I do love Sweden, even if I favor dry, desert landscapes the most. This is a green, wooded, and insanely natural country. So, 1 point to Sweden. But, my god, Spring creeps from miserable damp cling to sunny cool wonderful at an incredibly slow pace. This year to cheer myself during this transition I once again visited the Uppsala Botanical Gardens as soon as things started getting warm. Later, when the world outside the hothouse showed some soft new growth I started walking in parks. These pictures are from that period.
