The season is closing – last day of business at Djupdalsvallen! You better bet I was going there. This time on foot, I walked from Ramundberget in the hopes of finding some nice colours. Alas, the birches are very affected by the moth larvae, and with the cloud cover being what it was, the little…

I’ll never get tired of Ånnfjället. It doesn’t matter how many times I’m up there, but I always find something new. I’m not talking about summiting it every time, I mean the peak gets uninteresting really quickly. All you need is to get above the tree line, and the options are endless! My new favourite…

Well, guess what. Here I am again. Exhausted. And now it’s worse than ever before, I’ve had this weird thing all week. On Monday I was really tired, I mean more tired than after Njupeskär. Then on Tuesday, I felt an itch in my throat, which normally always means that I’m going to have a…

Wonderful news from the Crane Watch! The first chick has hatched! I felt really privileged as I was watching the crane family today. I almost didn’t want to leave because I would love to see the second chick hatch… but since I have no idea how far apart the chicks hatch, it could be a…

You have no idea how much I’ve missed hiking. Every day I see Ånnfjället from my window and I hear it calling me, so it was really almost a relief that I could finally put on my hiking boots and hit the trail. But before I got there, I drove by the crane nest to…

I’m back from Finland and I was anxious to see if the crane nest stayed afloat through the spring floods. When I got there, the crane was standing by the nest as if to show me the eggs! I really hope the water didn’t reach the eggs so the chicks are still developing. Stay tuned to…

When it rains, it pours. It rained non-stop yesterday and water levels are now up to flood levels, although Ljusnan is still not as high as it was last year on 24 May. I can still see the top of the rock which was completely under water last year. It looks like the smaller waterways are…

I made brief visits here and there to check how the spring is coming along. Here in Ljusnedal the snow is almost gone, there are just some small patches in the forest but that’s about it. But as soon as I drove up to Hållan, it was very different – there was so much snow…

I hope you’re not getting tired of swan pictures yet… I’m not! Yesterday I took the Mega-Tamron to Tevsjön, which is still mostly covered in ice, but with a few open patches (in fact, some parts of the lake almost didn’t freeze at all in the winter). So naturally the waterfowl use the lake as a resting…

The migratory birds like the golf course in the spring, so I do my evening promenades there with the Mega-Tamron as company. There’s not a lot of action as yet, I’ve seen some occasional cranes there but yesterday I only heard them in the distance. What I did get instead was three swans on the…
