Picnic by the lake

Listen to little birdie's station

In Tyresta National Park and Nature Reserves near Stockholm, there are several lakes.

Now it's difficult to select only a few pictures, because I took many beautiful ones...

This was the first lake we saw, still on the way to our picnic place:






This one was relatively close to the bus stop and parking lot, but we chose the longer way to another lake, about 4 kilometres away, but it took more than an hour to get there, because of me clicking my little machine all the time... :-)

After I have had only one small sandwich that day and it was already 4 o'clock, a warm day, hiking in also slightly rocky places, it was soooooo wonderful to sit down by the lake, kick off the shoes, tip our feet in the water (now it was fantastic, and not painful cold like here), then have a huge sandwich and some nice salad.

It was just perfect: nice temperature (22 degrees), no noise but birds, wind and water and nobody else around. We even had a little nap: my hubby was sleeping for a whole hour. I woke up earlier and, again, started to click around...





Typical summer clouds:
