The Soapstone Inuits are on the mantlepiece of my brother- and sister-in-law, who have [...] Continue reading More Summer Photos Swedish Midsummer on the west coast Looking out to sea to the north west.

Apologies for the quality of the 2 a.m. photo – I blame the light [...] Continue reading Picture(s) of the weekend Gallery of photographs of flowers (lilacs), flowering trees (chestnuts) and the area of Färjenäs Göteborg [...] Continue reading Lilac time at Färjenäs Sunday 23rd May a period of warm weather had hurried the Spring along.

In between keeping up with the British elections and Artwiculate, I’ve also been working on this site. I’ve posted enough content, old and new, that I thought it worthwhile to install YARPP (Yet Another Related Posts Plugin). This little widget means you’ll now see (I hope) a few “suggestions for further reading” at the [...] Continue reading Developments aboard A gallery of early spring photographs taken in and around my home in Gothenburg. #gallery-7 { margin: auto; } #gallery-7 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-7 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-7 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } Sun through new beech leaves Rowan leaves opening (their backs) Rowan leaves opening Beech leaves opening closer Bedraggled magpie Wood anemonies Beech leaves opening Beech leaf shadows Wood anemonies in leaf litter Walking through the beeches For slightly larger versions of these pics – and more – see my Spring 2010 album here: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/16669/album/187075 Yesterday was a day of high winds. It was also the day the committee of our housing co-op (condominium) had designated as a day for Spring Cleaning.
