Rio de Janeiro in my heart

Never forget!

Shanghai speed train

Sydney in my heart

Now my birthday is over, and it has been a wonderful day, with bright sunshine, and lots of congratulations from near and far. And best of all was when my little grandchild sang Happy Birthday for me.

Prince Daniel

Royalist or not, this he did very well! To stand up in front of a whole world, and keep such a brilliant speech, with no experience, not bad at all!  I took him to my heart. And it is true love, there is no doubt. Let us do away with irony and  defamation! There are other things wasting energy at, than a harmless and beautiful Royal family.

Today I painted the ''wooden wall'' for my balcony. The weather is still not good, so to sit there is not an issue, even though it is mid-June.

cinnamon rolls

Today I baked cinnamon rolls, typically Swedish.... my family is coming to Sweden in a few weeks, from all over the world. To pamper children and grandchild.

logotype

Now I made a logo for our new Photo Club. Anyone who is interested in photography are welcome. We start on September 7. Welcome.

balcony

Now I've fixed my balcony, which I didn't like before. I'm not accustomed to apartment ....... but now I have no transparency, and the heavy bulky furniture I brought with me from Spain, is exchanged for a smaller sofa and two armchairs. Now I like it, sooo much. Wonderful summer sweden, please stay a long time!

Good luck Jill!

A lovely singing 14 years old girl, won the ''Talent'' in Sweden yesterday. Many teases her and says she looks like an old lady ...... she is fat ..... etc.. She sings beautifully, has a wonderful smile, is clever and nice, what more is needed. I hate bullies.

lens

Since a few weeks I'm a member of a photo club. Is now upgrading my camera, with a new lens. Nikon Original 70-300 ....... Sigma 18-250......Tamron ...... I don't know, I give up. Help!

Yesterday, the day when we were told, that we are not gonna participate in ESC. For the first time. There were songs that surely was much worse. I know a number. Now I don't know ..... there is usually a bit of an anti-climax for me after the Eurovision Song Contest, what about now, when Sweden is not involved, will I watch, or not.....

no words needed

back in Sydney

Teenage adventure sailor Jessica Watson is on dry land after her epic solo around the world voyage. The 16-year-old Queenslander stepped ashore at the Sydney Opera House a couple of minutes before 3pm (AEST) Saturday. The youngster has now completed her solo, unassisted circumnavigation of the globe - an epic 23,000 nautical mile (about 38,000km) journey.

Sound of Noise

I have been in several movies as an extra, this is one of them. Have many good photos from the shooting, but keep them for myself, till the premiere. Fun it was, long days and half nights for all of us. But a great opportunity to meet a lot of nice people, and to be able to follow the work of movie making.

It's over one and a half years since the first scenes was recorded, and now it's premiere in Sweden in August. But first to Cannes ...

I always get so emotional by this.....

This surrealistic foto taken by my daughter in the area around Sydney, Australia, where she's been resident for some years now. Beautiful!

Tulsa - Oklahoma.

The 67-year-old driver was about to reverse into a parking lot when his foot got stuck between the pedals. The car got up so high speed that it drove right into and through the wall - on the seventh floor. The car was hanging out

Now it sits there, completely perplexed, what should I do now, ehhh, I start building on top of the plastic bag .... or, no, it's not good ....or.....hmm

Is this a battle between David and Goliath? Who's who, and who will win. I feel evil, but would I give up my balcony, so the birds can have it this summer ...... no, I hope they'll find something even better!

Never give up.

Although I removed the nest few days ago, they'll be there again. The pair definitely want to stay on my balcony, this season... I put foil paper that would scare them, but they took it away. So now I'm out removing it again, if I myself will be able to use the balcony this summer. And it was not magpies, it was pigeons .....

Bird nest

Now I'm going out on the balcony to take away a nest ..... get so bad conscience ..... it's a ''maternity ward'' for the birds,
in this case probably magpies, in view of the architecture

I love this one

sooo fun, and cute

Chaos!

Volcano eruption at Eyjafjallajökull glacier in Iceland creates chaos. In the interest of safety are now several countries closing their airspace. All flights to and from the countries is stopped.
During the day, the air traffic suspended in the following countries:

UK
Belgium
Ireland
Netherlands
Norway

Sweden's airspace is closed completely
Denmark closes its airspace at 17th
And at 13:15, it became clear that Sweden closes its entire sky from 18 o'clock in the evening. No flights will be able to lift from, or fly to, Sweden.

Pictures of happy swans.
But now the ice is gone, and the flowers takes over, a wonderful time, that you have to enjoy.
Summer is short.

Scary!!

some brilliant photos by my daughter

2005-Augusta

I don't like what he have done.....but he is a damn good player.

Cara, I'm with you!

ahhh, I'm in love ....
American Idol yesterday (Sweden) ..... Casey James ..... I wish I was 30 years younger, and on a desert island with this guy, and his guitar ........

  This weekend I have been creative,  and painted two paintings. ''9 / 11'' and ''Shanghai''

candy

The Swedes are the world champions to eat candy. We eat an average of seventeen kilograms candy per person a year, while the average EU citizen eat seven kilograms a year.
I ate to much this Easter, so now its enough!
