Now that I have vacation, I want to have something to show for it – at least one picture per day. Now that’s quite a challenge for my photographic tunnel vision, I always struggle when I’m outside my narrow comfort zone. With what the snow wreaking havoc on the scenery and temporarily halting the progress…

Wolf lichen (Letharia vulpina) is fairly rare in Sweden and it’s on the decline – you’re most likely to find it in the northern Dalarna and in Härjedalen, and that puts Loos in the right neighbourhood. The only time I’ve seen it in Sweden so far was in Tännäs a few years ago, but today…

Probably not a combination you’d normally see, but that’s a lily of the valley with ice drops on it, surrounded by snow. You can see in the leaves that they are suffering from the weather, and it’s not getting any better – in fact, it just started snowing even more than it did in the…

I have vacation next week. I had planned to photograph flowers and ride my motorbike. All things considered, maybe I’ll go skiing instead. We had 15 cm of snow in the morning. It’s still snowing. Coincidentally, it’s 3 years ago to the date when we last had snow in May. The difference is that back…

This was the warmest day of the year so far, and I wanted to make the most of it. The first task for today was to shoot some flowers before the winded picked up. After that, time to start my cycling season. The first impression when I picked up the bike was that it was…

I was out looking for pale pasque flowers today, after a tip I received. The place was the Sånghussön lake a few km south from Färila, I’ve never been there before but I’m glad I got there now. When I found the flowers though, it was all for naught – they were over. The forest…

Equipment doesn’t make a photographer, but sometimes a change can serve as a source of inspiration. In the past when I’ve photographed the daphne, I’ve found it a bit of a challenge – whatever I do, it’s just flowers on a stick. Last year I skipped the daphne entirely, but this time I wanted to…

As far as Aprils go, this was fairly typical. The month started with a period of snowfall, but the temperatures kept above freezing during the day so the snow didn’t stay around for long. From the month’s highest of 51.5 cm it only took 16 days to go to zero. There were still patches of…

That’s how much my Tricker weighs. And I’m glad it doesn’t weigh a gram more, or I’d have been in a spot of bother. You see, this was my first time out on the motorbike on my own and unsupervised. I drove to the Loossjön parking lot to practise my turns on a gravel surface.…

It was a dull and gray day with rain in the air, but I wouldn’t let that stop me – I was determined to practise my motorbike skills and get on the road. It turned out that I didn’t need a lot of training anymore – I remembered everything from yesterday, and I got the…
