Fern

8. October 2021 · Leave a comment ·

I was reading on wikipedia when I looked up fern that there are probably about 15000 different sorts of fern worldwide. About 200 sorts in Europe and 45 sorts in Norway. Interesting.

They kind of decorate the forest growing on a layer of moss which again grows on a stone, on an old tree log or a dead tree and alongside a little creek or covers an open field between the birches.

Wonderful autumn

Autumn is a wonderful time of the year when nature present a beautiful and colorful world.

Walking through the woods and watch the leaves, still on the trees, in all shades of red, yellow and brown is just a beautiful and inspiring experience.

Leaves covers the path I am walking on and the sound of them beneath my feet is kind of joyful and reminds me of a little child playing, gathering a pile of leaves, throwing them up in the air, laughing as they fall down to the ground.

Mushrooms

September is here and it is mushroom season. Hunting mushrooms is fun, but I think I may like better to shoot them with my camera than pick and prepare them for a meal. This year there have been too little rain so now there are quite few mushrooms in the forest, but I did get a few shots and I even got to pick some for a delicious soup of chanterelle and porcini.

The mushrooms in the photos below is rough-stem bolete (Leccinum scabrum) and white birch bolete (Leccinum niveum or L. holopus). Edible but not especially tasty in my opinion.

Autumn in the forest

I love summer but autumn has a special place in my heart. Autumn is the most beautiful season with vivid colors and the crispy air on a sunny September day. The forest is loaded with mushrooms and berries and the green moss ground in the forest are sprinkled with leaves in all the shades of yellow and orange.

Hiking and photography

22. September 2019 · 4 Comments ·

My photo challenge friend Ellen owns a cabin at Ble and a little while ago I was invited to stay there for a week end. The cabin is situated in the forest below Blefjell in Buskerud (Norway) so there are a lot of hiking possibilities both in the mountain and in the forest. We normally bring our dogs too but this time the dogs stayed at home, there is a mystical illness among dogs in the Oslo area these days and no one have found out what is the cause for this illness.

We both love photography so we hoped for proper weather for some cool shots. Friday evening was all rainy so we spent the time in doors by the fire, knitting. Saturday was a little bit rainy, but we went for a walk anyway. Saturday afternoon was sunny and warm so we had our dinner out doors. Sunday was OK, I slept too long (not a good thing for photography…..) so after breakfast the sun had disappeared, but we had a nice walk that day too.

Here are some shots from the trip:
