What I like best about spring is being able to go to the sea.
Feel the salty sea breeze. Listen to the spring bird sing.
This is how I experienced my childhood, here in this place,
and I always travel here again when I can.
It is a popular place for birds migration so here they come to rest.
The place is called Herdla. There are also many ancient monuments from the war,
old wrecks of boats so there is always something to see
I remember especially well I
was probably
not more than four or five years old
when me and a boy rowed out in a borrowed (took without law)
a rowboat with oars
to the reefs. Collected seagull eggs
Wonderful color blue green in the sea where you can see the sandbanks below,
cod and flounder fish swimming and these old wrecks that were fun to look at
Northern Vanellus vanellus
(Linnaeus, 1758)
This bird is lovely to watch and there is not so many of them
One has to be very careful.They have a tendency to attack
your headif you come to close to their nest
Common redshank Tringa totanus
I love this sound
But best of all, eat freshly picked strawberries with cream milk
The joy of children.Her with a Pokemon which seems
to be loved and shared both adults and little ones
The header is appleblossing at Old Bergen
Hope this went well!
These are some pictures I found on my computer,
I have many pictures but it takes time to find them.
So the story of what I love in the spring is what
my childhood gave me and I still enjoy it to this day.
Here in Bergen and in my district Fyllingsdalen,
we have now been ordered to wear face masks in shops,
malls and of course on city rail and bus at all times.
The restaurants have tightened times.
Large and expensive fines if one does not comply with the order
Covid has started to ravage again here with us.
At the test stations there are long queues with mint 5 hours waiting time.
Yes now it's on again,
Corona winter is coming.
It will become wet ,cold and mask all around
Det blir vått og kaldt og munnbind overalt :)
Your shots of the cattle particularly stands out to me. It's their expressions.
SvarSlettthank you!Yes they have a nice summer out all the time :))
SvarSlettI miss spring already!😊
SvarSlettAnd I love that photo of cows.❤
Thank you Mirjam! I miss the long days with sun too
SlettYes the milk from the cows are very good
Stay well and happy Mirjam❤
Buen reto, que has resuelto bastante bien con unas preciosas fotos, muestra inéquivoca de la belleza de esa estación.
SvarSlettBesos
Muchas gracias!la primavera y el verano son agradables. Esperamos que sea una buena primavera y verano el próximo año.
SlettAnita
Bonitas fotos con la primavera como protagonista, en especial las de las aves.
SvarSlettSaludos.
Thank you Jesus!
SlettI also like the cow's expressions. They look very serious. :) Hope you get better soon. We are beginning week 2 of our 6 week lockdown. It's been raining alot lately so there is no reason to be outside. Stay safe, Anita.
SvarSlettSame here.After tomorrow at the test center i will be in carantene for 3 weeks I quess,it is raining and stormy weather here as well.i have found a good book from -alaska which i like to read
SlettHope you do good and stay happy and safe Bill

