A wise decision

No, I´m not going to Scotland this summer either, for different reasons. So I can at first dream a little of Scotland...

...and then be happy of what I´ve got at home...

...and the plans of our family vacations in Arjeplog.

Patience, patience...

 

Patience needed after the footoperation. Dreaming of long, wonderful walks both here at home and in southern Europe, Scotland... 

Walking in Scotland, near Glenmore Lodge(2013) ...

... walking to Ryvoan, Scotland (2013) ...

 ... walking in Arjeplog, near Guoletsjaure (2011)...

 

... and walking in Crete (2007)

 

... and walking in Nykarleby, Forsby (foto Hanna)  and in Arjeplog (2013)   ...

No time to stand and stare

Dave shared this poem with us. Thank you for that!

William Henry Davies:

What is this life if, 
full of care, 

we have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs

and stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, 
when woods we pass,

where squirrels hide their nuts 
in grass.









No time to see, 
in broad daylight,

streams full of stars, 
like skies at night.







No time to turn at Beauty's glance,

and watch her feet, 
how they can dance.








No time to wait 
till her mouth can
enrich 
that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, 
full of care,

we have no time to stand and stare.
