I actually had another idea today but it would’ve required some effort. But it’s Friday and ”Friday” and ”effort” are not really two words that I like to use in the same sentence.
This will be a mini-series, following my plants from seed to bloom. I’ve planted 5 different sorts, one of them being the same flower that I completely failed with last summer (all of them died after I moved them from the pots to the garden). I don’t know why they didn’t make it but this…
Still some ice left.
Today’s effort was a reminder that although flowers don’t have wings or legs, they’re not easy to catch every time. Some flowers are more prone to wind than others, and this large flowered glory of the snow wouldn’t sit still for a moment. After a few frames I gave up, hoping that I would have…
I came home to a lot of colour in my little garden, now I have all my five species of spring flowers in bloom. The crocuses are peaking, snow drops are almost over bloom and the other species are just starting. I couldn’t wait to get out the macro lens so I shot a few…
I had big problems last night with deciding where I would go today. Having stared at the maps all evening, I finally saw an option that I never thought of before so that’s what I decided to do. I drove to Tänndalen and took the snowcat to the Andersborg cabin (and surprise, I did not…
I said yesterday that I wasn’t even feeling thirsty during my trip, but it was apparently just wishful thinking. I got a headache in the evening which only got worse during the night, and it’s the kind of a headache that comes from dehydration and that painkillers don’t cure. So I had a restless night,…
What a contrast it is to the trip in March. Back then it was cold, windy and overcast and now it’s just sunshine from a cloudless sky, hardly any wind to speak of and therefore quite warm, even if the thermometer insisted that it was just a couple of degrees above freezing. By the time…
Easter is a bit late this year, but there’s plenty of snow left in the mountains and the weather forecast is looking good. It didn’t start off too well though, it was overcast and a bit windy so I didn’t have any ambitions to reach the tundra today and settled with following one of the…
…that I have yet another lens. In my defence, in the middle of this severe case of gear acquisition syndrome, I had the wideangle zoom planned already last summer so this not a whim. Since I went full frame, I haven’t had an extreme wideangle that takes filters. So it was never a question of…
