'Tis the season. Not christmas of course (not yet anyways), but berry season! YAY!!Now one after another, all sorts of berries start to ripen and are just sitting in the forests, waiting to be picked. One of the earliest to be out is the cloudberry. It is typically found in swampy areas and wetlands, so…
During the recent heat wave I did not only spend time at the lakes during the nights, but also durin the days to cool down a bit by the water, enjoy the atmosphere and quietness and read a bit in the sun. It felt amazing, especially knowing that the beach had recently been cleaned from…
Last year, I was so fascinated by the bright nights, that I often didn't notice when it got late and I would only go to bed at around 3:00h in the morning. One night, I even spent entirely out and about, photographing lakes and fog and the beauty all around me, if you want to…
Recently, I spent an evening at Skeppsmalen, watching the sun turn from bright blue to orange, to pink as the sun set. The cliffs there are really beautiful and have a special meaning to me, because that is where I wanted to watch the supermoon eclipse 2 years ago, when I was in Sweden and…
Remember that summer night I went outside to enjoy the incredible beauty and found a swamp with my drone? I made the footage into a little video! 🙂 Enjoy! https://youtu.be/EjVJVMJ5x-M
Autumn is here and so is the time for harvest. Since I didn't have time for updates on my garden and greenhouse during the summer - here we go! I think the last time I updated was when I set out most of my plants. What an exciting time! In the spring, when I began…
After our visit in Germany, we took the way back on 2 days. We started driving in the evening of the 29th August, drove through the night, stayed with Tom's family on the 30th and drove the rest of the way on the 31st. We had a wonderful time in Kumla, it was a supernice…
Again a pause in posts. And I start again with a blogpost a little different than usually. As I had mentioned in an earlier blogpost I spent the two last weeks of August in Germany. Right after we returned the moose hunt started, we got a kitten and we were in the lucky company of…
As I wrote before, here in Norrland this summer was especially cold. However we had a few especially warm days in July, where it was over 30°C for a few days in a row. My outside thermometer even measured above 40°C but of course that was in the sun on a day without any wind.…
In July it was time to pick some Hjortron (Cloudberries/Moltebeere). They are very special and only grow in more nordic climates. Here you can find them in swampy areas with a lot of water in the ground - so exactly where all the mosquitoes are. When they are ripe, they become a golden tone and…
