After a mild winter with little snow in the inner parts of Middle-Norway, the cold and snowy April was a delightful surprise. As a consequence, ski conditions were better in the beginning of May than during the whole winter. And I was lucky to spend this wonderful period of spring in the mountains…
Late spring is a season full of contrasts in Norway. While birches turn green in the low lands, the landscape is still covered by a thick blanket of snow in the mountains. Animals living here adapt to these conditions, such as the stoat that kept his elegant white winter coat in the mountains until the middle of May. The hares started to change coat a little earlier, in the end of April, and as the start and the length of this process varies from individual to individual, I could observe hares with white, spotted or homogeneously light brown coats at the same time. 5 different individuals were visiting my feeding place, so I could add many new hare images to my photo archive.After some weeks in the mountains, now we move to the coast where we will spend the whole summer and a great part of the autumn. We are very excited about what new experiences (and images) these travels will bring along...
