Flowers, give me flowers! I went to my favourite daphne spot to see if the flowers would already be in bloom. They were, but only by a very narrow margin and there were more buds than open flowers. But the scent, it was already there. Love it! In the afternoon I took my bike down…

It’s amazing how quickly the spring is proceeding. It seems like in November when winter arrived, it arrived all at once and didn’t let go until March. And then when it got warm, it did it with a bang. This feels like the warmest Easter on record! I walked down to the lake to check…

The landscape is transforming quickly. Snow is receding visibly every day and now it’s just patches rather than any real snow cover to speak of. The next major breakthrough will come when the lakes break free of ice, normally it happens at the end of April or early May at the latest. The early spring…

I’m so happy to see some flowers already coming up. I have a pile of snow about one meter high in front of the kitchen window, but right under the window where it’s very warm when the sun in shining, the ground is already bare of snow and I found the first crocuses coming up!…

I had a whole family of roe deer pass by the house today while I was at home and I actually managed to get some pictures and managed to mess them up pretty good, too – I had somehow left the camera on +1 EV while metering from the animals in the dark forest. Talk…

I warned you that I would post some more squirrel pictures! The ”problem” is that I’ve taken better squirrel pictures in the past two weeks than I’ve done in the past whatever years. The second problem is that every picture I have from the past weeks is the animal sitting on the same little perch,…

I had quite a day yesterday. In the morning I had the pleasure of having the squirrel as company and was quite happy about the resulting pictures, and then in the afternoon we did a skiing trip in Lofsdalen and in the evening I shot the perigee moon rising over the Hovärken mountain. I can’t…

Since I have nothing else to post, I thought I would share a couple of a squirrel pictures caught the other day. It was a pleasant surprise that this time the squirrel didn’t run off when I opened the window, so I got a number of a frames and some of them quite nice, too.…

When all else fails, go back to basics. Or in this case, go back to what you know best and for me it’s detail. A birch as a whole is tragically un-photogenic at this time of the year, but this bark detail caught my eye and I was happy I had the little Powershot in…

I was supposed to be studying last night, but at 8pm I couldn’t resist checking the aurora forecast and it looked like there would be a chance of some activity. So I packed up and left – I mean give me a break, I had been sitting in front of the computer for 13 hours…
