I decided that you probably wanted to see how the old tree was doing this summer. As I took my 248th photo of the Swedish Whitebeam, Josefin came riding up the path on the horse Mulstasvarten. Her family has owned the Mulsta Farm in Tungelsta (including the land surrounding the old tree), for three hundred years. As you can expect from a girl that has grown up at a horse farm, horses are her big hobby. But not just horseback riding. Josefin turned fifteen a while back and is now working hard to get her harness racing licence. When she gets it she will be able to compete in the Youth League. Back in March I met one of her horseback riding friends Anna-Carin not far from here. And on a sunny summer evening last year I met a few other people from her family at the old tree.
un jolie portrait de cette belle damoiselle, et la deuxieme photo est magnifique
ReplyDeleteGlad to have a summer view of the old tree.
ReplyDeletethe tree looks glorious in her summer finery.
ReplyDeleteShe's a very kind, gentle looking horse lover! Be sure to photograph her again if she becomes a horse carriage racer!
ReplyDeleteGlad onsdag, Steffe
ooww, i was just thinking about your tree while in the subway..! good to see it, so pretty with all the hay-balen (the latter word is dutch as i dont know the english!)
ReplyDeleteand the girl looks cute...
An interesting story. The tree looks good and healthy this summer.
ReplyDeleteThat old tree looks like it is doing just fine Steffe and your young horse rider is just lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI like the contrast between the young girl (a fresh flower) and the old tree!Both are looking great.
ReplyDeleteLooks like quite a crop of hay is ready for the barn.
ReplyDeleteI like the summer view of the tree. Everything is so full and green! The tall grass is nice too.
ReplyDeleteYes we love catching up on the old tree. She's looking very grand.
ReplyDeleteJosefin is a beautiful young woman and of course it's always fun to see the old tree!
ReplyDeleteThe tree looks good and healthy! is that hay wrapped in plastic?
ReplyDeleteHer portrait is lovely but that bottom shot with her riding on the curved road is a show stopper as well!
