The weather is much cooler now and it doesn’t look like the snow has melted very much on Anåfjället. The river is also past its peak, the water level sank a bit and has been holding steady for a couple of days. Yesterday I visited Livsäterån. There’s no ice, but the creek is lined with…

Did a quick trip to see if the cranes and red-throated divers are back – and they are! The tarn where the cranes are is still covered with ice, but the red-throated divers’ tarn has melted fully. It’s a popular place, I saw common golden-eyes, mallards and best of all, tufted ducks, before I spotted…

Say bye bye to the warm weather. This morning Ånnfjället looked a lot more pale than in the picture but there was just enough sunshine during the day to melt the new powder. It was chilly when I went cycling, and it wasn’t just me gotten used to the warm weather – it was snowing when…

The water keeps rising. I’m wondering if it’s possible that this big boulder in the middle of the river can get completely covered.

Cycled the Lossen road for the first time this year, with the following observations: The cranes are not at home yet. The little tarn by their (last year’s) nesting site is still covered with ice The Lossen reservoir is almost empty The spring water is as good as it ever was (I filled my bottle…

May appears to be a month when everything is possible – I’ve been skiing, walking and cycling so far, and now I can add snowshoeing and hiking to the list. That’s really all the outdoors activities I ever do (after I point blank refused to run any more, because I hate it and can’t get…

The water level keeps rising in the river, but it’s not flooding. It’s barely higher than last summer’s peak after an intensive period of raining, but as you can see, there’s still plenty of snow on the mountains. And the warm weather continues! Yesterday I drove to Fjällnäs (for no reason really, just to waste…

The warm weather has arrived! The snow and ice are disappearing fast, I’ve been checking out some rocks in the river and the water level has risen at least 5 cm since this morning – one of my marker rocks is under water now. While I wait for the small forest roads to become passable,…

That just happened. I was skiing in May, first time I’ve ever done it! And it wasn’t just a small nominal loop, but a proper 20K trip from Bruksvallarna to Djupdalsvallen. Today was the last time of the season that they prepare the tracks and the weather forecast says that the temperatures will now go…

When the cranes are not on the golf course, they are on the field behind my house. I counted about 40 from my living room window, but I can’t shoot them from this side of the field, the angle is all kinds of wrong. So I approached them from the other side and got surprisingly…
