Garden safari 🙂
Lady bird on marsh marigold in the back garden
Rachel put together a small pond in my back garden while I was working away and this is the 1st photograph from it!
43 image stack helps show the pollen!

Went out with the camera today looking for jumping spiders and found this downy jumping spider (1st jumper of the year)
Took a while to get one actually looking at the camera so I could get the sun reflected in its eye
28 image handheld stack at around 3.5 times magnification

Now I can say I rode a ice kicker over the frozen Baltic Sea 1km to an island and a shut cafe then 1km back 🙂
The 1km into the wind and hale in my eyes was quite something!

Just back in from a -23C landscape tour and had beautiful view of the waxing crescent moon over the mountains with those pastel colours you get in the polar night 🙂

Wow seen the most colourful aurora I ever seen in 10 years of working in the Abisko area and just after 4 o’clock in the afternoon!
Wild pinks, purples, yellows and greens over Lapporten!!
Totally wild!

Jupiter and 3 of its moons with the aurora
We had very strong auroras tonight so I set up my camera with a 600mm and 1.4 extender
Found Jupiter and waited for a strong aurora to go between me and the planet!

One from tonight’s work, out guiding 🙂 We had cold temps (-18C) and some stiff winds so it felt pretty tough. But the huge aurora we had at 18:30 made up for it
The pinks and greens were very obvious to the eyes
The tent is backlit by the moon

Had a tip off from a friend about a female lesser spotted woodpecker visiting their garden and today I saw her 🙂
As we are now in the polar night it’s a challenge with the lack of light! Handholding 840mm and only getting 1/125 shutter speed!

Today had a nice view of polar stratospheric clouds meeting regular clouds. With polar night sun just under the horizon adding colours to both
Interesting how the sunlight causes very different impact to both cloud types!

From this mornings hike down to Torneträsk lake
During the polar night I always think it’s good to get out during the part of the night when it’s most light even though there’s no sun!
