Morning has broken,,,,

,,,,Like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, Praise for the springing fresh from the word
(Cat Stevens)

Sweet the rain´s new fall, sunlit from heaven, Like the first dewfall, on the first grass

Morning dew, a very early morning at Hensbacka, Munkedal a few days ago.... We sat down in the rising sun, poured up a cup of coffee. The smell of warm coffee and the play of the blackcocks in the distance....could it be better ?

Have a nice weekend all who might look in to the blog this time of the year when everybody is outdoors!!

Anemone Nemorosa,,

The most common flower in the "peak" of the spring. The nature is covered of them and it´s so beautiful. Like a white carpet in the forests, in the parks and in gardens ....

Some have a different colour like this ones below. Some of the white Anemones are even blue !

Hepatica,,

We have a special place, a place to see Hepatica. Every spring they come up here, and this spring it must be a record. Thousands of them at the same place.

With this flowerpictures I wish you all a Happy Easter !! .....and, bring the camera out in the Nature so we can enjoy your nice photos on your blogs......

The smallest, and the largest,,

The smallest bird in Sweden, even in Europe is the Goldcrest. It measures about 9 cm and weighs only 4-6 grams. A few days ago I tried to catch this small bird, which is constantly moving, to the camera memory. I was lucky. Two of them came down to my level. They usually stays high up in the trees but these two was "cooperative" ! They tossed around in front of the cameralens. Thank you very much small birds....

As a contrast to these tiny little birds we have our largest bird, the Sea Eagle! Measuring allmost 2,50 meters between the wing tips it is truly a majestic bird ! Two photos with Sea Eagles in the snowy nature....

......and two photos from the summer. Sea Eagles fishing is an amazing sight !!

Hurry, hurry,,

By the smallbird feeding everybody seems to be in a "hurry". To eat and gain power to get a new family and to raise new familymembers.... The squirrels are coming on and take all the food for the small birds. Saw 5 squirrels at one time, chasing each other.

They seemes to have managed quite well during the winter. When the low sun hits the fur you can see that it is in good condition. The low sunbeams makes the fur "burning"...

The Nuthatch seems to have gained a Santa Claus beard over the winter....:))..and the Woodpecker is eating the "fatballs" which is meant for the small birds....But it is quite nice to look at!

Kungsfiskare (Alcedo atthis),,

This colourful little bird has been staying over the winter not so far from the place where I live. I am greatful to my blogfriend Ingemar P, http://kungsfiskaren.blogspot.com/ , who showed me where to find the Kingfisher. Doing the feathers - must keep them in trim after the dives.....

It´s a skilful fisher, during two hours he (she) managed to catch 6-7 fishes and all of them very quickly diasappeard in the gap .....

Nice and colourful, a great (small) bird !!

Magic light,,

In the troll forest.....playing games with the light.... .......I thought I saw a glimpse of the small people....
