It so happened that I turned fourty while visiting family U-N. A lovely sommer day, just like the summerdays I remember as a child.

The children and the fathers where fishing from the pier. Anthea had a large perch on the hook that fell off, but managed to catch another smaller one.

On the veranda a small grey flycatcher had built a nest in a hanging flower basket. Every time nearby area was free from folks it flew there to brood. A few days later, we where told, the eggs had hatched and there where three small birds. Good job!

The best thing about this year would be our chubby little baby who nowadays eats ever larger food portions and only drinks from a glass.

I brought some ingredients for a summer cake and B had baked qute glazed muffins.

Precisely the cozy birthday fika I had wished for. Most of the present where unknowing it was my birthday.

Love forests. Did some photo shooting on my way from the pier to the house.

How lovely the Swedish forst is, even when not hunting for extraordinary views.

I feel for a forest promenade. Particularly when roving freely.

In the evening there was grilling, loads of meet and sausages. And various sauces to go with it.

In broiling sun we had the grilled food, even if it probably was after 20. Perhaps that is the most special about Nordic summers, the light and sometimes sunny evenings and nights.
