I think I should rename my blog. It’s nothing but squirrels anymore… I have two problems with my squirrel perches. The biggest problem is that they are shaded most of the day so light is nearly always at a premium. I’m lucky to shoot at ISO 400, 200 hardly ever and let’s forget about ISO…

So I went for a long walk today to admire the snowcovered landscape, and all I’ve got to show for it is this squirrel image from home*. There just isn’t anything stunningly photogenic right here in the village, even if the snow looks absolutely gorgeous. They started preparing the snow mobile trails today, so weather…

November 2007 would be the month that winter arrived. This is a very positive surprise, as the past winters have taught us to expect black Christmases rather than early winters. Well, there’s still a few weeks to go, the big thaw can still strike… even if December starts with a new snowfall front. * *…

It has been snowing all day. It is also very windy – my snow meter is only showing a 0.5 cm increase in snow cover so the snow is blowing off in some places while piling up elsewhere. This will make a serious dent in my weather statistics! But statistics aside, I have thoroughly enjoyed…

I know I’ve posted a lot of squirrel images lately but at least I hope that they are improving…

I just learned that the constellation of Cygnus, or Swan, is sometimes also called the Northern Cross. Fair enough. Light on the trees was provided courtesy of an almost full moon.

Before anyone says that there’s not enough contrast, I would like to say that it was one of those un-contrasty days. A cold day after a warm one, so the landscape was covered in frost and fog. But I finally did some shooting with the Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro, not just this building (the Loosgruvan…

We got some real snow this week – not nearly as much as SMHI was forecasting, but enough to cover the landscape in a white coat and enough for the ski tracks. I’ll wait until my achy breaky back stops twinging before I get on the skis though, today I settled for a walk through…

I’ve been wondering how come I’m having to re-fill the bird feeder more often than usual… got an answer this morning. The new feeder I got last week isn’t nearly as squirrel proof as the other ones! This is a 50/50 feeder, half nuts and half hemp seeds. The hemp seed side has a very…

October – just waiting for the winter now. Got some great autumn colours early on, but a few blustery days in the middle took care of them. Got the first snow, lost the first snow… got some snow on the last day on the month, but will probably lose it on the first day of…
