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…

Got plenty of sunshine today, but not so many squirrels. For a while I thought that they would be a complete no-show, just a reminder to me why I gave up my wildlife photographer dreams years ago. Landscapes and flowers don’t have feet! Ironically, this is the time of the year I’ve been waiting for…

It’s been a sunny week, but it figures that the clouds arrive for the weekend. We got just a little bit of sunlight yesterday morning, it’s all gone today. The good news is that now that the sun comes up a bit higher in the sky, there’s a fair amount of light even when it’s…

I don’t know what title to give to my squirrel posts anymore… squirrels, squirrels and more squirrels. Well, I’ve got nothing else to shoot when the weather is like this! The first furry visitor to the feeder was Jackie, but it was still too dark for photography. When it got a bit better with light,…

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…
