  • One of the reasons (or the reason, we never needed to discuss it) that we selected next week for our skiing trip is that it’s full moon on Sunday. Unfortunately it looks like we’re not having the weather with us to shoot it, but that’s the way it goes. You play with the cards you’re…

  • After seeing my spring flowers starting to emerge, I checked back on last year’s posts to see how spring was progressing a year ago. I have a picture from 19 April, where there’s some patchy snow left on the field. So just for comparison, here’s a picture of the same field (just a bit different…

  • Lace

    That’s the first time I’ve seen lace on a birch.

  • It was kind of a sunny day, the sky was white but the sun was providing some light on the landscape. Completely uninspiring so I just shot something and then processed it without any kind of interest in the end result. I haven’t been able to sleep properly this weekend, I have a headache and…

  • It’s April already! Warm and sunny, almost no snow left, ice melting. So my least favourite month is two months long this year, but I take consolation from the spring flower shoots that came up today (I checked in the morning, there was nothing – in the afternoon, two shoots).

  • I’m busy going through my checklist for the trip coming up in a week. It’s not just clothes and a toothbrush, but all the food as well – and that’s a lot of food, as I’m finding out. Everything gets weighed and if the pack is getting too heavy, then I just have to leave…

I used to be anti-Lidl but then I discovered their chocolate selection. All my morals crumbled. Chocolate good.

  • It feels like it’s been overcast weather all winter. I think we’ve had some sunny days, but they are very easy to forget when day after day you look at a dull grey sky. So it was strange to see just a little bit of orange glow in the clouds, almost made me believe that…

  • My parking space at home is starting to turn into a bit of a mud pit. The ground is constantly wet and the grass has worn off a long ago so the tires don’t get a proper hold any more. I’m trying to park in a little bit of a different spot every time so…

  • I almost hesitate to say this but I have a new lens… it’s the Olympus 14-150mm superzoom that I was supposed to get with the camera, but in the end opted for the cheap 40-150mm (Cyberphoto was selling it at a huge discount at the time). But that choice left me with a gap between…
