Unusually, I’m waiting until Tuesday to write about something that happened last weekend… Although there’s almost no point in going to the cabin on Saturday and coming back on Sunday, I did it anyway. I had a few small things I had to take care of and even I didn’t have the luxury of time,…

I noticed a few days ago that I had some Eurasian tree sparrows visiting the feeder. While the bird is not uncommon, it was just very nice to see a new species come by. Naturally, my goal for today was to get a picture of one. As it turned out, getting a picture of one…

So this is it, first snow! It was still snowing when I got up, but the temperature was above freezing so it wouldn’t last for long. I ate my breakfast and watched the roe deer run back and forth in the field, it seemed like they were excited about the snow as well. They don’t…

A visit to Järvzoo today. Weather was good for photography, overcast, a little bit too dark in some of the forested enclosures but that’s always the case. Better than contrasty sunlight anyway. Took a load of pictures and I realised, even as I was shooting, that I’m not really creating anything special. Same old animals,…

I started my bird feeding a few weeks ago with just one small feeder to see how it goes, and I found quite quickly that I have a problem with magpies. Those birds are smart enough to figure out how to get the seeds even when they’re too big to perch on those little sticks…

I very nearly didn’t bother to take out the camera today, but in the evening when I saw that the sun was still shining, I finally bothered to lift my butt off the couch. The sun sets so early these days… it’s more and more obvious now that we’re heading for the dark season. I…

The Ljusdal camera club did an excursion to the Hamra national park today. I was kinda in a desperate need to get there so when we started talking about an excursion, I made sure to paint a glorious picture of the park so I could persuade the other members that my idea was the best……

It’s officially the last day of the season – Djupdalsvallen closes today. It’s my favourite waffle place so naturally I had to have a waffle there and celebrate (or commiserate) the last day of my holiday; I will leave in the morning tomorrow so there will be no more hiking then. When I got to…

I had no idea what to do today. There is one subject matter I have not touched all week and that’s waterfalls and I did kind of think of shooting at a brook nearby, but the day was too sunny for that (can’t complain though). So I spent the morning taking care of some odds…

After a couple of rainy and snowy days, the weather is turning. Today will be sunny so I drove to Måns-Erstjärnen, which is one of my favourite places. But I’ve never walked all the way around it and today was the day to do it. Twice, as it turned out. Anyway, when I arrived at…
