A photo on a Cow Parsley I took a few years ago. I don't know why I haven't posted this until now. The photo was for a long time used as my desktop background.

I shot the picture using the macro mode on my old camera.

Close-up on detail.

This years project to enrich my balcony with flowers has started with the least likely candidate, Wallflower. The flower that I failed to cultivate last year and said I wasn't going to try again. I decided to try cultivate them again because I still had a few seed left and I noticed that they could be cultivated as early as February. Might as well start of the project with a new try. This year I'm trying to cultivate them exactly as told by the instruction on the seed bag. Placing them on top of moist soil instead of starting them of on moist toilet paper.

This year I also decided to try using recycled materials from home instead of buying new peat pots. Both for personal economical reason and ecological reasons. Above I have converted two milk cardboard boxes into two pots for four small flowers each.

A cute European Robin that I photographed through my parents' kitchen windows.

I have a few more photographs on birds I want to post, but I don't know when I will have the time. Hopefully soon.

While in Cambodia and visiting the Angkor Wat temple I also visited other places. One of those places were a place simply called "The Tree Temple". It is not a temple for worshiping tree, but a temple that has been overgrown by huge trees. Once the whole temple was overgrown, but most of it has been cleared away. The trees that are left, can't be removed because they are helping the temple to stay together. It was a very interesting place to visit. The trees and their roots were massive. The biggest flaw of the place is that it is filled with tourist and I had to wait a while for each photo opportunity. (And as with all the other Cambodia pictures, they were shoot with my old camera.)

I just wanted to quickly say that this winter I have lost four of my plants. My two Poinsettias and two Benjamin's Figs. As usually not sure why, but it is probably my fault somehow. I'll probably not buy a new Poinsettia until next Christmas, but a new Benjamin's Fig I will buy as soon as I find a new potential bonsai.

A quick blog post with a picture on the church in Snöstrop. Someday I want to make a post with more photographs and information about the church.
