Ronaldo the Robin - Lurking in the bush!


Aren't they the most adorable of birds! I'm pleased I got this shot!


He's been hiding under our snow-covered bush so we've put more food out for him now :-)

Munka Ljungby - Forsen Cache (http://coord.info/GC2DEFH)


Off we go on the hunt for more Tupperware! We also thought this cache would be a good place for Millie Dog Travel Coin.


First I had to climb along the fall. Nerves?! You bet!


Then I had to look around a bit


I still couldn't find it.


Another check on the GPS told me that the cache was actually 3 metres behind me so I did find the cache, log it and placed Millie in there for the next cacher to move along....and without breaking my neck!!

Blekinge Geocaching Event 2010 - Karlsnässkogen


Getting ready for night caching in the woods!


On our way to find our first cache


Helena gives orders!


Christel and Charlie lead the way


Found it!


On to the next one


This cache was lost waaaaaaaaay under the rock, but we still thought we had a chance of retrieving it.....if....only....we.....could....reach.....it!!


Doggy carriers!


Hector and Christel look perplexed. It must be here somewhere!


Nix Pix! Not in here! This place is already spoken for ;-))


But we did at least find the Troll Family along the "Trollstigen" :-D

September days at Cherry Tree Cottage


Little fluffy clouds above Cherry Tree Cottage. Autumn in Sweden is a wonderful time of year. :-D


The olives have now ripened on the tree. The question now is, what the dickins shall we do with them!!!


A spider guards its raspberry.


Our autumn raspberries are now starting to ripen.


Rood food! A naughty plum from our plum tree. ;-))


Christel picks the ripened raspberries. By the time we've eaten the first batch the rest will be ready.


Best view of the garden, hehe! ;-P

Buster


You lookin' at me?!

Silly moments - Courgette Supreme!!


We're kinda chuffed at growing such a big courgette this year. I was tempted to leave it and see how big it would grow but there's too big a risk that the slugs would get it. Will make a nice dish with it at the weekend ;-P

Djurholmen Tour - Hallandsås, Skåne


If you ever wondered which hole I've crawled out of, now you know! ;-)


Caches 1, 2 & 3 sorted! Following the blue trail for part of the way to geocache no 4 - http://coord.info/GC271K4


Christel carefully edges her way down the waterfall. Quite slippy. The things we do in order to retrieve Tupperware boxes using millions of pounds worth of satelite technology...!


Softly softly catchee monkee


Is this poisonous? In any case it was HUGE!


Spot the Troll? ;-))


A slug digests the mushroom it's just munched on


Lazy cow....do cows dream? And if so, what of?!

Cadbury Chocolate Pudding


Unfortunately it didn't last long.... ;-))

Grasshopper


Not happy with the focus on this shot. Couldn't quite get the macro function to work properly. Perseverence, Helen, perseverence!
