Yesterday I said it was strange to see some sunlight, but today it was sunny from beginning to end and the temperature finally dropped to a level which is more appropriate for late October. At 3pm, the sun is already that low in the sky! And like I said, it’s still only late October. Yikes.
It was pouring rain all night, 23mm when I left for work. The wind was also very hard, I had trouble sleeping when the rain kept beating against the window. But during the day the sun came out, how strange to see some light!
It feels like it’s been raining all month. This is the result.
Three hundred pictures into my 365 project*! I wish I would have something better to celebrate with, but on a weekday when there’s not enough daylight to shoot before or after work, this is what I get. A quick snap on my lunch break, a familiar sight to anyone who’s visited Ljusdal. For anyone who…
Having the bird feeder in the forest is not so good for photography… really dark. Especially on a dark day like this. But it’s fun, so I sat there for a while and tried to get a picture of the crested tit, without success. The nuthatches on the other hand are easy. There are at…

Caught the leaves on camera before the wind spread them. Just seconds after taking this, the small leaf was gone.
There are some huge willow trees by the lake close to the office. They’re no good for autumn colours like the aspen were yesterday, but the bark has interesting detail regardless of season.
Funny how you sometimes discover something new although it has been right in front of you for years. And years. We have this row of Swedish columnar aspen (yes, ”Swedish” is actually part of the name) outside the office and I walk past every time I go out to lunch. But not until today did…
