Storing up on sunshine

October 6, 2013

in Living in Sweden

Stockholm The trees on the island of LĂĄngholmen are turning all sorts of shades of red, orange and yellow, creating a glorious patchwork of color.

 

Stockholm Just across the water on Kungsholmen, the trees are more of a golden yellow.

 

On the weekends, I am trying to cram in as much time outside as the weather and daylight will allow. Both yesterday and today, Robert and I went out for long walks around the city. (Yesterday, it was in between rain showers.)

Just like the Swedes, I suppose I am storing up the sunshine for winter. But besides that, it’s really gorgeous right now in Stockholm–even, I suppose, when it’s raining. The leaves are starting to turn all these gorgeous shades of reds, yellows and oranges and in contrast to the still-green grass and some trees, the effect is brilliant.

 

Stockholm The red vines on Stadshuset are amazingly colorful right now.

Pretty! I can’t wait for the leaves to start changing here. I love autumn.

Is it hard living in Sweden in the winter?
