Forest on the left 🌲, lake on the right 🌊, and me in the middle! Sunday noon stroll near Växjö, keeping an eye out for mythical creatures (spoiler: just squirrels)

BUT! It ended in the most glorious tea brunch EVER! ☕✨ Scones? Oh, you bet! Earl Grey? Naturally! 😋 Honestly, the perfect end to a woodland wander. 🍰💖

22. Reflections by the Balcony

The rain fell in gentle, rhythmic droplets against the glass panes of my small, enclosed balcony. I had always loved this time of year, when the vibrant greens of summer slowly gave way to the rich…