SvarSlettPreciosas fotos Anita, y como bien dices el verano es maravilloso. En España, también se ha vuelto a disparar de nuevo el maldito COVID19, no tenemos más remedio que tomar muchas precauciones.
SvarSlettUn abrazo y cuídate.
Muchas gracias! necesitamos fuerza y amor!xxx
SlettHello Anita
SvarSletteverything captured in pictures, pictures that you look at again and again
The second lockdown starts with us from November 2nd, 2020 then everything is closed again ... a shame but we want to stay healthy and I think that's the right way
Greetings Frank
The second wave is here now!
Sletti feel sad for the many working people that now dont have any work to go to
We hope for the good Frank!
thank you for the comment.Be safe!I will miss you if you get sick!
Oh if it were spring! There is a long Covid winter ahead of us here too, Anita. In some parts of Canada, the virus is out of control again. I fear there is worse yet to come.
SvarSlettI agree Marie.And now when they have found out that the vaccine has some failure in it I feel the worst to come..But hope for the better.One mustbe positive!
SlettThank you Marie!
Lovely to see your photographs here and I love the apple-blossom at Old Bergen in your header.
SvarSlettHere in the UK Covid is on the rise again and we have different levels of restrictions.
Stay safe and well.
All the best Jan
Thank you!Yes we have UK daily news on the tele everyday!I hope it will turn such as we can celebrate Christmas with the family.Her we are only allowed to be family near and dear ones , five persons together.Not go out so much.There is almost no one at the malls or shops The rise of infected are very high..much import infections but also the youth..it has spread all around now..We are only ca 29 650 inhabitans here I live but the daily infected are about 77 to 44 each day.We hope for the better turn :))
SlettNice variety of excellent photographs, Anita. My choice, for obvious reasons I would assume, is the one with the yum-m-m-m-my strawberries.
SvarSlettthank you Fram!Strawberries are always good!
SlettGlad you liked it :))
Oh best wishes to you during these difficult times. I do enjoy your photos and your comments. Thank you so much for doing this. (I'm an old woman in Texas, but have always had a hankering (look it up) for Norway. Can't explain it, but there it is. Maybe because it is so beautiful, but I think it is the people!)
SvarSlettThank you Judith!and thanks for coming to look at my blog!It must be wonderful to live in Texas the warmth the nice people.i have seen many documentaries and movies from the place :)I dont know about the people..We are very alike here in Scandinavia. Apropo.. beeing or feeling old..i feel it all the time!hah hah in my mind and my bones!
SlettNothing to do about it just move on :))
All photogrpahs including the header and the captions are wonderful!
SvarSlettthank you very much!
SlettThe header photo is beautiful Anita.
SvarSlettDo love strawberries have them most evenings for sweets.
The birds are nice as is the whistle of the first bird.
Take care and hope your cold is getting better and you too :)
Thank you Margaret!Ohh strawberries for sweets!wow!!Here they are very expensive!I eat carrots heh heh cheap and healthy but one time i lost my tooth because of that hard carrot, booo !! Coast me 4000kr at the dentist!
SlettTomorrow i will pay a visit to the drop in test so we will se!Hope for the good :))
Thank you for your summer memories. Thank you also for challenging me to reminisce.
SvarSlettI can see, your summer includes beautiful flowers, moving around in nature, on the beaches, bird watching and delicacy with fresh strawberries. Have a nice summer - also in pictures and memories.
Maybe I’m also trying to dig into my summer memories, but in Finnish.
Thank you for accepting the challenge!Your photoes are amazing!Like a fairy tale!no wonder your photoes sell good :)
SlettI have the tendency to go back and look at old blog post of the ones i follow.I t will be great to have more look at your blog when winther sets in
Great summer and spring memories the pictures are great and amazing animals
SvarSlettthank you Steve!
Slettyou re welcome
SlettStones near the sea are beautifull. Memories will allways guide us and our feelings.
SvarSlettThese cows have something interesting to look at :)
I´m so tired to think covid. I just go and do what is ordered and try to think it positive... At work I concentrate on breathing while I´m work. My mouth feels odd for keeping masks for "ages".
Iam sick of the Covid.Now they say we cant have the vaccine not before spring next year due to many complications with the oxford vaccine..It is terrible to work with that mask.and all the yellow sterile coast..If one pasient pukes or sneezze there is full alarm..thank you very much fr the comment Sartsa!
SlettI agree with William.Never saw a cow with what I think is seawater in the back but still beautiful. Also the strawberry's with creamy milk looks very appetizing. Nice work aigain Anita.
SvarSlettYes it is sea water!They eat the grass there but sometimes I fear them they run so fast to us!But the mother cow is giving milk so she is calm hehe heh
SlettThese images will seem especially precious, Anita, as the dark days of winter take over. And the pandemic is far from over and we have difficult times ahead, I hope that your cold will go away soon. Stay well and stay healthy. Hugs from Canada.
SvarSlettthank you David for the visit!
SlettNy har jag skrivit on min sommaren!
SvarSlettTusen takk Aimarii!Det gleder meg!Jeg er litt sein med å skrive for nå frykter jeg Coronaer kommet i mitt hjem.Min sønn er nærkontakt med en Tamil (Siri Lanka)som har corona smittede pårørende og da må vi alle testes! !Vi har en "drop in Corona test( Drive through )her jeg bor. Jeg tror jeg må teste meg!Jeg har hatt luftveis symptomer noen dager men er ellers helt bra.Min sønn er også frisk men en vet aldri.De unge blir jo ikke syk.Jeg river meg i håret av denne galskapen Corona!Jeg har sett inlegget ditt og skal se igjen det var slike nydelige bilder!Takk Igjen!
SlettNot nice if your son and you are sick.
SlettAll that helps is to be quarantined.Not nice if your son and you are sick.
All that helps is to be quarantined.
There have also been corona exposures here at the Youth and Leisure Center. So rather close to me too!
Horrible, let's tear our hair together!
Hi Aimarii! :) My son is not sick even after the exposure to the corona virus..but me his "old" mother has got the symptoms.I was tested yester day .A long long thick stick into my nose(felt like it was entering my brain.There it was held about three seconds.The nurses was very correct and nice.Long long ques at the station..Started about 08.00 a clock but did not open before 10.
SlettI felt so exhausted I went right home straight to bed,Was only up for a cup of tea.My symptoms are head ache,running nose ,slight coughing and slight fever.Iam waiting for the test results now.But the flu is also running here at my place(and empty already for the flu vaccine)so many are sick.It is difficult to see what is what.I hope you stay safe and at home.Having corona so near to your place in Finland is schocking!
Hah hah yepp it is a mad mad time!I cant tear my hair anymore it will disappear! hah hah
Dear Anita,
SvarSlettyes, unfortunately the corona numbers have risen sharply again. In Germany there is a new lockdown (hotels, restaurants, fitness clubs, many shops closed), and here in Austria it will probably come soon. I am no longer allowed to visit my mother in the nursing home. It is much nicer to remember good times: Your spring photos put me in a good mood. I find the photo with the cows in front of the sea particularly artistic - we don't have such a sight here (because we have no sea ;-))
Hugs Traude

