Winter is beautiful.
The landscape and the forest is covered in snow making patterns you haven’t seen before. A chaotic but systematic pattern sprinkled with golden leaves, just to amaze you.
Winter is the silent, colorless and dark season. Different from the colorful and noisy autumn.
Nature now rests until spring arrive.
Walking in the forest has always been one of my favorite things to do. When I was a child I loved to go for forest walks with my father. He thought me a lot of different plants, trees and berries. Maybe that’s why I grew so fond of macro photography.
It is a good combination to be fond of walks in the woods and macro photography. Finding the right target for macro photography takes some time so you have to walk slowly and use your eyes. It is necessary to leave the path because the most interesting macro targets often can be found on old tree logs, stones or hidden in the moss. Sometimes the sun beams hit a tree or a stone and gives you a lovely scenery when you walk by. For me walking through the forest it’s like being a part of a fairytale.
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.
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.
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:
Lichen on birch
Droplets on lingonberry leaf

I love these trips up to my friends cabin and the shots in todays post represent what I like so much about these trips 🙂
Have a lovely week!
