Crescent moon

Cycling home on Thursday afternoon in the pitch dark, I stopped on the bike path at the 700-year-old Nedersta farm for a photo of the moon over the trees. And then a couple of minutes later I stopped on another bike path close to the preschool Lilla Lillgården at Stav in Tunelsta for a another moon photo.

Rapsfält

A blooming canola field. Photographed from the bike path at Nedersta yesterday afternoon. Belongs to the Nedersta Gård that dates back around 700 years. You have met the current farmer here on the blog a number of years ago, and I have shown you countless views from the farm. Oh, and the bridge to the right is Krigslidabron.

Mother moose and calves

Cycling home yesterday, I spotted a moose family on a field belonging to Nedersta gård. I shot this from the bike path, I didn't want to scare them away. The cow had her eyes on a man at the other side of the field.

Hay bale

That time of the year again.

Sommaräng

Swedish word of the day. Sommaräng. Summer Meadow. This was a wheat field in 2018 and 2017. The year before that they had canola here. This year they left everything for the insects. A field at Nedersta Gård.

Blooming flax field

The Black Sheep

There's a new black sheep at the Nödesta farm. And it turns out that it is a very sociable sheep. I only had time to jump off the bike and take two photos before it ran towards me as happy as I have ever seen a sheep. Unfortunately my camera malfunctioned mid-shoot so I only got a couple of snaps. Luckily for me it is close to home so I will be sure to drop in again for more photos of the black sheep Bää.

Vårplöjning

Swedish word of the day. Vårplöjning. Spring plowing at Nödesta Västergård at Nedersta. Try this link to see a few hundred photos from around the farm.

The Red Stable

A photo from my walk around Tungelsta two days ago. Much of the recent snow had melted but a sudden change in the weather had turned the landscape white again, this time with the help of the frost that covered everything. This is the little red stable at Nödesta Västergård that I tend to photograph every now and then. To see all the all photos of the stable feel free to press here.

Le quattro stagioni

That is the name of this new residential area next to the Nödesta farm in Västerhaninge. In Swedish it is called De fyra årstiderna.

The Magnificent Tree

Two photos of the magnificent tree. Taken just a few days apart. The tree used to stand next to a two Century old barn at the Nödesta farm, but a lot of snow and neglect helped that barn to collapse a few cold Winters ago.

Surrounded By Flowers

Out on a walk near the old tree a couple of warm days ago I noticed a Roe Deer munching away at a field filled with ox-eye daisies.

Traffic Sign

Narrow road sign. Or in Swedish. Varning för avsmalnande väg. At Stabergsvägen at the Nödesta farm. Had I panned the camera to the right you would have seen yesterdays view.

The Magnificent Tree

The magnificent tree on a not so magnificent Winter day in January. There used to be a barn here at the Nödesta farm next to the tree. It was 150 years old and I enjoyed seeing and photographing it on my walks in the area, sadly it collapsed a few winters ago and if you have a good memory you might remember seeing the photos of that.

The old Smithy

No new photos to show you as I'm still in bed with the flu. This is a photo, taken with my new zoom lens from a few days ago. It shows the old smithy at the 700-year old fsarm Nödesta Västergård.

Animals On The Farm

Biking past Nödesta Västergård I stopped for a few photos of the animals in the pasture.

Hello Deer

Roe Deer in a wheat field at Nödesta. Her kid was next to her. They stood there for a while before jumping away.

Wagon dumped in the stream

The old barn at Nödesta, known locally as Guatemala collapsed a few Winters ago. It was around 200 years old. I liked the old barn and I have taken a few photos of it over the years. The farmer Janne, didn't own the land and the municipality didn't want to help him out with the old buildings, so it had to happen I guess. A company called Rivners removed what was left of the barn a couple of years later, but they left the stuff that had been left inside the barn. Then, last year Janne bought the farm from the municipality, but that doesn't really explain why he decided to dump one of the wagons in the nearby stream.

Ski season cancelled

Spotted a skier here a while back. But that was then and this is now. A field at Nödesta Västegård.

Canola Harvest

It seems a long time ago already, but it was just over two months ago that I showed you a blooming canola field at the Nödesta Västergård. Biking past the farm two days ago I noticed that the farmer was out with the combine harvester at that field so I stopped for a photo.
