Swallows dancing on the wires and bringing spring in :)

I know spring is way in already, but I've always been ok with delayed posts/birthday wishes/etc :D

In Bulgaria swallows are the symbols of the coming spring - when you see one, you know spring has come :)

P.S. These are actually "house martins" in English but in Bulgarian they are basically called "city swallows"

Blackbird singing :)

Happy new year everyone! :)
I greet you all with this cabbage! I wish you to be just as fresh, green, full of life and never bending to any cold/ snowy circumstances as this little fella here. If the cabbage can do it, you can do it too :D

Looking spiky when they're up?
Just watch them hit the ground
and their soft core will be found.

Nature and man

When it comes to nature's power... men are helpless.

The moment when I vividly felt that myself was when I went as close to the Skogafoss waterfall as Ingvi is on that picture. I just looked up and I felt so tiny and so insignificant next to the mighty power of the falling water. I was simply overwhelmed. As overwhelmed as I've never been in my life :o

Dripping water

These droplets of water were all so good in escaping my shutter that I can easily imagine them all singing "Catch me if you caaan" Naa naa naa.
I wrote that in youtube and the song that popped up named "Catch me if you" can is this one. It's actually a nice sounding song! :)

Exploring a little caterpillar

Miss_Smile posted a photo:

2 weeks later I won a bet on how many legs do caterpillars really have? Noone believed me that they actually have only 6 true legs! :))

The exploring continues to this photo where you can see how a caterpillar's poo looks like ;)

I actually enjoyed having the electricity off for an hour :)
At least taking candle pictures is fun for sure! This one is my favorite for today I think.

A vivid Earth-hour-memory of mine is the one we had in our first year in uni when me and my room mate Joan decided to spend the hour playing chess in candle light :)) It truly was a good idea! :)

Isn't he a gorgeous animal?

I just LOVE horses :) I find them so beautiful and gracious and spirit-full :))

This was a teenage horse that absolutely behaved like a dog :D When he say the approaching group of 13 people he started running around in excitement and driven by endless curiosity came to greet those of us who were brave enough to keep walking forwards (those distant 4 figures you see in the upper left corner were the part of the group who felt nothing but fear for this horse). He ended up being the cutest acting-like-a-dog horse I've seen :))
