John Bauer was a Swedish artist famous for his illustrations in some story tales. He had a special mood in his painting of the life in the fairy tale forests. In my eyes his figurs was very friendly. It was probaly my first contact with art and i loved, and still do, his work
This image I took in the forest of groengarn, south of city Enkoeping Sweden, I think the mood from his paintings has come through and remind me of the happy time of childhood
This week I have tried to catch the kingfisher. It has been hard to see the little guy in the weak light, in the bay, on the other side of the creek of City Enkoeping. It uses a dead branch in the water to sit on, however, my eyes do hardly see him if not moving, and then he is to fast. The Iso goes up high, even using exposer at 1/250 sec using a 800 mm lens only havinf f 11. However at last, after watching for him for some days and hours, I get an acceptal shot of him at about ISO 8000.
This is my new sugestion from my portfolios.

Some days you wake up and wish it was an other thay. This day was such a day, after a few days with nice warm weather it was cold, rainy, grey day with a lot of wind. Had to take out the winter clouds again. Took the camer out and went to the dream park (Drömparken) in city Enöping to take a few pictures, hopefully with some snow on them. Well the snow was there but not on the wright places. Took a picture of a very little blue flower with droplets on. In development of the image I desided to do something with the background and enhanced it digitally and it bacame, in my yes, more of a world of fairies. It maked me think that they now was preparing the nature, by cleaning it, for the summer so they could dance all sommer long. What do you belive?
Demons. The orange demons was attacking the earth but they could not be seen by people living there. They had fun when terrifying the people with sicknes and other scaring activities. However man find ways to stop the sickness and after some time they were forgotten. Instead of the demons there came birds to the aid of people.
Is there a hope for an old person to be able to draw a face when this is the best so far?

Today new reports in the news about covid 19, mostly negative, about number of people not surviving the sickness. There was also a medical program discussing the importance of contacts and to be positive on the future. You need to do something you like and can do or start something new without going out, that can be arts, photo work, painting or learn to do something you never done before. This is things you have oppertunity to do now and it makes you not to feel alone. Maybe you find a start in life.
Wish you all the best

Maybe the children in this garden go out on a starry cold winterday with her parents to invest the stras in the sky. There might be wonders and feeling you only know as child. But can you remember your feeling in that moment?
Today is a typical swedish summer day in Sweden,It rains. It is good for the plants but it feels a bit cold after some warm days, around 30 centigrades. In times of Corona I suppose it is easeir for people to isolate themself when weather don't invite to be out. However, many people have dificultes to br isolated from escother for long periods as it has been now. The only thing we can do is to take care and avoid to spread the virus, hope it will be over soon, it feels as being on a stormy sea.
