We got some real snow this week – not nearly as much as SMHI was forecasting, but enough to cover the landscape in a white coat and enough for the ski tracks. I’ll wait until my achy breaky back stops twinging before I get on the skis though, today I settled for a walk through the winter forest.
I finally caught a jay on sensor. I only managed two shots before it flew off, clearly bothered by the sound of the shutter. The squirrels on the other hand are not too bothered, in fact they seem get more tolerant of me and I can come within few meters before they finally run off. There were no less than three squirrels fighting over the sunflower seeds today, it was very entertaining to watch them chase each other up and down the trees. I even witnessed a squirrel falling down a tree – I thought it never happens… it landed in the soft snow and was back up the tree as fast as a lightning. In a squirrel fight, there’s always a loser so this one poor guy spent a while contemplating its fate and giving me a chance to play with light. One squirrel’s loss is one photographer’s gain…
