After a cold and rainy day, the evening was turning out to be sunny and calm. It sounded like a perfect evening to photograph the red-throated loons, so grabbed my camera and jumped in the car. I hadn’t gone 100 meters into the forest road when a crane took off right in front of me,…

We drove to Gröntjärn today, the idea was to shoot pale pasque flowers. I was sure they would be in bloom or at least budding because the spring is slightly early this year. The weather wasn’t too good, overcast and cold (there were snowflakes in the air at one point), but the pale pasque flowers…

Yesterday on the way home, when I looked up from my book I saw a glorious double halo around the sun. It’s a pretty desperate deal to shoot through the bus window, but I had to try – I can’t remember I’ve ever seen a double halo. I just kept hoping that the halos would…

After all the warm weather last weekend, I’m having a hard time figuring out what to wear now. It’s not as warm but the sun is shining, so do I need the middle layer or not? I decided to have faith in the sun and left out the middle layer and I was very nearly…

Flowers, give me flowers! I went to my favourite daphne spot to see if the flowers would already be in bloom. They were, but only by a very narrow margin and there were more buds than open flowers. But the scent, it was already there. Love it! In the afternoon I took my bike down…

It’s amazing how quickly the spring is proceeding. It seems like in November when winter arrived, it arrived all at once and didn’t let go until March. And then when it got warm, it did it with a bang. This feels like the warmest Easter on record! I walked down to the lake to check…

The landscape is transforming quickly. Snow is receding visibly every day and now it’s just patches rather than any real snow cover to speak of. The next major breakthrough will come when the lakes break free of ice, normally it happens at the end of April or early May at the latest. The early spring…

I’m so happy to see some flowers already coming up. I have a pile of snow about one meter high in front of the kitchen window, but right under the window where it’s very warm when the sun in shining, the ground is already bare of snow and I found the first crocuses coming up!…

I had a whole family of roe deer pass by the house today while I was at home and I actually managed to get some pictures and managed to mess them up pretty good, too – I had somehow left the camera on +1 EV while metering from the animals in the dark forest. Talk…

I warned you that I would post some more squirrel pictures! The ”problem” is that I’ve taken better squirrel pictures in the past two weeks than I’ve done in the past whatever years. The second problem is that every picture I have from the past weeks is the animal sitting on the same little perch,…
