Doodeling in the Ocean

Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.
Peter Marshall

This small island is called Grinda, it has some rental cabins, a camping ground, two places to eat and one little shop/coffee place for boat tourists to stock up on frozen food and shampoo I guess. We went to a place called Backfickan, just on the water. I had a delicious hamburger, and then a coffee to go – because now it was time to explore…

Well, not explore really. Just walk around, snap photos, admire the swan family’s super cute kids , and to take a look at the beautiful fauna…

Love wild flowers! Though of course, what one really wants on an island, is to be close to the water.

Because it is not a big island, and we didn’t feel like hiking much, we soon found ourselves back at the waterfront. There we found a spot in the sunshine and sat down to do some art journaling.

I enjoyed the silence, but also the sound of the sea gulls and the waves against the rocks, while sipping my coffee…

I did a bit of doodling in my summer time spiral bound art journal. I’ll show you more soon.

After a couple of hours (while drinking lots of water and having another ice cream) the ferry picked us up and did the reverse tour back to Stockholm.

I have high hopes for more days like this one in my future. High hopes, and a big longing already. I hope you enjoyed following along to the Stockholm archipelago?
