Sunrays for Claude

Listen to little birdie's station

In my Stockholm blog Claude asked for some sunrays, so I found a bunch for her :-)
A Stockholm blogomban Clade kért egy kis napsugarat, úgyhogy kerestem neki egy csokornyit :-)

It was not very easy, because here we had ugly grey sky for about a week now, in the middle of the summer...
Nem volt túl könnyű, mert az utóbbi kb. egy hétben ronda szürke volt az ég...

Lupins and other wild flowers

Or often called Lupines (Latin: Lupinus perennis, Hungarian: csillagfürt, which means "star tress")

Lupin field in Stockholm, by the highway. I know, these flowers aare very common in certain places, like here in Sweden, but in my country Hungary, I have only seen them in gardens, so now I got excited about it...





So I picked one for myself:



...and put them in my window, along with some other wild flowers:

Summer impressions

It's been a long weekend and I am very tired, so this is just a little appetizer of the places I saw these days. And in the next posts I will tell a bit more about it.

Nighty night people, sweet dreams!

Lilac

Listen to little birdie's station

This time of the year (in Southern parts of Sweden it's end of May, beginning of June) is Lilac time (Latin: syringa, Hungarian: orgona, Swedish: syren)

In the past weeks, many places of Stockholm were smelling from it's sweet odor. Imagine you are driving in a city and for one or two kilometers, ou see a line of these lilac bushes, on both sides of the road...

These ones I photographed in the middle of the city, amongst big houses.

Early morning in Sweden

On our trip to Northern Sweden, here we had a quick breakfast.

It was about 2-2.5 hours drive from Stockholm, but I didn't follow the map and now I can't even find this place on the net...

Flowers of a bush

Listen to little birdie's station

The nature is booming and blooming here in Sweden so much that I can hardly keep up with all the wonderful flowers and plants.

Here is a bush with white, sweet smelling flowers - but I don't know its name...

It's about one week difference between the first and the last picture.
