If you have seen any of the photos I have been posting so far, you know what my environment looks like more or less. It was not always like this. I grew up in #Purmerend, the Netherlands. Let me show you where. Read the ALT texts for some more info.

I photographed this nice crescent moon and the hibernating butterflies in my barn. That was a different barn from what I have now. I do get the butterflies still, but also birds that find their way in, so you can guess the result... 😅

#Sheltie Nooti showing great colours and loving the serenity of this countryside road. You actually don't see many of these in Finland, unless it's a loggers road.

That's my kingdom. All that fits within the frame. By now I miss 5 trees 🫤. Need to take a new pic soon. 🤔
Don't ask about the footprints. There's one set I can't explain. 🤷‍♂️

Light pollution for once doing something nice and snowfall just under freezing point with a lot of wind can give you this effect.

Today.
#kelpie at a balmy -17 walk looking at an abandoned house, where sometimes raccoon dogs nest.
Raccoon dogs, an invasive species can be hunted year round. The decline of field birds is however hardly due to them. The intensive land use and loss of habitat (shelter) is far more detrimental.

Suomen luonnon kannessa metsäpeuranuorukainen lumituiskussa parinkympin pakkasessa 50 hehtaarin yhtenäisellä avohakkuulla Ristijärvellä talvella 2023.

Metsähallituksen satumetsäkriteerit asettavat tason sille, miten metsiä Suomessa kohdellaan. Siksi metsäpeura kuolee sukupuuttoon. Meidän oma vika.

Hoogleraar bodemecologie Franciska de Vries: Het verhogen van de hoeveelheid koolstof via organisch materiaal in landbouwbodems is heel belangrijk, maar gaat klimaatopwarming niet effectief tegen.

It was cold with plenty of snow, but that was pretty normal. The halo effect you see there was not. That effect was not around the sun, and neither a lens flare. It was everywhere to be seen at eye level, even when you block the sun (2nd photo. Only time I witnessed this.
