Every spring when I see blueberry flowers I think that I should photograph them. Every year I have not done it. Until now – I have these things growing 5 metres from my house, no excuses! Not even the high winds deterred me, I just made use of my new Wimberley Plamp to steady the…

A day off, and not wasted. That’s gotta count for something… My favourite wood anemone patch is best photographed in the morning, so I set down to shoot the flowers. Since the place is shaded for most of the day, the wood anemone are blooming later than elsewhere and there were plenty of buds and…

On Tuesday I discovered some glory-of-the-snow flowers (Scilla forbesii) in Loos. The property where they grew looked empty, so I made some enquiries and found out that the owner lives in Stockholm and rarely visits. The owner’s father was the previous occupant and he was an avid gardener with carefully maintained flowerbeds and a variety…

April was… well, April. We had a couple of really warm spells but also some typical April weather with a little bit of snowfall. Otherwise it was the month when all the snow disappeared, I now have but a small pile in a shaded trench behind the house. It was also a month with big…

In the past years I’ve sworn not to show any of my hepatica pictures, because I was so fed up with all the hepatica crap that people posted on Fotosidan. Well, that problem is easily cured – I stopped visiting Fotosidan. Thus, I can now finally post a hepatica picture of my own. Not saying…

April Friday the 13th turned out to be the day I opened my flower season this year! A couple of passers-by who stopped to chat with me revealed the story behind these crocuses. They should not grow in the wild up here, so I’ve been wondering what’s the deal with them. Back in the 80’s,…

Cancel Easter. It has got to be the most wasted holiday of the year… especially when it falls late enough to miss the spring snow and it will obviously never be early enough to benefit from the spring growth. Well, ”never” as in a decade or so, with what’s going on with the climate. *sigh*…

The first hepatica is now blooming behind my garage, with plenty of buds around. I checked my hepatica pics from the past two years, and they are dated May 6 and 7. I might be getting some hepatica photos dated a bit earlier this year… Just can’t get over how early spring is. Even if…

The first crocuses are now blooming in Färila. This means that I will open my flower photography season next week (provided that the weather continues like this, and the crocuses are not all too covered by dust from traffic). The thing is, these flowers grow in the middle of the town by a heavily trafficked…
