Today I hiked to the peak of Lill-Skarven (1224 m). It was promising to be a relatively easy and quick hike, except that if you park your car by the road 84 in Tänndalen, the entire hike is uphill from there to the peak. The only places where it levelled off at all was when…

I’ve been in desperate need of a vacation, and now I finally have it – one week in the mountains in the autumn colours is just what the doctor ordered. In preparation of the vacation, I had been studying the maps quite intensively. After all these years, I’m still finding new things, like this oddly…

I think that summer just started for me. It’s green everywhere, the sunshine was warm today and I was attacked by swarms of mosquitoes in the forest. The day was so good that I’m not even complaining about the bites! I drove back to the calypso orchids. There were in full bloom now, but I also found…

We’ve got plenty of the roe deer around here but they’re really shy, so I can just forget about approaching them in full sight, they’ll be long gone before I get to photographing distance. I’ve only really had one reasonably good opportunity to photograph them, that was over two years ago. Since then I’ve of…

It wasn’t quite as cold as yesterday and towards the afternoon the temperatures had risen enough to make it quite comfortable, actually. But in the morning it was a different story though, and I only managed about half an hour photographing the birds before my fingers were frozen. I was dressed in double and triple…

Sunlight! What an amazing thing, clear skies in the morning, when has that happened? My bird restaurant is ideally located for the morning light (the reverse applies in the afternoon) so out I go, hoping that I could make use of the beautiful warm light. Since this is forest, the light moves around a lot…

Everybody’s favourite complaint these days is that the days are so short – the sun sets already at half past two so there really isn’t a lot of daylight. For such a short trip on the sky, the sun never gets very high either which means that the light isn’t exactly blinding even at noon.…

This belongs to the category not-so-nice. If you’re squeamish, don’t open the picture! When I was photographing the birds, I noticed this one great tit which had a head injury. Looks almost like someone did open brain surgery on it, flesh wounds and a swollen forehead. It was pecking away at the peanuts, seemingly not bothered…

I did warn you about posting a lot of bird pictures (and I didn’t promise that they’d be good, either). But today I’m trying to present some alternative poses so it’s not just the traditional bird on a stick all the time. I was actually very close to trashing the great tit picture because there’s…

I’ve no idea what’s going on. My cold is not getting any better, but thankfully it’s not getting any worse either. It’s one of those mild things I typically get, but now it’s been going for almost a week and that’s very un-typical. But I’ve had enough of sitting inside and abandoned my Star Trek…
