Super edit on this one Eva.
Nice edit!
It looks like it is actually part of the tree and has grown there. Lovely.Day 17 - January 17th - Alien birch tree
I might have posted this tree in one of my earlier 365:s. But it’s so cool so here I go again. The tree once had two eyes, a nose and a mouth, but the objects have disappeared with time. It was a gift from friends.

I know, I had actually forgotten that it was still there. I was sitting in my smoking chair outside our house desperately trying to figure out what I could use for today’s posting. The tree is a few meters from where I sat and by pure luck my brain registered the eye on the birch. The things you see everyday are often the things you don’t see - if you know what I mean
I DO know what you mean. We have an expression “familiarity breeds contempt” meaning just what you said.I know, I had actually forgotten that it was still there.

Must add that expression to the English part of my brain! In a way it is another way of saying “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” - “gräset är alltid grönare på andra sidan om staketet”
The we have the expression “hemmablind” which literally means “home blind” i.e. you are blind to the things that surround you every day.
Yes, you use one word - hemmablind - when we use three.Must add that expression to the English part of my brain! In a way it is another way of saying “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” - “gräset är alltid grönare på andra sidan om staketet”
Lovely

that is so cool!
Thanks Patricia
Lilac buds - how marvellous. The magnolia in our garden has buds on it. I’m going to try and photograph some, inspired by you.
Sunshine today so it was a perfect day for taking a short trip. The place is called Ulva kvarn. A long time ago, before the kvarn/mill was built it was called Vargvadet/Wolves’ ford as the wolves used to pass the river there. Ulv and Varg both means Wolf by the way. Today we wanted to see if we could spot the white-throated dipper we saw there on our last visit. And we were lucky Unfortunately you are not allowed to see him as I captured him with my Panasonic Lumix that has a great zoom. I will post him on my Insta later.
What a beautiful day/place. I love the long exposure image...just lovely.Day 22 - January 22nd - Another visit to the Wolves’ Ford
I recently posted a pic from this place, but it’s so beautiful there so I repeat myself
I played with long exposure today. Tested the slow shutter feature of Moment app, but I didn’t succeed to get anything worth posting. Instead I shot a Live photo with the native cam. Made two duplicates within the Camera roll: one long exposure and one still. Then I used iColorama and blended the two photos. No other edits. The bright colours are “originals”

I love them both. The slow shutter one makes the water look like dry ice (you know, that stuff that sort of smokes without fire).Day 22 - January 22nd - Another visit to the Wolves’ Ford

Yes I know what you mean. Slow shutters in a way are very surreal, but beautiful. The still is more like I saw it. Or rather the live photo I used for the still is what I really saw.
Gorgeous edit.
