Adrift...

... in poetry

A left hook!

Love at first sight or territorial rivalry?!

Here today

Chinese mists

Pastel blues on our way to Kleivvatnet for an afternoon of berry-picking, lounging and - yes, of course - swimming!

Water colours

I couldn't have painted it better myself!
My GoPro broke down during yesterday's swim, however, and I'll never know what pics I've lost :(

Røbekk kirk

Where were you, Viking, on this perfect day for swimming across?!

Indian summer

I swam on my way home after class today: from the sailing school to the Retiro badepark and back. A perfect swim :) 

Nå bles det nordavind fra alle kanter

The wind is picking up over the fjord tonight as a gale batters Bjørnsund. I swam in the company of an eagle today - the perk of not obsessing about lion's manes!

Pigs in the garden of Eden

It seems the word "Eden" may be related to an Aramaic word meaning "fruitful, well-watered": a perfect description of my orchard bay!  Am chuckling over my mother-in-laws reaction to my dream of swimming across the fjord: "Ah well, there are many ways to kill a pig"!!!!

Brennmanet and blind spots

Too busy looking out for brennmanet (Lion's mane jellyfish), of which I saw three, to enjoy this eye-candy! 

Mer regn (more rain)!

BBQ and landing lights last Thursday. The Viking has landed from Bjørnsund, where a storm raged all week. Hoping to borrow a rowboat and strike out for a longer swim this weekend.