Funny that Pikachu.

Lovely memories ;-))
SvarSlettKaunista ja herkullista !Happy weekend !
SvarSlettDear Anita!
SvarSlettBeautiful photos for this difficult Covid time.
Your memories are wonderful, I am watching a beautiful summer, flowers, nature.
In Poland, we women are on strike. The PiS government prepared a cruel law for us, banned abortion in the event of severe and irreversible damage to the fetus.
I wish you good health and send you the power of cordiality :)

Mörkret i form av covidmoln attackerar oss igen. Även om vi skåningar/svenskar förmodligen hanterat problemen annorlunda än andra länder. Det blir en trist jul, en mörk vinter. Lika bra som du rikta in sig på en bättre värld senare, kanske (redan) i vår.
SvarSlettDeerhunter
Ja jeg vet dette vil gå bra om vi alle er forsiktige ,bruker munnbind og holder avstand.Ellers følge retningslinjene fra staten.Kan ikke gåog tenke på alt dette.det blir jo som Den Lille Død!
SlettNeii jeg er syk men det skal gå bra
Jeg har meisefuglene på min veranda og jeg øver meg med kamera når jeg orker.Har nu forstått Iso (Som ble en stor skildnad på mine bilder).Har bare å forstå lukker og blender.Det blir bra skal man se til slutt!Takk for din fine kommentar.Orker ikke sitte så mye på nettet vi snakkest!
Recordar días llenos de luz anima amiga. Preciosas fotos con mucha naturaleza en ellas.
SvarSlettCúrate el constipado amiga.
Te deseo buena noche Anita. Y cuídate.
Un abrazo.
You have such wonderful childhood memories, and to revisit them is always special. Fresh strawberries or peaches with cream is an indulgence I love. It's miserable being sick, and I hope you will be okay and get well soon.
SvarSlettKiitos sinulle kun kiinnostuit haasteesta.
SvarSlett🤗 ❤
Love the variety of your photos, nice done!
SvarSlettEsa luz y esos colores radian vida pero bueno los colores del otoño también marcan otra época preciosa para disfrutar. Cuídate mucho.
SvarSlettAbrazote utópico.-
Maravilloso, me han gustado mucho todas las fotos. Enhorabuena Anita, feliz otoño. Saludos desde el norte de España.
SvarSlettIhania kuvia! Kiitos haasteesta. :)
SvarSlettLovely from your pretty springs while we are heading winter, it’s a nice change in views. I listen to that bird’s sound, and it's sweeter, just like how you spent your childhood there. Covid 19 is slowly declining here, or have they reduced the testing, I don’t know, but we are ordered to wear the mask all the time once stepped out of the home.
SvarSlettI hope you take care :)
heh heh here they are all crazy!We even should wear a face mask indoor!Says the goverment hahah impossible!
SlettThank you for visiting me here Jeevan.I like you!
Thank You!
SvarSlettYou are too kind Yannis!Always a gentleman!I wish and hope everything will turn out good after the eathquake.Wish you all the best!
SvarSlettSo nice summer pictures! Love to watch these during dark and rainy days, such as today. It makes me so sad that covid is again spreading everywhere, in Finland as well. Have to keep working distant the whole Spring. Hope you get well soon!
SvarSlettThanks for the challenge, didn't notice it at first! Actually I just published some flower pictures - not from the summer, but from this November. It's a little horrifying to see flowers flourishing the second time this year (in November!). The climate has really changed during the last thirty years...
SlettI love the two cows, simply looking the sea, perfect. Redshank and Lapwing are beautiful as well.
SvarSlettFabulous pictures Anita, I love seeing the cows :)
SvarSlettOur daylight savings time finally kicked in last night, so dark by five o'clock now, Winter is surely heading our way.
Hope you are staying safe in these surreal times, thank you for sharing your pictures and brightening our days.
Hugs,
Jo
Hermosas fotos recibe un generoso saludo en este mes que comienza!

