Now that the squirrel mating season is approaching, I’ve been able to determine the sex of the squirrels. Reddie (which I renamed Freddie) and Stubby-Tail are most definitely boys, there’s no hiding the fact, if you know what I mean… By that definition, the squirrel in the picture is a girl. Initially I thought that…

I’m not complaining, we got more snow. But I am just a little bit disappointed about the wind, so the beautiful new powder is spoiled by the wind blown debris. I guess that’s what they call a luxury problem… Not that it matters that much anyway, at the moment. I’m still fighting the remains of…

January can be described with one word – snow. The word should be ”cold”, but this was just about the warmest January on record so snow will do. It snowed on no less than on 22 days – sometimes just a little, but it qualifies. In the between the snowing, there was some rain and…

This is it – the day I have been waiting for! My requirements for shooting the full moon are very specific. I’m not interested in the moon for the sake of itself, I mean when you’ve seen one moon frame-filler, you’ve seen them all. What can you say? ”Nice composition”? Nope, that just doesn’t do…

Sleep deprivation, some bad decisions, poor timing and boring weather resulted in zero pictures yesterday. I was hoping for better today, and I guess it was… at least I slept better. It was one of those days which start with some disappointments but end up just fine. I tried to catch the moonset, but it…

It’s time for all play no work! I have booked myself for a long weekend in Messlingen, long being four days. The reason I chose this weekend is that it’s full moon on Tuesday and ever since a botched attempt to shoot the full moon on Flatruet three years ago, I’ve been obsessed to get…

We witnessed a strange light phenomenon today – the sun! When’s the last time I saw that? Some time last year anyway.

I’m finally starting to tell my squirrels apart. Now that I have them pegged down, it’s actually quite easy to recognise them. ”Blackie” is the biggest of the bunch, and darker than the other two. ”Reddie” and ”Stubby” (or ”Stubby-tail”) are otherwise much the same, but easy to separate thanks to Stubby’s tail – looks…

If I thought that yesterday was wonderful, then today was even better! More snow and less wind. When I set off, the trails were completely snowed over in some places as the snow mobiles hadn’t been around yet. The snow wasn’t too deep though to spoil skiing, so I enjoyed every second I spent out…

Very light snowfall today, but all the more wind. A wonderful winter’s day, in other words. It was also a bit dark today, so there was very little contrast. A few times I nearly tripped on the snow drifts because it was just simply impossible to see where the wind had piled up the snow.…
