ReplyDeletehihihi!!Artigt med de kuenen!!!Alle bildene kjempefine:))))))
ReplyDeleteLove the cattle images. I hope you have a lovely weekend
ReplyDeleteLehmien näkeminen saa aina lämpimän läikähdyksen sydämessäni. Johtunee siitä, että olen karjatilalla syntynyt ja vasikoita hoidellut.
ReplyDeleteVakre bilder! Kuene er så søte ☺
ReplyDeleteGod helg!
Gunilla, I love your second shot of Wood Horsetail. Beautiful in its simplicity. Your marsh marigold is very similar in flower to a buttercup. I love seeing the native wildflowers from each country. I must show you some of ours.
ReplyDeleteLovely markings on these cattle! such pretty flowers and trees to enjoy on a stroll through the area!
ReplyDeleteHello Gunilla, it is wonderful the cattle can graze on the nature reserve. The flowers are lovely and the wood horsetail is cool. Great collection of photos. Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteDearest Gunilla; Cattle pictures from your post is always my favorite and the wood horsetail is really Lovely so as the Blackbird♡♡♡

The horsetail is quite attractive. Is it invasive like the horsetail that grows in Canada? LOVE the Finncattle!

The Wood Horsetail is a very attractive and unusual plant - to me at least. I'll bet it's a common sight for you Gunilla.
ReplyDeleteKuene ser så gode ut :) Fine naturbilder.

ReplyDeleteHappy week to you,
artmusedog and carol
Another awesome walk in the woods with camera in hand.
ReplyDeleteSehr schöne Naturaufnahmen.
ReplyDeleteJetzt neigt sich der Herbst dem Ende zu.
Bald ist die Landschaft weiss.
Liebe Grüße, Karin
sweet cattle and blooms.
ReplyDeletelovely photo's....
ReplyDeleteLoved your flower shots, but I really like the picture of the little whitish calf. It’s face is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThe cattle are cute. I love that Wood horsetail!
ReplyDelete~
Your cattle are special. That wood horsetail is much fancier and more colorful than the ones that grow in my yard. I remember Marsh Marigolds from long ago. The blackbird on the nest is cute, now that it is cold I enjoy the warm photos to look forward to next year.
ReplyDeletewonderful images! that wood horsetail is so interesting! as are those beautiful marigolds!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing collection of macros. And that walking trail looks enchanting.
ReplyDeleteHorsetails and Marigolds - which season are you in again?

PS: my slowness to comment and visit has been caused by a trip to an island in the Pacific!
