I just learned that the constellation of Cygnus, or Swan, is sometimes also called the Northern Cross. Fair enough. Light on the trees was provided courtesy of an almost full moon.

Before anyone says that there’s not enough contrast, I would like to say that it was one of those un-contrasty days. A cold day after a warm one, so the landscape was covered in frost and fog. But I finally did some shooting with the Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro, not just this building (the Loosgruvan…

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…

I’ve been wondering how come I’m having to re-fill the bird feeder more often than usual… got an answer this morning. The new feeder I got last week isn’t nearly as squirrel proof as the other ones! This is a 50/50 feeder, half nuts and half hemp seeds. The hemp seed side has a very…

October – just waiting for the winter now. Got some great autumn colours early on, but a few blustery days in the middle took care of them. Got the first snow, lost the first snow… got some snow on the last day on the month, but will probably lose it on the first day of…

I know I’ve said this before, but I just love the bird feeder setup I have in front of the living room window. I sat down with the camera when the first birds arrived in the morning, and two and a half hours later I had 163 images. That has never, ever happened before! So,…

Now that winter is approaching, I have filled up my bird feeders to help out the little ones. There is already a lot of traffic and I have a first row seat from my living room window. Yesterday I was very happy to see the first crested tit to come for a visit, I have…

The temperatures have been cold enough to keep the snow we got on Thursday. Today is the coldest day yet, had 6 below in the morning and it has only crept up above freezing now in the afternoon. So on with all the winter clothes, and out to play in the (little) snow… and yes,…

Not counting the few snowflakes we got in September, today we got our first snow. Looks like most of the snow fell before the weather front got to us, but there’s enough to cover the ground with the white stuff so this absolutely qualifies. It will disappear soon but that’s to be expected at this…
