Scandinavia as a region has few endemic species, thanks to its history of being recently glaciated. One of these endemics is Arabidopsis suecica Swedish Rock-Cress, particular to Sweden as its specific epithet suggests. It is slowly extending its range out from its initial core areas in Sweden and has crossed the border to Norway. Being little competitive, it typically thrives on open sandy soils along railway embankments and road verges. As I'm now live quite close to the Swedish border, A. suecica is one of the earlier spring flowers around here. Still a rarity in the district, but I know about its hiding places

Edible?

Edible?

I doubt this. Too many spiny bristle hairs on the foliage.

Thank you
Its wheat like but it’s not, it’s smaller and it grows by itself anywhere, it was a little wind and waiving but not a storm
It’s 23 Celsius and some people start swiming

First shots with the Nikkor 500mm f/5.6 PF:

Yesterday sundown, view from my room of the Jura

I didn't notice significant flare, which is often blamed on Fresnel optics.

Amazing capture, Christian!

Frank, the rendition looks soooooo delicate!

thank you. The 20.000 ISO of the D500 is astounding, possibly similar to 200.000 of the Z6, which I hope to try soon

[MFloyd]

Amazing capture, Christian!

Thank ou Akira San  . I was just peeping out of the window, and for a few minutes (4') there were some beautiful opportunities.

Nice Akira.   

How is that MS editor?  Better than the CC-application?

Meet José. The biggest fan. This guy goes by daily to the statue of "Camarón", a famous flamenco singer. He wanted me to take a picture of him -and dog- with the monument.
