The world was still there when I decided to leave the house today. Horrible weather. And that is also pretty much how I felt. Still coughing and snoring so it wasn't a very pleasant bike ride to the old tree.

The old tree just after sunset yesterday afternoon. The day started with sunshine and a blue sky. Then came the rain,(see the rainbow snap from yesterdays post). When the rain stopped I was sitting at the cafe, and as it started to get dark I pedalled for home and this was the only pit stop.

What a difference a week can do. It was just a few days ago that I showed you a photo with the old tree surrounded by deep snow. Well, since then it has been much warmer and most of the snow in Haninge is already gone. This was the scene at the tree yesterday.

You probably knew that I would visit the old tree after that heavy snowfall didn't you? It was a good workout as I had to wade in deep snow to get there. Halfway down the path I met a couple walking in the other direction so from there I could walk in their footsteps. That made it a little easier for me, which I thanked them for.

Nu sunshine in Stockholm and Södertörn for the last two weeks. It's been a nasty fortnight with strong winds, gray skies and a few rain showers. The only upside have been the Autumn colors. This was the scene at the old tree yesterday. Most of the leaves are gone now, the tree is ready for Winter, I'm not.

This was probably the last Summer week of the year. It's been an unusual warm start to Autumn, and it is in fact still meteorological Summer here. Arriving to the old tree yesterday I had to bike through unusual traffic as the road suddenly filled up with a few hundred kids. They took the commuter to Tungelsta only to run back to Västerhaninge, a rather sweaty five km run in the warm weather is my guess.

A different take on the old tree. Shot earlier in the week. The woman walking up the path is the cultural icon Christina Lindberg. She told me about a new horror movie she filmed this Summer, directed by Adriàn Bogliano. And that her biography, written by Björn Ranelid (very famous Swedish author), will be released on my birthday!

It started to rain as I took this photo yesterday. The wind picked up a bit and the temperature dropped. Looks like Summer is on the way out.

The old tree during the golden hour yesterday. Out walking the dogs further down the path is Christina Lindberg and a friend.

Never had so many rainy days as this Summer. Ever. And it has been cold. But now, finally maybe we are in for a little heat wave. Not a Perth Summer" or anything, but still. I actually managed to build up a sweat on my bike ride to the old tree yesterday!

Here are my two, (so far), July photos of the old tree. It was warm and windy on my first visit this month (second photo),and a bit calmer the week after that. If you look closely you can see that the farmer have been busy harvesting the hay.

We celebrate Midsummer today. It will be a wet and rainy affair. Staying indoors sounds nice, which is a shame. This was the old tree earlier in the week. Did you know about what3words? If not check it out.

Henrietta was busy looking in her binoculars after a fleeing bird when I closed in on the old tree yesterday. She told me that she often spots brown owls here. We talked a bit about the cold Spring and she then pointed me out to a gravel road in a rural landscape close to the sea that I should check out come the Summer. Later in the day I was of course on the bike when it rained hard. Has happened pretty much every day for the last few weeks now.

The old tree is as always a slow starter and isn't going green just yet. But the fields on both sides of the path are much greener than a few weeks ago.

It was a very cold weekend. And rainy. I could probably keep complaining but let's leave leave it there. I did manage to get one or two fine photos and this is one of them. A young girl out horse-back riding at the old tree.

It was a bit windy today. Not very warm, maybe 11C when the sun was out. Arriving to the old tree I noticed heavy rain clouds in the distant and they made for a dramatic sky. I only had the 85mm lens with me so this is umpteen (38), photos stitched together.

The horrible Spring weather continues. As I'm typing this it is 6C and it looks like it will rain on and off for a while. Yesterday when I took the Steel Horse over to the old tree it was overcast and windy, not surprisingly I was all alone at the tree. Thursday, March 27, 2014
I have never experienced stronger headwind than I did yesterday on my way to the old tree. It was brutal. I stood up on the bike and pedalled for all I had and hardly moved forward at all. It was only 5C so it felt like a winter day. This is my 371th photo of the Swedish Whitebeam.

One week ago the sun was shining from a clear blue sky. It was 12C and I took several bike rides in the Spring weather. Not going to happen this week.
