First butterfly of the year

This orange tip butterfly was the first butterfly to appear in our garden this year. I went chasing round the garden after it (good exercise for me!) until it finally came to rest for a while on a dying daffodil head.

Nature calls

Björkvik, Sweden.

This is where the kayak trip started. Beautiful, yes? About 100 yards from here, I saw an unusual waterfowl but couldn’t get close enough for a good picture. I think it was a Skäggdopping, a Great Crested Grebe.

This bay is sheltered from the wind but as you kayak around the island in the background (actually, it’s not quite an island since there’s a narrow strip of land that connects it to the mainland) the wind can be quite strong. I kayaked in wind waves about 2 feet high.

Kayaking in the Stockholm archipelago is a wonderful hobby. I hope to return there someday and take a multi-day tour.
