Well, I just got a film that I've been carrying around for some time developped onto CD, and here are a few:

A 'normal' sized mannequin that attracted quite some attention, positioned in Åhléns, a big store in Stockholm:

Spring!

And the 'spring onion' I told Hyp and others about (a red onion that I forgot to put away and left on a table and that suddenly started sprouting green leaves when hit by early spring sun):

Cool fountain that looks sort of like a dandelion once it has turned all white and fluffy
Against the light of the rising sun:

With the sun in my back (see the rainbow?):

Inspired by a book about gardening in small spaces, I planted some tomato seeds in a flowerbox on my balcony - due to a very cloudy and rainy summer, the tomatoes seem to take their time ripening - but look at the size of those plants!
It's the very first time I've every tried growing vegetables of any kind!

And there *are* some tomatoes, even if they are still rather small and green:

And the reason I'm going all over the tomatoes is because I didn't think I had it in me - indoors I only have very hardy house plants, because I forget to water them on a regular basis... Now, the tomatoes won't take that, they'll start drooping right away once they're dried up

WooHoo! Great photos. You'll have to take another one of the tomatoes when they ripen.

Well, I'm glad you liked the coltsfoot one, Santra - because I almost (but not quite) risked my life taking that photo, I'll have you know!
See that blue background? It's water.
See how steep that cliff is? I'm not tilting the camera, I swear - just look at the flowers - most of them are growing straight up.
And I haven't got *that* good a zoom on my by now quite old Pentax Espio - I had to crouch quite close to the flowers to take the photo, trying to maintain my balance while taking the photo. That's the reason why it's slightly out of focus - I was quite busy trying not to fall into the water!

Well - OK, I didn't. But it's still nice
