The wind it blows this time of year, it chills my soul and all my tears. And I don’t know how we got here, my friend. Wars may end but memories kill. They say they won’t but they always will. And one more time straight up that hill, again. I know these hills Ash into […]
A lovely day in April, Mio followed me up to the little grove by our house as I went to collect the birch sap from the tapping bottles I had placed out. He was playful and silly, but kept still long enough for me to take some photos of him in between his crazy fits. […]
Earlier this summer I took my German friend who is staying with us to the Arboretum in Svinvika, abour five minutes by car away from our farm. It was just the right time, as most flowers were in bloom. Located on a hill by the fjord, the arboretum was founded in the 1940s and is known […]
I had actually forgotten all about these photos for a few weeks, but I guess they were not forgotten long enough to be put in my “forgotten photos” tag. I brought my camera out on a slightly rainy day in early May, and had a nice walk around one of the pastures despite falling over and […]
On a hack with one of the horses, I noticed how pretty the little stream that goes beneath the road is now – the same one that runs through our farm yard. It comes down from our moutain, through the quiet forest at the foot of the mountain, past our well and through our pond […]
A friend of mine brought a bouquet of beautiful tulips when she came visiting a few weeks ago, and though they aren’t very fresh any more, I noticed some interesting colours and shapes the other day. Still kind of pretty, in their own way, even though they are slowly withering..
Nearly two weeks ago, I woke up to a world covered in a thick layer of soft, fluffy white snow. It was a Friday so I had to go to work, but luckily the snow lasted through the whole weekend. So all of Saturday and Sunday was spent outside, working the horses in the pretty […]
Last sunday, the fog creeped in over the felled area on the ridge by our farm, and made the whole place look like a deserted battleground, or maybe the remains of a long gone forest fire. As my followers on Tumblr probably know too well, I am fascinated by all those wonderful photos of fogs […]
When I am working down south, I often use several of my days off to just drive around in my car, exploring new roads. Old, bumpy gravel roads through forests and remote valleys, with sheep grazing on the long acre and old cabins all alone in the wilderness. I love these peaceful drives, just me […]
After waking up just after 6am having a coughing fit (the worst part of having a cold), I noticed that all except one of the horses were on the wrong side of the fence. No big deal, as they were still inside another fence, but they weren’t supposed to have all that grass in one […]
