(Well it’s an obvious post title, so better get it out of the way already.) This was a momentous day – I finally got to ride my motorbike! So, time for the confessions of an MC newbie. I’m sure that every MC rider will laugh at the problems I had, and I’m equally sure that…

It’s official – we have no more snow. Well, that’s just what my snow meter says, there is no snow around it but there’s plenty of it elsewhere. About 20cm on my front lawn, and then of course behind the house there’s that 1.5m pile that fell from the roof. But the snow cover is…

My crocuses are finally blooming! Or maybe they have been doing it for days… but they are always closed when I come home from work, and they stayed closed yesterday also as the sun didn’t come out until later in the afternoon when my crocus patch is already shaded. The flowers feel like a colour…

Every spring, hundreds of cranes gather up in the open fields of Korskrogen, waiting for the winter to release its grip on their nesting grounds. The fields are not really photogenic, so I haven’t even tried to photograph them before. This year I thought I would try, just to have something to remember them by.…

I went skiing again. Just couldn’t resist the trails which are in pretty good shape at the moment with what the recent snowfall. Glide was great, too good in fact – wasted a lot of momentum slipping sideways. And my feet are not hurting – much. I just wish I could put the same kind…

The flower photography season is now open – even if these are just buds! But I just couldn’t wait any longer, the snow is dirty and weather is boring but the spring crocus buds are absolutely beautiful. Every day when I come home from work, I pause by the flowers and just look at them,…

It was a fairly good March, actually – maybe not as sunny as you’d expect, but just a decent winter month. Even got a cold spell in the second half, but now in the last few days it seems like spring is coming with a vengeance and the snow is visibly disappearing. The first sign…

This is peak time of the year for auroral activity. It was a clear night and the aurora forecast confirmed the high activity, so I packed the camera and set out to the closest spot with an open view towards north. I finally got some half decent pictures of the northern lights! I tried it…
