That’s the kind of a day it was.

I’ve mentioned a few times that I gave up on wildlife photography early on in my photography career. Most of the animal photography I’ve done since then is in zoos – not counting the occasional squirrel, of course! When I lived in Ljusdal, I used to visit Järvzoo quite often. Since I moved to Loos,…

I had a near miss with the squirrels today. (Whether it’s a relief or a disappointment, depends on how fed up of squirrels you are…) But I think the work is now starting to pay off; the images are definitely getting better. While I’m learning squirrel behaviour, the squirrels are learning a few tricks of…

I’ll be posting some squirrel images I took yesterday. I’m still trying to figure out if they’re any better than any other squirrels pictures I’ve taken so far. A bit sharper anyway, because there’s enough light to manage low ISOs and/or fast shutters.

I’ve been complaining about how the squirrels eat the bird food, but now I got yet another thief to reckon with – the deer have discovered the squirrel food! I’ve never caught them in the act, but there’s no question about it. The hoof prints around the perches reveal them, and the deer also lick…

I feel a bit torn. While I think that the new snow we got this week looks really beautiful, it’s also only just more snow that has to melt off before spring. But, no matter how much there is of it, the warm sun makes quick work of it. While I was taking this picture,…

After shooting spring crocuses by the roadside in Färila last spring, I decided to plant some of my own so I’d have easy access to the first flowers of the year. Said and done, in September I planted some crocus and snowdrop bulbs, hoping that my first ever effort at gardening would produce some results.…

Just when I thought that it was all over, we got a new snow front and lucky enough for the temperatures to keep just on the right side of freezing. So the scenery is looking fabulous right now, with beautiful fresh snow covering the landscape. As I was walking around, I didn’t mind at all…

Can’t say much about February 2008. February should normally be the best winter month, but this year it wasn’t. Just a little bit of new snow, but mostly just temperatures hovering around zero, and windy, so I didn’t even get any landscape photography done to decorate this post with a previously un-posted image – the…

Newsflash: I bought myself a motorcycle! It’s a Yamaha XG250 Tricker, like this one here. I’ll try to get around to snapping a shot of my own Tricker, even if it’s just standing in the garage waiting for spring right now… I guess you could say that this is my ultimate camera accessory. The Tricker…
