Flower of The Day
With reference to yesterday’s green plant and the question, “What are you looking at?”. It wasn’t as simple as I thought but it’s certainly a kind of onion-plant. Onion is a vegetable cultivated species of the genus Allium, Allium is Latin for Garlic. But the Allium family includes more than just onions so I had […]

January Wildflowers
Ja, alla dessa vilda blommor växer och frodas här på ön just nu. Som vanligt lägger jag upp lite för många bilder men det är så svårt att välja. Dessutom är det av olika skäl lite långt mellan inläggen just nu, tid har jag men känner ofta att jag inte vet vad jag vill med […]

Happiness & Joy!

Let us begin”― Mother Theresa” This spring I saw lots of these, as well as during the summer and fall. Now that winter is here, they are still there. Unaware of […]

Pomegranates and Prickly Pears

They taste pretty good, not too sweet. The pomegranate kernels are not sweet at all but taste good mixed with yogurt and some honey.I found a small […]

Trees on Tuesdays
