Round-leaved wintergreen
I had another look at the round-leaved wintergreens I had dismissed as un-photographable yesterday. With some generous gardening - and by that I mean weeding - I was able to get a clean background so I guess you could call this destructive photography rather than creative, I feel kinda bad for doing that. I have make a bigger effort to learn to control the background clutter compositionally, rather than to remove it altogether. Anyway, I can now check off Pyrola rotundifolia from my “wanted” list, I just wish the grasses didn’t have to suffer for my art…
Cropped a little bit all around. And observe the light band of very OOF grass in the lower right corner, in spite of all the weeding.Weather - June 2007
June started off with a bang, with high summer temperatures. The period came to an abrupt end with a few days of rain - and the odd snowflake! No kidding. The rest of the month was rather dull, weatherwise, with temperatures between 10 and 20 degrees and hardly any rain at all. And speaking of it, rain is becoming a serious issue. Here in the northern Hälsingland region we can soon start talking about drought, while the southern Sweden is struggling with flooding. It’s a big old country.
