Welcome to this bilingual (Swedish-English) group blog by family members living on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, "the pond". Our interests range from the scientific to the eclectic, including gourmet food, horses, art and literature, computers, species in nature, history and iron, and photography. Three generations are posting here.
"Knipa" and "Skarv" - those Swedish names are really funny when you think of it. One means to sqeeze, and the other is the word for a joint (like a wood joint, not what you smoke).
As I said when we were at the Norwegian bird mountain Runde in the 80's (untranslatable): "När det regnar går skarvarna upp i limningen."
