Kvismaren and Hammars Säteri

  click image to enlarge

Entrece to Hammars Säteri
Beautiful setting with the row of yellow flowers in the lawn behind the fence.

The cattle let out for the season in front of the Hammars Säteri

This one looks unusually fat to be a cow.

Close to the farm they have the NatureReserve Kvismaren. Probably on the farms land.
This is an overview of one part of the reserve. Not many birds on the water but it should have been a lot. :(

 Öby Kulle, at Kvismaren, below the viewpoint above are famous for it´s snakes. We have three kinds of them. Lots of people comes here with the children too in order to see the snakes that is warming up in the sun. This one is a viper, we call it Huggorm and it has poison. Not deadly for a human unless you are allergic. The eyes on this one is blue for the moment.  The color changes when the snake are about to slough and the skin has loosened.

As I said above, not many birds but I did see these Greenfinches at the feeder beside the parkinglot.

The Fieldfare is the only bird that I can say we have a lot of where I live. Still they are hard to get close to. The Loon on the other hand is rarely seen. It is only passing through on it´s way up north. And this was the first time in several years I saw them.

NF Trees n Bushes 55 In the energy forest

NF Trees n Bushes 55

Welcome to 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.

A moose cow and last years calf a grey day.

This is probably the same pair as above, but another day. When sun shines and the green started to show I met them in one of the rows. I think the last one is the calf. It was standing still for a long time watching me.

The Oak in one corner of the forest has no leaves yet. It will still take a while.

Charcoal kiln at Magnetehultån

It is really a charcoal kiln in progress. They are building it for a the memories and celebration of the old days workers. They will fire it up in the end of May.

There is trees all around and the kiln is also created from wood. And, there is a little fir growing at the end of the fence. My guess is that, if they allow it to grow, it will one day turn the fence over.

Kagoshima, Kyushu, Japan

© NF Photo 160125 o 26

From my trip to Japan 2 months ago.

These images was taken through the window of the bus while going from breakfast to the Arasaki Crane Center. This should have been a tropical view in the south part of Japan, but we ended up in a snowstorm.
They did not have any snow for more then a 100 years so it was chaos in the area. But Sweds are used to it.

I should not really give you the name of this sculpture. Lately there have been a lot of incidents where sites are charged for sharing artwork without paying royalty. Soon it will be impossible to share images of public art as the artist demands royalty for them.

Well there are some reflections in the metal work. Hope you like it.

This is a tree standing in the town square. It seems like somebody wanted the tree to get leaves soon.
They added some to the tree.
That was my tree for the week, let me see what you have.
