Öregrund, a gem by the Baltic Sea

Today I took the local bus to a coastal favorite of mine:


This beautiful little town along Upplands coast in Sweden where founded 1491 and have been burned down twice; by the Danes in the 1520's and by the Russians 1791.
It's by the Baltic Sea. in the region of northern Roslagen and Uppland.

In the 1880's the little coastal fishing and shipping town turned in to a resort town for the high society of the larger cities around as well for the well to be middle class. The oldest summer house still standing is from 1890's.

Now a days it's as popular as ever with many restaurants, entertainment and events.

Here are photos from my little walk today:


And off course I have to visit my FAVORITE of them all!
I Love Love Love this house!!!

I finished of my visit with another favorite: White chocolate ice cream with blueberries and raspberries, mmmmmh

I'm saying goodbye from the harbour where the Nordic flags moving in the wind from the Baltic Sea!
Take Care, Per

Columbines & Lupines, they bring the summer!

I Love the Columbines/Aklejor & Lupines, they are certainly a sure sign of summer

Today I was at our cottage by the Baltic Sea and moved the lawn, and enjoyed all the flowers.

My mothers Perennial flowerbeds have always been a favorite place to explore, specially with my camera.
One after another flower are in bloom from spring to late fall, always something to take photos of and enjoy

Columbine/Akleja of all variations
And down by our Pier this beautiful Columbine decided to live

The Lupines that my mother once planted there with seeds, comes and goes and shifting in colors, such an amazing flower

Well at home again, my first Columbine are in bloom, this one I got last fall from my garden friend here in the village, Evy!
And with that do I wish You all a great day/evening, Per!
