ABC - L


New week - new ABC challenge: The letter L
(kommenter gjerne på norsk, svensk eller dansk)
Since my Blog is written in a kind of English, I've given me a double challenge: The objects must begin with the same letter or sound in both Norwegian and English.
How about that? Do you take the challenge?

Click on the links. Something to learn. Just take your time.

“L” is the letter that represents action. The person with this letter in their name is a self-starter. Motivated and energetic, they are able to work in groups or alone. Read more....

Ok, ready for more words/objects beginning with samme Letter in English and Norwegian?
Prolog:
I dedicate this post to my very good bloggerfriend Mrs Lifecruiser .
You must visit.

Let's start with something very typical during Spring in Norway.

Lily of the Valley - Liljekonvall. The smell is heavenly and was former very popular as parfume. However, all parts, including the berries, of the Lily of the Valley are highly poisonous. Roughly 38 different cardiac glycosides (cardenolides) have been found in the plant.

Here you see two Lamas - (Lama - lama orginates from Llama) in Andes Landscape - landskap at the Puna in NW Argentina. Here is the New Llama Song
Here you see hundreds of Lightbulps - lyspærer (Light - lys) in Tivoli, Copenhagen.

My regular readers do know we love Cats. Ours have very short tails, here you see one with a very Long - Lang tail

L for Luxery - luksus. Here you see a Luxery Easter Egg in a shop window in Düsseldorf, Germany.

In our Family we are used to have Lively - livlige moments. As here, during our first meeting with our daughters fabulous Family in Germany.

I think I have to end this post and do it Landing - landing. Taken from the inflight before landing at Oslo International Airport. Here you can see the Landscape surrounding our Summerhome. Lot's of Life - liv down there.
