A last visit to the zoo, I just had to see the bear cubs. They were released to the public enclosure today and it turned out to be a very popular event, the parking lot was full! Oh my gosh how cute the cubs are. Still a bit unsteady on their feet, and absolutely adorable!

What an amazing day it was yesterday! I had been looking forward to it the whole week, and this trip fulfilled and even exceeded all my expectations. (If you don’t want to read the long story, just scroll down for all the pictures!) Our first stop was at Ikea in Sundsvall to eat brunch. I…

The last time I visited Orsa Björnpark, I bought an annual ticket because I visit the place a few times a year anyway. It figures that it’s right after that when I decide to move so far away that there will be no more visits! So I thought I would squeeze out one last visit…

Well that was it, the last skiing of the season. Sure I still have tomorrow here at the cabin, but after four days of skiing I’m done. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m not exactly super trained and I think I was more tired after today’s 15km trip than I was after Thursday’s 15km trip. But it was good…

Early wakeup call today to catch the setting full moon. When I got to my spot, it was a no-moon, as there was an annoying bank of clouds in the western horizon on an otherwise clear sky. But, not to waste the morning, I skied a couple of km to a nice spot to catch…

I’ll start with the big news – I will move in the summer. I will leave the lowlands behind me and relocate to Ljusnedal, which is a small village close to Funäsdalen. I checked out a flat today, or rather, the second floor of a house. It is all kinds of brilliant… light and roomy, with…

It’s Easter, and there’s only one way to spend it – on the skis, in the mountains. When I arrived, I was happy to see that there’s actually more snow now than there was a few weeks ago on my last visit at the cabin. The dark patches on the mountains are covered and best…

Plan A was to go to Orsa but it’s too sunny for that. Never too sunny at Järvzoo though so that’s where I found myself. Initially everything was really quiet, I just walked through the whole park without taking a single picture. The most exciting thing that happened was all the water that was dropping…

It’s still only March, but spring was progressing at a very good speed. My crocuses are starting to grow, there’s been some migratory birds around for a few weeks already, actually, and snow is rapidly disappearing. But today the whole thing was on full reverse and it was snowing all day even if the temperature…

We witnessed something very rare today, a partial solar eclipse. At first it looked like the clouds would spoil the show, but the cover wasn’t very thick and the sun was visible as a bright disc, and during the eclipse, a bright crescent. It didn’t get very dark during the eclipse and I didn’t get that…
