Well, this was a surprise. We thought spring was here yesterday, and now! What!
With this fence I actually love the gate. Unusual and pretty. Inside the garden they ahve placed an old sofa. In springtime they plant flowers in it. Very beautiful.

Bridge with no snow

There are ice on the water but no snow on land. Checking the weather report it is strange. My area seem to be the only one with no snow. Around us there are. Some places a lot. I don´t want a lot, but no snow makes a grey and dull place.
The Mallards are all gathered by the bridge where it is open water.

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.
