On New Year's Day in Sweden we went for e refreshing walk through a small village. The footpath took us not only past people's gardens, but through them. All was quiet and peaceful and I was hoping for some photo opportunities; beautiful houses and views, that sort of thing.
Then I caught sight of this snow-covered garden table with a couple of strange-looking bottles. They had been left out in the cold and had probably been standing there for some time.
What are they? I never examined them closely, did not lift them up or touch them at all. Is there a hole in the bottom where you put a candle of some sort? Can you remove the beautifully shaped cover? It looks like some cotton thread round the neck of the bottle. Or is it metal? If there is a candle involved, how do you light it?
Maybe it is something completely different? I don't know. What do you think?

Wasp or fly catchers? Not very romantic, but that's just what came to mind. :-)
I thought the same as Christina... but they are pretty. Your photos are really coming along in leaps and bounds. Well done.
Delightful with little hats. Perhaps they chime in the breeze...
Christina - But perhaps without the flies and the wasps one can be a little more romantic?!
Lynda - Thank you. Yeah, the prettiest little bottle hats I've ever seen! Somebody's gone to great lengths making them, I think.
LadyFi - I should have blown at them like Kung Bore to see if they did!
Those have got to be the very prettiest wasp catchers ever.....
Oreneta - Do they look that seductive? Perhaps some tempting aroma...aaah.