Beijinhos floridos!🌼🍀🌺

Jeg er også glad for å se Pokemons munter smil. Bildet av et par kuer ser også morsomt ut, og minner meg om landstemningen i oldemorens hus. Hilsen fra Indonesia.
SvarSlettExcellent shots. Two birds in your photos are clear and vivid.
SvarSlettHej Anita ! Krya på dig, och vilka fina minnen av sommaren. Lika bra att tänka på det hoppas att det snart blir "normalt" igen och att vintern går fort så att vi kommer till en vår och sommar med hopp igen !
SvarSlettTakk Lasse!Vi håper det beste:))
SlettAmazing picture and my daughter loved the pokemon one
SvarSlettLovely memories.
SvarSlettIt is always nice to return to your place of birth.
Beautiful photos!
Thank you Anita for the challenge. I will face the challenge during November.
Here, people follow the restrictions pretty well. They even say it’s a little easier for covid-19. (Statistics may vary.)
Also many restrictions.
Happy week to you!:)
Thanks for your comment on my post. I didn't go into the shrine. Yes. As you said, ancient people in this country thought there were lots of gods/goddesses in this world. The world of the Greeks were filled with many gods/goddesses, too. Have a nice day!
SvarSlettDearest Anita that Pikachu mascot is super cute! Love all the photos and the cows on the first one kind of looks like lionesses, so beautiful and so regal! Stay safe!
SvarSlettUnas imagenes muy bonitas y sugerentes, saludos y cuidate mucho.
SvarSlettSon preciosas las fotografías, me alegra que las hayas publicado, Anita.
SvarSlettMuchas gracias por tu comentario en mi blog.
Besos.
How nice to see your spring photos and read your childhood memories!
SvarSlettThis is a difficult time to travel! Fortunately, we can keep memories in the pictures!
Stay safe dear Anita!
Dear Anita,
SvarSlettthank you for your comment - I hope you are well again in the meantime! Influenza is a very unpleasant disease and unfortunately it takes a long time to get fit again.
You're right, the small wooden church in Bad Mitterndorf looks similar to the stave churches in Scandinavia! They are so pretty!
Hugs and have a nice new week!

I feel like the two of you will catch the covid buddy, take good care of each other. My daughter-in-law, the wife of my young son who lives in Madrid, also passed it, but my son did not. She had very mild symptoms and has not had any sequelae. Take good care of yourselves, my friend and I hope you recover soon.
SvarSlettÁnimo y cuidaros mucho amiga.
Abrazos🙅🙅 〰〰 💕
I have to laugh Laura!Covid Buddy!!heh heh heh!

Hi! We haven`t been reading about you for you a while and I became worried and came to see what`s up. Did your family got covid (last comment)?? I hope you are feeling better and the situation in your town is also better!
SvarSlettHello Sartsa!Yes we are better now ! Iam back to work again as we have to here.Feeling fine but alittle tired.My town is a very infectious place.There is a lockdown and today we will have it even more.All the healtcare people and patients and visitors have to take a covid test (They are working on it)Before entering work.Thats because we have many deaths now,even a little child.The Parents and all of us are very sad.The royal house also have The covid and are in isolation I took many photoes yesterday when I had a very very short visit to town but in some way, I can not explain ,I am more quiet a bout blogging..I hope i will come back later before christmas.And i will visit you
SlettThe good news here in town that is every worker that stand in the pandemic like the cleaners and those in the foodshops gets a BONUS with 10 000 kr !!Because they do a good work in this terrible time
Thank you for coming here Sartsa :)
I`m glad you are better now. The infectionrisk has risen here too, but not so terribly much. They say, that about 1/3 of them can not be chained to someone.
SlettYesterday I read from a paper, what Europe has writen about finnish covid. I had to laugh, because they think it´s easier for finnish people to isolate themselves, because it´s normal for them. Also we WANT to be alone now and then ;D
How marvellous, that you get a bonus! You´ve earned it! Hope someone makes a start like that here.
It´s so sad, when a child goes. Allways. I know that, because I´ve berried one many years ago. It feels so wrong, but maybe it´s ment like that in higher means.
Let´s hope better times forward.
Espero que sigas mejorando. O mejor que ya dejaras el covid atrás y no te dejara secuelas.
SvarSlettBuena semana Anita.Cuídate.
Un abrazo.
I hope you are well, dearest Anita!
