Day 121 - May 1st - Great start of the month, sunshine and red berries

Finally the month of May is here. We can never be sure, but most often May offers lovely weather and plenty of flowers. Started out good at least. Just the two of us this weekend. Very calm and silent. A bit unsusual for us. Not even the Noisy Neighbours have been very disturbing today. They had quite a party last night

Does Rött mean red? Just guessing and too lazy to look it up

Yep - correct guess. The ”basic form” is ”röd” but the adjective changes depending on the noun it hangs with

And talking of retouch. Is that what your DH is doing? Does he have new glasses?

You are absolutely the winner of the contest: spot the difference or something. Yes, the handy man indeed has new glasses

Day 132 - May 12th - Resurrection

When we moved out here 33 (!) years ago one of the first things we planted was a few bulbs of the province flower of our part of Sweden, the Snake’s head / Kungsängslilja / Fritillaria meleagris. It made us happy for many years with its’ white and purple flowers but some years ago it stopped coming back. So I got very happy today to find a single flower. Just one, but still…. Perhaps we should buy some bulbs and hope for more flowers the years to come.

What’s he painting now?

 

[ubbyisis]

What’s he painting now?

It’s the railing around the porch. (Perhaps ”railing” is not the correct word )

 

[juryjone]

It’s the railing around the porch. (Perhaps ”railing” is not the correct word )

It’s the correct word. If he was angrily shouting at the same time, he would be railing at the railing!

Day 134 - May 14th - Perfect timing

After having studied the sky IRL and the weather apps I figured out that a 4km walk should be just perfect. It was a great plan. I came home about 15 minutes before the showers started. We really need rain, so I hope it will continue until it’s time for my Sunday walk

So much depth to both skies. Fab.

Makes you feel like a tiny ant or something standing under such skies. We got some rain, but now it’s almost clear. We hope for more rain the coming days. By the way I just took a photo of the first snail I’ve seen this year

Big thanks Juliana I did another edit of the same photo when I was in bad mood and needed a dose of sparkling colours. In my old life I guess I would have opened a bottle of red I did a super vivid pic in the Ukrainan app Luminar Neo. Can’t show it here as it’s a MacOS app Great app by the way

Day 135 - May 15th - Early Sunday walk

Birch trees

Finally released - later than normally

Day 136 - May 16th - Important espresso and raspberry meeting

Very cold and windy today so it was perfect that we’d already decided to drive over to Linus. We arrived just before him so I got a shot when he was still in the taxi.

Bad photo but I like his facial expression. He looks almost sad and lonely. I’ve run the photo through several apps, but I still haven’t found what I’m looking for (do you remenber that song )

No edit

Linus wanted this pic - edited with Picsart on my iPhone at Linus place

The Taxi photo is very poignant.

The Taxi photo is very poignant.

I know, in fact it makes me quite sad looking at it. It illustrates how much these persons are excluded from many things in life that we so called “normal people” take for granted

Day 137 - May 17th - Happy surprise on an otherwise lousy day

Without any apparent reason I’ve been in bad mood since I got up this morning. Lack of energy and a great deal of pessimism and negative thinking. I guess we all have such days so I just wait until it passes away. Got some help with that an hour ago when I suddenly heard a new sound in the garden. Starling chicks shouting for food. Must have hatched today

I didn’t want to go close and disturb them so I just took a zoom shot through the plum tree. The house isn’t very visible, but fact is the Mum’s tail feather is sticking out - she was just entering

Edited in PTG.
I also have a version with sound on my Instagram account ubbyliv. I captured a video with 5 sec of sound and extracted the sound to the still

today’s selfie shot with automatc macro and edited with PTG

Day 138 - May 18th - Just some ordinary flowers from our garden

Today we’ve had real summer. I have had my devices in Do-not-disturb-mode and we have just been enjoying the sun and the warmth. And our garden. Tomorrow summer will be over for this time. Perhaps we should see today as an appetizer
