The brimstone is a fairly large, pale yellow butterfly, with distinctive, leaf-shaped wings. Adults hibernate through cold weather, so may be seen flying on warm days throughout the year, although they are most common in the spring. Usually seen in ones or twos, they are never very common, but are widespread. They can be found in damp woodlands, along sunny, woodland rides and mature hedgerows, and in large gardens. The foodplants of the larvae are buckthorn and alder buckthorn. Both shrubs are found in wet woodland, while buckthorn also occurs on dry chalk and limestone soils.

Je cherchais Maya partout et soudain j'ai vu apparaître ses 2 petites oreilles, elle était sous mon duvet, je n'ai pu résister à la prendre en photo ;-)
Aujourd'hui elle a fini sa 2ème série de 10 jours d'antibiotiques alléluia !
Pour le moment elle va bien, elle joue et mange bien, pourvu que cela dure, croisons les doigts.
I was looking for Maya everywhere and suddenly I saw her 2 little ears appear, she was under my duvet, I couldn't resist taking a picture of her ;-)

The eastern garter snake has a wide range across eastern North America, as far north as southern Ontario and Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico in the south, along the eastern shores of America to the Mississippi River.
The eastern garter snake will live in a variety of environments, with a preference for grassy or shrubby fields, including abandoned farmland, outbuildings and trash dumps. In particular the snake likes to inhabit stone walls that separate the forest from fields. It is also found along moist habitats such as lakes, rivers, streams, swamps, bogs, ponds, drainage ditches, and quarries. Snakes are present in urban environments in habitats that include "city parks, cemeteries and suburban yards and gardens". Eastern garter snakes like to conceal themselves under logs, stones and other debris that allow them to bask in the sunlight and quickly seek refuge from predators.
Eastern garter snakes mostly eat toads, frogs, slugs, and worms, but they will eat almost anything they can overpower. The eastern garter snake is broadly considered non-venomous. (Wikipedia)

This snake was enjoying the sun in early spring. It was probably just recently out of hibernation and was looking for food and warmth. It watched me for a while as I struggled to get a photo with the wrong lens, and then finally left me to my own devices. I ended up with two good shots from this encounter.

Nature has undoubtedly mastered the art of winter gardening and even the most experienced gardener can learn from the unrestrained beauty around them.

Now the heat has come and insects and plants are popping up and creating life after a cold winter and spring.
A slightly dazed small tortoiseshell has just come out of hibernation and is enjoying the spring sun.
Modesty, detachment, helplessness, numbness. Wanting to hibernate underwater and let go. No strength to fight the tide.
Cleo's Flickr friends already know that she hibernates in the basement, it's a habit she assumed years ago, probably because it's quiet and peaceful there and no other cats bother her. The camera doesn't bother her there either because it's too dark for photos. She rarely breaks this habit but today was apparently one of these days as she moved into a wicker basket cat cave in my bedroom instead. Cleo wasn't pleased when I found her and even less when I pointed the camera at her but you never know when you'll get another chance. I blamed her Flickr friends who want to see a photo of her occasionally. :)

This ice covered truck actually is not fitting to the kind of photos I'm usually post here. But is shows perfectly the conditions I have found here in North Sweden.
Dieser vereiste LKW passt eigentlich nicht unbedingt zu den Bildern, die ich normalerweise veröffentliche. Er zeigt jedoch perfekt die Bedingungen, die ich im Norden von Schweden vorgefunden habe.
