All through the summer I’ve been jealous of all the mountain bikers I’ve come across on my hikes. I really want to learn trail riding because it will open whole new doors for me (and it looks like a lot of fun!) so I got myself a real bike last week. I already had two bikes,…

One of my (many) goals this summer was to cycle to Djupdalsvallen from home. I was going to do that last year, but I chickened out and drove to Bruksvallarna and then biked. No chickens today! The weather forecast had promised sunshine but the clouds were stubborn and the sun still wasn’t out when I…

Fulfilled one of my longtime plans and cycled the Mittåkläppsvägen road from Bruksvallarna to Djupdalsvallen (and beyond). Emphasis was on cycling, not photo, so I was in snapshot mode. I almost never do this, but this time I wanted to take pictures to show what the day was like and not worry about the light or…

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.

What a wonderful weekend it has been! The calendar says it’s still spring, but it sure feels summer. On yesterday’s excursion when I ended up in a wet mire wearing non-Goretex shoes, I wouldn’t have known I stood in water if I didn’t look down and saw the water covering my feet. That’s how warm…

The photographic slump continues, waiting for the greens. It’s actually starting to happen now, with ever so slight green tint on the birches. Some birches actually very nearly sport mouse ears by now, so give it another week and the landscape will be transformed. Exciting times… this is the spring equivalent of first snow! I…
