…again! A summer warmth wrapped itself around Käringsboda Nature Reserve today. With the sun at its peak, Baxter and I went along a favorite road and feasted on the visual delights along the way. I’d like to believe that we were totally alone for the few hours we were there because we saw no others.

I can’t explain why I enjoy this place so much. Perhaps the lushness of the hardwood trees that reminds me of Ohio or the remoteness in contradiction to the nearness of a large city? Or, perhaps for the fact of being allowed to be outside in a forest without being continually attacked by mosquitoes, though Baxter contends with the ticks. Perhaps just laziness with exploring newer places?

The small houses are occupied but reminds one of how life could appear to be in remote areas along the Swedish coast added with the typical red paint and surrounded by simplicity and quietude.

Here’s a small gallery of what was showing today…
