 80 km from the coast. The water level difference on both sides of this bridge is about 2m
