Week 41: The leaves are falling down..

17 October, 2011

Tags: nature, umeå, weekly photo

Some might say this is wrong, a photo of leaves, and none of them from a birch - me leaving in the city of birches and all... but I couldn't resist. The grass is green, but this thick layer of newly fallen leaves managed to hide it completely.


Soon it'll all be hidden away under snow, and that would be real nice, making it brighter again outside. We're currently loosing 45mins sunlight/week.

Photo triplet: monochrome

Tags: fototriss, umeå

The Autumn colors are here and all around us and we had planed a trip to an arboretum close by with different kinds of trees from all over the world. A camera, peaceful nature and the sound of the river - a great way to spend a Saturday, specially when the sun is shining.


That didn't match the theme at fototriss, but on our way there, we passed by an old stone church from the 1500-hundreds which I thought would be great in black and white and make a triplet:

Week 40: The little things..

09 October, 2011

Some stairwells are dark and boring, but I've seen one which is different: someone has placed some flowers by one of the windows between the first and second floor. Makes the dark stairwell (where it's really hard to take photos) feel much more alive. I like it alot and that's the reason I picked this image and didn't remove it right away.

I like all the new colors during the autumn, it sort of makes up for the grey weather and the rain.

Amanita muscaria, very beautiful but best left alone since it's poisonous.

Autumn is an interesting time of the year, seems like the days are either awesome and beautiful or greyish and raining. So when the weather allows it, time is best spent outdoors.

Week 36: Chili

28 September, 2011

We knew we started to late, still we gave it a try and a few chilies are getting red and ready, but vast majority could have used a couple of weeks more with lots of sunshine. Beautiful fruits and really strong and tasty. Has to be done again, but the seeds should be planted in late January or February instead of April...

Week 35: Black cherry

22 September, 2011

The balcony has been green and nice most of the summer and it's nice that the different plants produce eatable things at different times. I miss the wild strawberries, but instead we have lots of tomatoes. I've eaten so many of them that I don't really want more and they keep coming!

The picture shows a kind of tomatoes called "black cherry" and they are more black then red, very creative naming - and they're really nice and tasty. Another kind we grow is "hundreds and thousands" and that name also tells a story..
