The temperatures have been cold enough to keep the snow we got on Thursday. Today is the coldest day yet, had 6 below in the morning and it has only crept up above freezing now in the afternoon. So on with all the winter clothes, and out to play in the (little) snow… and yes,…

Not counting the few snowflakes we got in September, today we got our first snow. Looks like most of the snow fell before the weather front got to us, but there’s enough to cover the ground with the white stuff so this absolutely qualifies. It will disappear soon but that’s to be expected at this…

Sunshine, blue skies and autumn colours. Not sure if my day’s shoot has ever looked as colourful as today!

September was odd in that it was … well, very September-ish. Lately it seems like the months have been unlike themselves but now we got the kind of temperatures you’d expect, maybe not as much as rain as would be normal but some anyway, and most of all, we got glorious autumn colours. I wasn’t…

Sometimes there is particular irony that photography is called ”shooting”. So I drove to my favourite creek again. No rain, but very slippery rocks. As I was making my way through the bushes, I suddenly heard a gunshot. Very close by! I stopped to have a look around, but I was fairly well hidden among…

I haven’t gone all trigger happy and tested it just for the sake of testing, rather I’m just taking the pictures I would anyway. I will leave the reviewing and pixel peeping to others (and there are plenty of…

Just another average quiet Saturday in Loos. Found a toad sunning itself on the trail. At first I thought it was dead, but then I saw the throat pulsing ever so little. I don’t know if it was cold and was trying to warm itself, or if the sun caught it in mid-stride and it…

I owe an apology to SMHI. Lately I have been laughing at their forecasts but today they got it right, as unlikely as it seemed in the morning. At 1pm today, it was 5°C and snowing (see the forecast in my previous post). Wow! So that was the first snowfall of the season. Can I…

I had planned another mountain hike for yesterday, this time just a day hike in Idre. The weather forecast kept warning about storm force winds though, so I decided that it’s best to stay at home. The wind was bad enough here as well, as my tripod so painfully discovered – it crashed down on…
