little red riding hood

I finally got around to photographing my new jacket, sent to me by Sophia over at Skie Pies, in a real Swedish setting! Granted, I saw woods here that were about a hundred times more stunning than this one, but this was only a two minute walk from the house. I did get a few weird looks from the locals as I was strutting past with my tripod and red lipstick on, but okay. I'm leaving for Denmark tomorrow and I'm a bit sad to leave this amazing country. For people who are Swedish, my gushy love for their country must sound a bit overdone - I'm always a bit suspicious when tourists declare their undying love for the Netherlands, mostly because their love seems to be based solely on the idea that Holland is an utterly free country filled with slutty girls, pot and tulips, which is quite untrue - but the combination of the gorgeous nature (with "watch out for reindeers/mooses/deer/boars"-signs every few miles on the side of the road - I even saw a perfect Bambi crossing the road yesterday, which you never get to see where I live, so I found it quite magical), the beautiful Pippi-houses at every step, and the awesome cities with lots of stores that can make me do little dances, and the oh-so cute language (which I'll hopefully do a minor in at University sometime!) makes it seem like Sweden is tailor-made for me.
