BLUE MOSAIC MONDAY: The Blues of October...

...and I will try to pick some Swedish views to show you of the colourful fall from theSouthern parts of Sweden: the blue seacoast of Österlen with a beach filled with coloured, soft stones, a Swedish lakelandscape, the Swedish forest and a mosaic made by apples down in the habour of Kivik.

Blues for Blue Monday and Smiling Sally...

...is my  new turquise blue bicycle with the blueblooming ding-dong bikebell, the blueblooming teakettle and look how dearly blue my Ipomea is!

To see more of the blues, you can visit Sally HERE.

 

Judith with her LAVENDER COTTAGE, is the hostess of making and showing photomosaic every Monday.

Go HERE to see some of them,...

...and here is my photomosaic of my colourful flower and harvestarrangements...

...and then I will end my blogpost with my story of how I bought me an artichoke and put it on my table in our conservatory together with my passifloras, and see how the fruit developed to a lilac flower!

And the Monday turned to Tuesday...
Happy new week!

BLUE MOSAIC Blues.

Blue skies, blue clouds by the blue summer sea.

Remarkable blue clour of the larkspur in our garden...

...together with the blue-and -yellow- coloured irises and blue lavender...

And the lovely blueish rose is a 'Lavendar Ice' , a new one in our garden.

And the blues this BLUE MONDAY is that I have removed  the blueshaded polish from my nails, because my summerholiday is over, and this Monday is my first day - or  an eveningpart - back on my job again.

To feel more of the blues this Monday go to SALLY.

But the joy and the hapiness of my holiday I will share in some mosaics together with JUDITH.

I have visited some lovely different gardens...

...without or with my gardenhats with different flowers for different occasions.

I have arranged flowers from our garden in different ways, and of course, I will not stop though my holiday is over.And I will not stop to show them!

Our roses are still blooming, and I will rejoice them until the last one will die for the cold winter.

More mosaic you will find HERE.

HAPPY BLUE MOSAIC MONDAY (oh...it turned to Tuesday....)

&

Have a Happy week!

My blue garden hat, and a charming young man in his blue one.

He has designed a blue lightning bag - you can see its blue light in the dark picture.

The blue Erik Höglund vase with peonies behind the photo from 21 years ago - the couple and the little son, it is the same as the handsome one in the hat.

And my bluesy pansies growing wild - I love them.

BLUE MOSAIC MONDAY: My moodboard for May...

...is made by small, blue beauties from my garden : woodanemones, a blue Balkan anemone, blue pansies with their cousin : a bluespotted violet; a blue 'Anemone coronaria',  different kinds of  blue grapehyacints,  blue forget-me-nots and their lookalikes: 'Brunnera macrophylla'.

Small blue beuties together. The small bluespootted violet is called "Freeckles" - a charming kind of  a violet, I think.
And look how woodanemones can change to different ways: a blue kind,...

...and this double white one with a blue eye, and of coures it's name is "Baby Blue Eyes"- a rather new flower in my garden.

This was my blues for this Blue Monday, and if you will feel and see more of it, go to Smiling Sally.

Fact is that my Blue Moodboard for May has turn to pink, as the Japanese Cherry Blossom treein these last days has shown its besutiful pink flowers.

Every month I try to pick some flowers from my garden to make a moodboard of  the month, and another blogger making moodboards is Annelie. 

 Judith with Lavender cottage showing this Mosaic Monday her signs of spring...

...and here are some of mine.

To see more mosaics go HERE.

Happy Blue Monday&

And have a Nice week!

BLUE MOSAIC MONDAY:My blues of today...

...is filled with fragrances of spring from violets, pansies, primroses( a blueviolet kind of primroses of course!)Balkan anemones, a bluelilac hyacinth, bluelilac'Corydalis', 'Brunnera macrophylla', grape hyacinths, 'Scilla siberica' and 'Puschkinia scilloides', all together in my English blue patterned chinabowl.

These first flowers of the year are maybe the prettiest, are'nt they?

And as the bluelilac hyacinth has too strong fragrance to be on our table, I put it in the mini watering can at my veranda together with other flowers and things there.

I change my blues to white...

Last days the temperatures getting warmer and in the Swedish forest you can see these lovely whites: wood anemones - 'Anemone nemorosa'. 

In Sweden we have "The Right of Public Acess",("Allemansrätten") a right to visit forests and nature, but there are also some duties, as not throw garbage in the nature and not pick protected flowers and plants.

The wood anemones are not protected, as these...

...blue ones: hepaticas, which are protected in my part of Sweden, and You are not allowed to pick or cut flowers or dug plants of them.(You can buy cultivated plants of them in the plantshops.)

But it is free to enjoy them growing in the ground in springtime!

As the wood anemones are free to pick in the wild, I filled my hand with them, and took them back home to my Japanese cup.

The big white wood-anemones-look-a-like-flowers are species of a clematis, maybe not the best clematis for my climate, but in a pot now in spring and summer, and inside when the cold is coming back. 

Its Monday again and a Blue one, and too feel the blues, go and visit Smiling Sally...

 ...and if You will enjoy more mosaics, You can visit Judith in her Lavender Cottage.

HAPPY BLUE MONDAY&
have a nice week!

BLUE MOSAIC MONDAY: I fell in love...

...when I found this blue charming China lion HERE in an antiqueshop in Sweden and as it stole a place in my heart, I have to give it a place on my bookshelfe...

...and it also reminds me of Yangtorp, an oriental building in Southern parts of Sweden ( read more HERE).

And look - here is some blues too, in the blue templetower.

Outside the large templedoor  you can see two  Chinese guardian lions - often called Foo Dogs - and they have a dangerous look, haven't they?(Read more of Foo Dogs HERE.)

Not as my sweet little blue one, who have a more kindly look... 

It is Monday, and...

...if you will find more of this Monday Blues, go to SMILING SALLY.

MARY with the Little Red House showing as some mosaics from the end of this summer.and go HERE to see more mosaics.
Half August is gone of this lovely Summer and I will show some of the flowering lilies...

...from our garden.
It's getting darker in the evenings, but still - the summer is not over yet!

Rejoice in your garden!

Happy BLUE MOSAIC MONDAY!
