Did my weekly walk again to take a look at the flowers. The daphne in my favourite daphne spot have just started to bloom so I approached them with the macro lens and extension tube. I’m pretty happy with the daphne pictures I took last year so the only new thing I could think of…

I like hiking light. Dragging a whole lot of photography gear is just not my thing, because I want to enjoy the hike as well. So I have a big dilemma when I have to choose the gear for mountain hikes because I want to be able shoot both flowers and landscapes. And since the…

Last week I was hoping that I was done with the crocus pictures, but I just had to post this one. It’s not very polite to shove a lens up to anyone’s reproductive system but the crocus didn’t mind and I promise that no flowers were harmed in the process! In order to get this…

Today wasn’t quite as nice as yesterday, but it doesn’t stop the spring from coming along. I found hepatica buds behind the garage, and they weren’t there yesterday because I looked and didn’t see any. The crocuses are also increasing every day and I can even see a snowdrop on the way, only leaves mind…

I’ve got myself a new toy in the form of a 14″ Sony Vaio laptop. I must say that I’m quite happy with it, not least because I got it for discounted price that I’m sure was Sony’s mistake! When I was looking for a laptop, I was having a real hard time finding something…

Every day there’s more crocuses coming up under my kitchen window. Today I had five of them in bloom, but I can see three new buds already. It’s too bad that my crocus patch is shaded in the evening so the only chance I have of seeing them open is during the weekend, so I…

Finally, finally, finally! Time for my best friend, the macro lens. My crocuses are not in full bloom yet, but I know that the coltsfoot will have dotted the roadside yellow in that warm spot that is always the first one to melt in Loos. I was hoping to see other signs of spring, anything…

We’ve got plenty of the roe deer around here but they’re really shy, so I can just forget about approaching them in full sight, they’ll be long gone before I get to photographing distance. I’ve only really had one reasonably good opportunity to photograph them, that was over two years ago. Since then I’ve of…

I went for a walk right after breakfast, didn’t want to risk that it would get warmer during the day and the ice casing we have on everything right now would melt away. The trails are wonderful right now – they really are hard as ice, it’s like walking on tarmac. Except 10 times more…

It’s a rare phenomenon up here but it happens, so today it was -2°C and raining. Needless to say that it didn’t look very inviting for a hike, but I hoped that it would turn to snowing so I went out. Pretty soon my camera pack and tripod were covered with ice but I was…
