Early Monday morning..

..the small harbour of Sandhamn is calm and quite beautiful and I wait with my good friend Paivi - who gave me a smooth ride to the village on her electrical moped - on the jetty for the ferry to take me back to the mainland.

And after a night ride on yet another ferry I am back in my house in Gotland. In the morning after some hours sleep, I walk around in my nightie in the garden amazed over the turn it has taken.

I feel I am walking in paradise in the midst of the heavy smells of allt the various kinds of lillies and peonies in all colors.The fruit trees are all in bloom..

A bouquet is picked that will fill the house with the loveliest smells..

The early morning sun ..

..filters through the trees..

..and the rape fields in a distance are a glowing yellow..
