A change of scene

[luzula]

I'm taking advantage of the distance teaching to go up to northern Sweden and go cross-country skiing with my parents. This is how it looked the other day; the mountains you can see in the background are in Norway. Also, yesterday I saw Siberian jays, which are my favorite corvids! ♥

Lavskrikor <3 Aww, that is beautiful—sounds like a lovely time!

Wow!!! That looks amazing. (And that's awesome that you can work from there, too!)

Well, your parents aren't going to lose you easily, dressed like that! It looks very wintry and pretty, I love the snow in the trees.

WOW! That is spectacularly beautiful! I'm so glad you had the chance to do this with your folks! :-)

Fabulously beautiful, and what weather!

All corvids are awesome but the Siberian jays look particularly clever.

Oh, beautiful!

God, that looks lovely! Blue sky! It's been so gray here for so long I miss seeing that lovely clear winter sun on snow!

Hello, Norway! What a beautiful scene.

I feel like the criss-cross ski-prints in the snow are like particularly large jay tracks :)

Oh, that's gorgeous!

I was going to ask if the red grouse get annoyed when you cross their territory dressed in red-above-black like that (they do here, this time of year), but apparently it's not (or not exactly) the same species or plumage, so maybe not.

Oh wow, that looks stunning! What a wonderful place to be spending some time.

Lovely view! I'd never heard of Siberian jays before but they remind me in looks of my favourite jays, gray jays, which we also call whiskyjacks. They're curious, friendly, and very cheeky, and I love them very much even if they try to steal any food within their immediate viscinity.

Oooooh gorgeous!

[nnozomi]

what an amazing picture! I hope you are/were having a lovely time, it looks like it. (Really, you don't need all of that snow. You could send us just a little to grace our subtropical climate.)
