The light, the light!

It's really nice now in the evenings, bright and sunny. Lots of birds chirping into the night and not giving up the concert until wee hours, and then resuming the sing contest just before dawn. In four weeks time summer solstice will be here. Till then the evening will just be brighter and lighter.

Unlight me

Now we passed the solstice for sure. A bit cloudy tonight but just a few weeks ago it was possible to sit outside for a bit of reading at this time, 10.30 in the evening. Not so anymore.

Late evening walk

Spending my third week at The Village. Having my friend UL over for a few days. Yesterday we went for a walk on a small island nearby. Beautiful water lilies decorating the surface. An osprey is having its nest next to were we walk, an erie call goes out across the water.

Evening stroll

Clouds reflecting in the lake. A bit like Monet, or what? A blackbird was singing its heart out while I snapped this shot.


Found this adoring little stone house by the road. I´s a big boulder actually.


Bumblebees were busy doing their thing amongst these beauties. Found a field full of them. Plenty of food for all.


Another one...


Now this is the last... for now. Good night y'all.

Red ruby

Late last evening I retired inside for a film and some night snack. While brushing my teeth I found the house glow with a new colour as the light reflected off the freshly painted walls. There is a special feeling seeing the result of a days labour.
