I went swimming the first time this year. It was brief and fresh.

Well. Stubble field season has arrived.

I took a lot of pictures of mirrors this month. This one was rather accidental.

About an hour ago the fog began to shift, which results in a strange half-way light that makes you doubt your sense of depth. Minutes later it's all clear and back to normal.

What people think my dog is: husky (very common), samoyed, chow chow (occasionally), malamute (rare, but also, probably, correct), wolf (more often than you think), and today we add the Pyrenean Mountain Dog to the list.

View across my survey square for the Breeding Bird Survey. If you like going for walks in the early morning to look for birds, sign up, too.

Look, a starved Scottish wolf is desperately trying to find seafood.

Well, screaming sky season is here, properly. You can't hear the whitethroat, the sedge warbler, and the meadow pipit.

Rather poetic picture of my second car, in front of a rather large telescope, just before it died (the car).

Rather poetic picture of my first car, in front of my parents' house, early 90s, photographed by my brother.

On the plus side, spring is inevitable. Well, beyond the wall of rain that is on its way.

Yesterday, someone told me, while watching me talking with my dog, that it's too bad I can't really talk with the dog. I respectfully disagreed, but it was difficult to explain. It seems to be a misunderstanding of what empathy means.

At this point the weather forecast has just given up, right.

Here another snapshot of the deep interspecies communication between Bunny and the nameless pony. "It is quite big." "What if." "But it smells kind of interesting." "And the tongue feels so good."

For a large dog it is a bit difficult to find good friends with a solid size. Sometimes you have to go beyond biological boundaries.

When looking at infrared images, it's always good to remember that the same object can look very different depending on the colour scale.

It was a difficult week, overall. But here is Mike contemplating the sunrise on Thursday. The only sunshine we got.

I'm sorry, Bunny, it's not my fault we are in one of the very few corners of the country without any snow.

It has taken a long time, but it seems by the end of the week I will be owner of a small bit of land at a lake. Land that is completely useless, except for birds, of course. Land that I will never be able to sell again. It will always be an overgrown mess.

Okay, I prove it. Here it is again, it looks like an antenna of sorts. But it's the same weird tree. Explain, please.
