Ghost and ghoul season is upon us!

Spoil your brats Saturday? Half of their normal kibble, topped with woolf ultimate air-dried fish/salmon, a boiled egg from my mum's backyard flock, deer shot by my uncle, blueberries from a hike back in august (and Sparta's glucosamine supplement, which keeps ending up in Troj's bowl by accident.)

Well into her senior years, Sparta still blows me away at every opportunity. She may not give as many bruises barrelling into me as she used to, but she's always ready to go, always first up the trail, and always the last to quit. 🙌

Sparta is size of a shoe and brimming with spite ❤️ In july, her little toothpick legs put down over 130km above the tree line! Not bad for a geriatric 5kg shrimp.

The light was exquisite but the most important thing about this photo is her grimy little paws <3

Blue merle sheltie sat on a mossy rock. The lighting is very nice. There's some heather and lingonberries as well

8 years ago - we were still living at the family farm, which sits high up on a slope of an agricultural valley. It only took around 30 minutes from walking out our front door to pass the alpine forest line.

I like this behind-the-scenes version of Luna the Japanese spitz' first stacked photo better than the proper version, because with the hand you can see how fckn tiny she was 😭

Locally named a boltit or a fjello, the eurasian dotterel is a member of the plover family. It's a fairly rare find in my area, and this was my first time seeing one up close!

We just came back from one of my bucket list hikes - three days spent tenting in one of our protected landscapes. Got well sunburned, bitten by insects I can't name in places I don't wanna talk about, saw three white-tailed eagles, and snapped this photo just as a thundercloud rolled in
