The bog.

It was a good thing it was this little badger the dogs fought in the garden last winter and not the big male, he would have broken all bones in my dogs.

I’m sorry I can’t show You a photo of a wolf today but as You can see the camera caught a badger instead. It is most likely the same badger Alma and Albin had two fights with in the garden, just slightly bigger πŸ™‚ Last nights photos was less good, to be honest the camera had changed from photos to videos but that didn’t matter, we had frost during the night so the lens was covered in it πŸ™‚ I could see something walking by and it did look like a canine of some sort but it was most likely the fox that also visit the garden at nights. No frost tonight so perhaps the camera will catch that canine again but as photos instead.

Out to the bog we went.

Our walk this morning wasn’t anything out of the ordinary and to be honest neither was yesterdays morning walk but we did go out to my favorite island in the bog. It has dried up so much now that it is possible to walk there now, so today You’ll see photos from that island and most of You have never seen that place before. I couldn’t see any signs of wolves being there but Alma was a bit stressed with her tail hanging so we only walked there for a short while and on the less beautiful side of the island (I write island because this is actually an old lake they’ve tried to empty totally a century ago but failed since the lake is a spring lake). I hope I can show You the rest soon, it all depends on rain and wolves πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

I went to the store in the village where I used to work and after that I visited my old work friends. It was fun to talk to them but I must admit I didn’t feel especially sad leaving πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ It didn’t feel like I was leaving a happy place to be honest. They do at least have free coffee though πŸ™‚Β  We had frost in the morning here and even though it almost reached 10C (50F) the ground still stayed frozen all day long. Earlier they guessed that we now would go towards colder weather, now they say we’ll have warmer weather again πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ No sunshine for quite some time though but I can survive without that for a while πŸ™‚

I think it is time for that last cup of tea for the day and perhaps some hard bread sandwiches with it. Tomorrow I’ll have to bake more bread, I failed some last time, too little flour I guess even though I actually put in more than I should. The bread instead of rising it sort of flouted out and became almost flat πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ The taste was good though and that’s more important πŸ™‚

It isn’t easy to find the small bridge so one can pass over the creek if one doesn’t know where it is πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

    1. Hi carolannie!

      The other side of this island is much more beautiful, I think the vegetation is so different because there’s almost no sun shining there during the day, so lots of moss and lichens πŸ™‚

      I can skip the snow though πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

  1. Thanks for posting that really nice badger image, Christer. I’m happy to see any wildlife photos you share with us. Though we have badgers in the US there are none here in the northeast, so it’s a treat to see them around your place. Eventually you’ll get some wolf photos, I have no doubt.

    I love seeing your bog photos. I love bogs and we have a good number of them here. There are such amazing plants native to our bogs, including native orchid species.`

    1. Hi Denali Sam!

      No wolves last night either but roe deer instead πŸ™‚ I do like badgers as long as they don’t climb in to my garden and fights my dogs πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

      I’ve read that we have orchids on the other side of the bog but I’ve never seen any. We do have White tailed eagles though that I occasinally see in the sky.
