So, now I’ve had a week to contemplate my situation. And make an Excel table about it, as befits an introvert. My nose is still a bit stuffy but otherwise it feels like I’m back to normal. Considering the stuffy nose, it’s a bit as if I’m recovering from a flu, but my Excel table…

Well, guess what. Here I am again. Exhausted. And now it’s worse than ever before, I’ve had this weird thing all week. On Monday I was really tired, I mean more tired than after Njupeskär. Then on Tuesday, I felt an itch in my throat, which normally always means that I’m going to have a…

I’ve mentioned it a few times that I’m now doing things instead of just endlessly planning them. The change started about four years ago but after mom died, it just made me even more determined. I do not want to die regretting a life not lived. So if you’ve read my blog, you will have…

My Olympus Tough compact has a microscope mode. Now that we are starting to have flowers – quite a lot of them, actually – I finally remembered to test it. So I shot this strict primrose (Primula stricta) and indeed, it’s possible to get very close to the subject. And unlike with many other compact…

It’s nice to have some places which you can visit year after year on the same date. And spring is just about the only season where it makes any difference how the season is progressing. Summer just follows the spring, autumn colours appear almost always in the middle of September, first snow can fall at…

Since my knee makes it impossible for me to go skiing (the mountains by the way look absolutely divine now, so no I’m not bitter at all), I decided to go looking for some spring pasque flowers. We don’t have any of them here, but over in Hede they’ve got plenty and I’ve seen a…

One thing I’ve been itching to do all autumn is to visit Silverfallet. I’ve been there quite a few times already, but just never managed to do it in the autumn. Or rather, I did it once, but it rained so hard that I had to give up after one picture. And today, two out…

Had a full day of fun in Ramundberget! They have a new(ish) ski lift that takes you up in the summer, and the Tusen restaurant on top is open during the lift operating hours. So I took the lift up, walked around on the tundra in search of photo ops, but it wasn’t very easy…

Some assorted pics from this week’s excursions. The black vanilla orchid is work in progress, I still haven’t found a good way of shooting them. It doesn’t help that I only found seven individuals, out of which some were still barely more than buds. So I will need to visit the location again, hopefully find…

I found some mountain avens growing by the road in Ljusnedal. That’s not the right place for shooting them though, you have to go to the tundra instead! Which is what I did, I drove to Hamrafjället and walked through the flower meadows (which didn’t have any flowers yet) and up to the pass between…
