Could it be winter?
The southern part of Sweden have been suffering from stormy conditions and snow. Up here, we were spared from all problems. We got some wind, just enough that it would blow the trees free from the little bit of snow that fell. But at least we haven’t lost the snow cover that we got last weekend and now that the thermometer finally (!) dipped under 10 below zero, it looks a lot like winter.
But, with what the bare trees and wind-blown debris on the snow, the scenery didn’t really inspire me to photograph. Instead, I’ve been skiing. Which was also good!

What did I say about the monsters in the forest? They have been culling the trees behind my house. I lost a spruce some 10 metres from my living room window. Oh well, I guess I have to admit that it wasn’t really “my” spruce to start with. Just like the house isn’t really my house… just renting. Anyway, at least they left the pine where my bird feeders are hanging. It’s just that the birds don’t seem to appreciate the new scenery, because I didn’t see any of them this weekend. Bummer.
Going to work in the dark and going home in the dark, that’s winter.
We have some snow now, but the weather hasn’t been kind for us. Only moments of nice sunshine I have spent indoors at the office. Looking forward shooting some pics tomorrow - if the weather is ok…
