June and July, hot and dry....

 We are now approaching August, and soon the autumn season will start. So far the summer has been sunny and dry here in southern Norway, except the western part along the coast. Central and northern Norway however, have unfortunately not been blessed with a sunny summer. 

I have started to grow my own vegetables in my garden, and a new greenhouse. Cucumber, bell pepper and tomatoes in the greenhouse, and potatoes, beetroot and peas outside. It's a very funny hobby but I feel tied down with tending and watering...  😛😛 No priority on photo safaries, only close to home surroundings, butterflies, local birdlife and sunsets...

The darling buds of May...

May, the month of so many events! After frost and snow, the nature's awakening her in Norway, and birds and animals are raising their offspring. Farmers work on their fields, to grow vegetables and grains. The air is filled with the sweetest perfume from flowers and green plants! So lovely! The sun is hot and people are outside working in their gardens again, preparing for summer's flora.

Longing for springtime...

 I must admit, that winter no longer is a favorite time of the year of mine. When I was younger I loved skiing, something I haven't done for years. The older I get, the less I like the season of darkness and cold days. But some days are bright and sunny, and then I might use my camera for a while. I feed birds and some roedeer in my garden, that make time flies. I can sit down and watch them for hours.  :-) 

Since we have a few sparrow hawks around us, I might have a chance to shoot one with a catch! That happened 16th of february, when a male sparrow hawk catched a black bird and landed just in front of me!
