Alone and gathering

Click image to enlarge!

I found this little guy in the forest waiting för better times. Alone!

I´m not sure what species it is? 🐻🐴

At the other side of town the greylag geese are gathering for the fall migration.

I have not seen any other critters lately. The fields have been harvested and lots of the bug infected forest has been cut down. The deers don´t like empty fields and can´t move in the branches and stumps in what was once a forest, so they are gone. When the geese are gone nature will be compleately emty!

I can only hope at least the Dipper will return. But that will not happen yet.

Hopefully a few deers will come back!

Barns

This is the old-fashioned barns of the mansion Claestorp.

I am happy they saved the remains of this tree in the beginning of the avenue leading to the mansion. It really looks like a beautiful sculpture.

Saturdays Critters

Click image to enlarge!

I was on my way home when I spotted this dark Fallow deer buck on a clover field.

Th grey wagtail has been absent for 3 weeks but now appeared again and seem to have young. This is probably a male.

I was lucky to capture the Brimstone in mid air

I apologize to those who don´t appreciate this animal. But I think this is interesting. What appear to be blue eyes is the Snok molting it´s skin. This is my favorite snake It is a curious one and only eat fish and rats. During the years I had many lovely encounters with this species. The small fish has finally appeared at the stream so when done molting it will hunt it´s lunch. I hope to see it then.

Mute swan

This is an image I took from across the lake. It shows about half the distance. Tornstugan is the recreation area with a birding tower. I am standing on a platform across the lake. To get to the platform I have to walk a long way through reed on a boardwalk. Don´t go there too often as it feels a bit unsafe. But most of the swans, the cormorants and some migrating ducks are in this area of the lake.

Take care, stay safe!

Winged ones

Click image to enlarge!

Horned grebe done molting. Not that much beauty anymore

The chick at the head, Hardly seen.

Horned grebe pair lost two of the eggs but one was hatched.

It is hard to see the chick as they swim on the other side of the lake and it is impossible to get good shots with the camera I have. At least I see them.

Two of the best shots ever I have of the snipe/enkelbeckasin.
It is soon time for them to return south so I have to go looking for them. Hopefully some will turn up. © NF Photo 150809

Coot! Full speed ahead!

Chimney sweeper - Sotmätare
I have seen this one in "normal" numbers.

Holly blue - Tosteblåvinge
These are usually seen in large numbers. This year I have only seen two. And this one looks worn out.

Well, I was planning to make a drawing on the Wacom tablet but failed miserably. Instead I started to play around in CS5 as usual to get something that looked like a drawing. I came up with this. I never really know where this process leads. It always surprise me in the end. I don´t post the original but it is a quite common boat with a blue sky as backdrop.

This one was what I was thinking of when I started out with the first one. The original was sketched when I was a teen. Now I resketched again on WACOM tablet. The lines looks like I would be a hundred yeas old :( I added the color of the old paper to make it look as old as the original. And the dark part was used as the water.

Well, this is really what I wanted the WACOM for. To combine photo with sketch.

Kulltorp, a place I recently disovered. Buildings built on a slope. Very unusual for Sweden.
First image is edited in CS5 and NIK Collection to make it more "artsy". The other two images was shot a misty morning 5 days later then the first one.
