  • A year

    One year ago to date, I sat by my mother when she took her last breath after a brief and hopeless battle against cancer. Still not a day goes by that I don’t think of her, but most days now those thoughts are more fleeting. Time indeed has done its job. When my sister and I were…

  • In March I showed a picture of a birch with lace decorations. Well, now the birch is even more decorated!

  • Sat by the feeder again, no sign of the long-tailed tits but I was glad to see a willow tit at long last! And I finally got some pictures of the crested tit as well. * * * The pattern is amazing, it took me a moment to figure out why the face looked so…

  • It was snowing in the morning, but only just. I went for a walk after breakfast so I could capture the snow before it started raining, and I headed to a spot I had scouted in the spring. I like the contrast between open water and snow so I figured that this spot could work,…

  • It was pouring rain all night, 23mm when I left for work. The wind was also very hard, I had trouble sleeping when the rain kept beating against the window. But during the day the sun came out, how strange to see some light!

  • It feels like it’s been raining all month. This is the result.

  • Three hundred pictures into my 365 project*! I wish I would have something better to celebrate with, but on a weekday when there’s not enough daylight to shoot before or after work, this is what I get. A quick snap on my lunch break, a familiar sight to anyone who’s visited Ljusdal. For anyone who…

  • Having the bird feeder in the forest is not so good for photography… really dark. Especially on a dark day like this. But it’s fun, so I sat there for a while and tried to get a picture of the crested tit, without success. The nuthatches on the other hand are easy. There are at…
