Saturday offered simply glorious weather - although I find it rather disturbing how summer arrived before spring had a real chance to settle in these parts - and it was finally time for the season inauguration of toy car - the car that magically usually blows all the troubles and miseries away. If only for a while it is welcome. Yes, so very much more than welcome these days - which was lovely in itself.
What made the trip even finer was the destination. The destination was a not known by many field with the sweet king's meadow lily (kungsängslilja aka fritillaria). Despite inside information to the magic place it took a while to locate. But once found, oh sweetness galore, a flowery sight for sore eyes.
And the lilies shared the field with wood anemones, cowslips, dandelions and others. Just beautiful.
I hope the sight and time spent in the field of such delight will help make another gruesome week feel tad bit better - yes, it's been five months and I still hope things will change the way I want sooner than soon. My constant companion called melancholy need a very long holiday. Better yet, a new best friend -
Here some glimpses of one day in May, a secret field in Sweden ~

What utter astonishing beauty. Just colour, colour and more colour. Amazing. Great, great photos. I hope the increase in sunlight will bring you good feelings and joy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures as always, visiting your blog is like having a short holiday in Sweden!
ReplyDeleteAh, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFritillaria are amongst my favourite flowers and here you have them growing wild in a secret meadow - I am in awe, and just a bit envious too!
Perfect photos,

It is a blustery windy cool night here, and I so enjoyed your beautiful spring pictures Miss P. The warmth and sunshine can be felt here in old NZ.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can shake off your blues soon, I hate that feeling and understand a little of how you feel.

thanks, denise, aren't such secret hideouts THE best?!
thank you, sweet you two, julie and poppy q!
thank you, sapphire, it is a bit tricky to give directions - and we don't want hordes of people to discover such secret places, eh;) - we nearly missed it ourselves, but it is in the semi vicinity of norrtälje town in the roslagen area.
