Longing for spring...

 I must admit, that winter no longer is a favorite time of the year of mine. When I was younger I loved skiing, something I haven't done for years. The older I get, the less I like the season of darkness and cold days. But some days are bright and sunny, and then I use my camera a little bit. I feed the birds and some roedeer in my garden, that make time flies. I can sit down and watch them for hours.  :-) 

Since we have a few sparrow hawks around us, I might have a chance to shoot one with a catch! That happened 16th of february, when a male sparrow hawk catched a black bird and landed just in front of me! 

A different winter...

 This winter season, 2025/2026, seems to grow different then usual. At least here in southern Norway, where we still have very little snowfall. It's cold enough, but hardly snow. I have only photographed birds in my garden so far. Hopefully I can travel around, as soon as the days grow longer.

Autumn 2025 - wildlife at home

Since I have struggled with health issues, I have only been spotting wildlife in my neighborhood. But if you are patient enough, you will be surprised how much you might see and experience. You may not catch all on camera, but seeing it is also a part of the experience.

Roedeer, badgers, different small birds, birds of prey and snakes, frogs and a mouse or two.They are around us, day and night.  

Frosty nights with auroras and heavy storms, like "Amy", and gallons of rain have been som natural events.

Some of these events I was lucky to catch on camera.  😊
