Smultron

One of the best things with Summer. Smultron, and I have a secret smultronställe.

Smultron

The Smultron are here. Very yummy they are. Over here we all have our own secret smultronställe (Google that). You might know this berry as Wild Strawberry. Shot with the Tamron zoom lens using the macro feature. When I was a kid I used to stack them on grass straws. That would look like this.

Summer treats

It looked like a thunderstorm was quickly approaching Tungelsta so I walked up the hill at home to see from which direction it came. And while walking through the little forest I stumbled upon the first blueberries of the season. I had a quick look around and it looks like I will be serving a blueberry pie tonight. Possibly topped with smultron, or wild strawberries if you like. Just to make you a little hungry I have added what the pie will probably look like.

Smultron

Smultron. That's what we call the wild strawberries over here. Bigger photo. Bergman made a movie called Smultronstället. The meaning for that is that the sweet things in life grow wild. And if you find these berries don't tell anyone where they grow. It will be your secret, your Smultronställe. I know where to look for these. So just after I found them I ate them with my filmjölk for breakfast. Whenever that happens it means that summer is here for real. And here is a link to per spective!

Look what I found!

Wild Strawberries. Only 10 meters from my door. We call them Smultron. And Blueberries. Had to walk around 20 meters from my back door to find these. We call them Blåbär.
