Spider

Little spider
guards the web
like a mighty queen
await vibrations
from a tiny insect to be seen

Little spider
never to be beaten
its beautiful web
a golden trap
for the tiny insect to be eaten

Dragonfly (Odonata)

I came a cross this little beauty, a dragon fly, on a little rhododendron bush in my garden. I watched it for a while and thought it was a pity I didn’t have my camera with me. Just in case it would be there for a while I ran in to the house and fetched my camera and luckily the little dragonfly still was resting on the same little bush. I was so happy as these insects don’t sit still for a very long time. I do not know what type of dragonfly this is, but worldwide there are over 3000 different types, in Norway there are only 48 types.

White water lily

Nymphaea alba

Water lilies is one of the most beautiful plants I know. This shot is also one of my best shots. It is from Lillomarka just outside Oslo when I went on a walk with a very good friend of mine. I used a 300 mm Nikon lense, lying flat in the swamp to avoid any unwanted movements.

I hope you also enjoy this beautiful and mysterious flower.

Late summer

Scandinavian summer
is the short kind
like a visitor
in a hurry

July is almost over
late summer
with signs of
autumn's arrival

Beautiful August
bring warm colors
to make up for
cold and dark evenings

Ladybird

Little red bug
fluttering about
resting in
colorful gardens
and flowering fields
making children
shouting happy
summertime
is just the best
Ladybird (Marihøne) – on nettle

Sweet berries

remember a walk
in a blueberry field
covered of pink
little flowers

a few weeks later
the blueberry field
turned all green
with berries to be

now summer is on
in the blueberry field
and the ripe berries
taste so sweet
