i open the door, and this is what i see.
i step outside.
i climb the stairs, and am greeted by the number one enemy of our country's flora (and agriculture); the iberia forest slug (brown slug, killer slug). not native, and therefore, no natural enemies. they're everywhere, and they eat everything.
further up the stairs, a more pleasant greeting.
and right across the narrow street - our sweet neighbour's house. which, admittedly, i would rather live in. (shh - don't tell my house. she's old and fragile i might just collapse (literally!) under the weight of such unfriendly utterings.)
i turn to my old and worn house, walk back down the stairs.
(that's a pretty weird shot, isn't it? if you didn't know there was a door, i mean.)
ah, yes. if you want to see how my city looks like from a mountain top (not the highest, though), go here.
beautiful pics!

ReplyDeleteSo lush and beautiful! I never thought I'd see the day when I was happy to see slugs again, but here I am. Thrilled by the sight. I do believe our cities are sisters. Makes me happy :-)

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous post! I love it, I love all your photos. About the slugs: they really eat everything! My parents used to grow some veggies in their garden but the slugs would eat most of them.

Fin lesning en sein kveld rett før senga :) Liker godt å stikke innom bloggen din - god lesning og fine fotos! Biter meg også merke i din utmerkede musikksmak he he, likner på min :D
ReplyDeleteGod natt!
Great pictures, sorry about the snails. I have been told that if you put beer in a pie tin and make it level with the ground snails will go in but not come out. Might be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, I love your blog. I's on my list! I'll sure come back.
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos! and i love those reflections on the window:)
ReplyDeleteLovely. Amazing city shot as well.
ReplyDeleteBjørgvin Marknad 5.-7. juni..kommer dere?
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. What a BIG slug, I have no doubt that they could do a lot of damage.
ReplyDeleteYour house looks as though it has character, ugh we live in a house built in the 70's...not attractive! However we love the yard, so I'm not complaining!
Lisa :)

Vakkert! Så frodig og fint, og bildene dine er så klare og kunstneriske. Ikke slik vanlig a4 liksom ;)
