Yellow and blue are fitting colours on a day such as this one. It's the Swedish national day, marking the anniversary of Gustaf Vasa's coronation as well as the 1809 constitution. Until 1983 it was called "Svenska flaggans dag" (Day of the Swedish flag), and since 2005 it has been a national holiday. Since the holiday as such is so young, it's clear that many Swedes don't know what to do with it and we have no real traditions when celebrating it, but for our family it has been a wonderfully sunny and warm day, which we have spent primarily in the garden and with driving lessons for our oldest son.

I've also taken a bunch of photos today, of which the above is one. Yellow and blue, like the Swedish flag.
