Birds this week

This little Robin has been at Boda Kvarn for three weeks now. It does not seem to mind the last days cold. I think it made a home under the building nearby.

Ice and snow and running water is what dippers like.

We finally got some snow where I live. And cold weather too so it won´t melt away quickly. 
Today is sunny and -14deg C (6,8F) so, time to get ready for a hike!

My walk today was chilly but so beautiful. Through the avenue, the forest and the meadow.

Sunset of a decade

 Click image to enlarge!

It had been raining more or less for several days and the snow we had was almost gone with wet and mud everywhere. I had been to the grocery store and was on my way home and it was raining. Almsot home I noticed light at the horizon. Clouds was lifting. So, I continued my trip hoping for sunset at a place I know is good for sunsets. And this happened. 

This sky was all around me. The air was still full of tiny driplets. Maybe that is why this happened. The colors was moving as if someone had blown on them. I took the video below with my phone turning myself all around. The first 5 images taken from the same place. The last one is from a place more close to home.  I hope the video works for you. It is a little more then a minute long.

I walked a new part of the forest

 Click image to enlarge!
I´m afraid this will be a long post with several photos. It has been raining more or less for two weeks with just glimps of sunshine and I have seen neither birds or animals. So I was not supposed to post today. But the sun wanted otherwise. So, here is todays adventure in a new part of the forest I have not walked before. 

First I went to the feeding place I disovered earlier. It was empty. No deer in sight. No wonder really as it was really wet and muddy all over the place.

Walking back to my car I spotted a male Fallow deer at the other side of the field. So I headed that way.

Coming closer, yes, he is still there but going into the forest. Where are the others??

Passing the field I noticed the black one. As always it watches me. 

A little far off two more hiding. You have to look close to see the one in front of the closest one. 

Now I decided to go into this forest. As you can see it is not the easiest place to walk in. 
Ouch, these guys did not want to be on camera. It is three of them if you look carefully.

And my friend the black one. 
At this point I thought if was time to give them a break. Thanks guys!

During the walk I found another place where they feed them. So now I have four places to look for them. I also found some beautiful places in the forest. 
The only path in this forest is the ones created by the deers. It is wise to follow them. I don´t know if you can see it on the right side of the image. 

I also found this forest puddle created by the large amount of rain lately. It will probably dry out eventually. But I will certainly keep an eye on it. 

I hope you liked seeing what my adventure was today. I have not enlarge them fully as it would be a long post. But you can always enlarge the ones you want by clicking them.
