Påske i Sørlandsbyen

Det er påskestemning en tidlig morgenstund i Sørlandsbyen.

Lillesands Øvregate er en pittoresk, stille gate i en helt typisk sørlandsstil med små hvite hus og kunstneriske innslag. Her råder ikke det stressende hverdagslivet.

After a walk in the Zoo

After a walk in the Zoo I wanted to sit down for a rest in our little towns park .

 And there was this welcome committee.

 We are looking for some crumbs, do you have any, mate?

 Yes, in fact I have some left from the pizza that I thought you would like.

 And us, what about us? Some mate.
And then, I was almost alone

Look at this little one. Haven't seen him before.

The lazy Tigers in the Zoo

Where is a better place to take a walk in the park than in the zoo. It's easy  to walk 5 km when looking for the different animals that you "know" so well through the years. On a hot day like this, the Siberian Tigers just like to rest or move as little as possible.

 And galavanting around we found this proud one screaming out for company.

SkyWatch 24. May 2013

It has been a beautiful sunny day.

 Before the summer vacation starts, Lillesand is a quiet town with white houses and some vintage cars

On a little hill above town is a beautiful recreation area

 It's small roads

 for people and animals.

Some prefer the water even if it's cold.

 It's also a beautiful view over the town.

Postman Pat in real life

 Here is Norway's new "Postman Pat" car. Electric and Norwegian built.

It's actually one of the first times it's used. It's one car in Lillesand and one in Lillehammer.

To drive this car one needs an ordinary drivers license.

Snow Watch 16. March

The Spring has sprung. Yes, it was. Today we are back in the Winter mood. We know it wont last for long, but we changed back to boots to tackle snow covering slippery ice.

On my way to our weekly cafè rendez-vous I noticed the change of scenery.

 

The snow had made thick cushions on the cafè chairs .

 I brought my "Latte" back in remembering an earlier post from France.

The clear sky over what we believe is Lillesands oldest standing house from 1724.
Today named as Sandra Svendsen's house.

The house is in desperate need of TLC when someone finds the money.

The weather is just sunny and totally clear.

 And passing by I spotted the sailboat coming in by sails.

 A perfect motiv for painting on a grey day.

 30 sec later the anchor was out and the sail was down.

Even if one can get a hint of Spring by wishful thinking

we are constantly reminded by the reality of Winter.

Through one of the really narrow passages we can walk to the seaside.

Grey and cold it could be rather depressing,

  but armed with bread crumbs our small friends gratefully appears in an instant.
