After a few days of rest at home, I’m back in Funäsdalen. I started by taking the northern road to Ljungdalen, I knew the new road was finished so I was curious to see it and it was also nice to be driving it westward, can’t remember if I’ve ever done it before… normally when…

Up until the midsummer, June was very cold. We even had a frost night, which luckily didn’t seem to do too much damage to the plants, but it remains to be seen – some of the berries may have taken a beating. Then after midsummer when the weather turned, it got really warm and I…

After all the hyping I’ve done about the lesser butterfly orchid, I’m almost afraid to show the picture – risk for an anti-climax! But here’s the deal. I wanted to get a good close-up – a real macro, in fact – of the flower and the long spur. But showing the flower and its spur…

I left relatively early to catch the morning sun in a panoramic spot I discovered the other day. It was windier than anticipated though, but I took the pictures anyway because the scenery is a little bit unusual – the only place along this road between Funäsdalen and Ljungdalen where you can see the Sylarna…

A little bit sick of the heat and the mosquitoes, I decided to drive to Röros today. Even if it’s warm, there are normally no mosquitoes in towns and then of course there are all those cafes so you can sit down and have an ice-cream if it gets too hot. It turned out to…

Time to concentrate on the main thing – flowers. Considering the slow progress of all flowers in Loos, I figured there was a risk that I wouldn’t find anything interesting (read: orchids) in the mountains. And I was right, the best I could find all day was some lapland marsh orchids which were in the…

Yesterday I visited the real estate agents that are selling the land I’m interested in. My first offer was rejected, and after a couple of days of consideration I upped the offer. I got a call back an hour later – they said yes! Wow… I’ll be a landowner! This morning I popped in at…

I’ve no special plans for this year’s vacation – just mountains. I started with a de-tour to Klövsjö, I wanted to check out the Fettjeåfallet waterfall. It was a sunny day so not really ideal for waterfalls, but at least I’d get to see the place. It’s a relatively short hike – about 2 km…

I’ll be off on a short holiday now, probably no Internet access. I will be able to send tweets from my mobile though, my latest tweet can be seen here in the blog lower down in the right margin. Now you’ll be wondering why on earth I have Twitter when hardly anyone is reading this…

Take 1 When I set out northbound, I saw some very dark clouds ahead of me. Otherwise it was sunny, so I figured it was just showers and drove on. I ignored the rain, but when the hail started pounding the windshield, I turned back. But I was right, it was just a shower. I…
