Today's Flowers

The days are short and the shadows are long here in Scandinavia...
Here are some flowers I found today near my summer cottage. Still blooming after the -5 C temperature at night... Here is my pea plant. I picked even some peas which were so big that they were eatable. The 2nd of November, can you imagine!

See what others are picked up: http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.com/

Where is the rainbow?



After autumn rain in Stockholm,
yesterday afternoon

PS. I think I have to make a longer pause now and here because I have no time to follow all memes I'll like to participate...
SkyWatch is my 'first love' and folks like it too - there is already ca 356 links before me, I'm late again...but better late than never.

Macro Monday!




As I was late for Odd Shot's Monday, I investigated carefully CC and Today's Flower memes. And I found Macro Monday. Perfect to me today.

What is that?


It's just a big, weird mushroom, picked ca 10 miles from Stockholm, Sweden, Scandinavia :).
They say, it's not eatable, but I know people who use to dry it - the powder gives special taste for some meat dishes.


Check out more macro shots at Lisa's chaos.

Sunday Post - Camera Critters & Today's Flower

This is our 1st Camera critter. Misty Dawn started the meme and explains the rules here.


Here's our memories of the summer:

Hiding Lizard by R...


and Resting "Chopper" by J

The lizard climbed quite high up on the tree, so I had no need to bend down to shoot. The dragonfly was resting on our summer cottage chimney, it's zoomed picture...

Today's Flower comes stright from our's yesterday´s trip to Brevik - This is my contribution - also the first one - to Today's Flowers hosted by Santilli.




It's very common this warm autumn in our Stockholm's county to see berries and flowers the same time...
