The dry, cool weather continues. I'm enjoying the spring vibes, but I need a lot of rest regardless. I visited the cows again on my walk, and got another video of them (see end of post).

It was a kinda chilly spring day. I didn't have much energy left after doing errands, but it was nice to listen to the birds in the evening.

These photos are from March 10 and 11. I've been getting a bit tired of winter vibes photos, so I haven't been taking as much. I hope spring will motivate me more.

The recent couple days have been cloudy, so I couldn't look at the planets and stars much.

It was a fairly cold day today, some snow is still remaining on the mostly frozen ground. There was hardly any wind, so being outside was pleasant.

It was a wet day. In the evening after my walk, it snowed again.

I've been asked to put my images behind cuts so I will try doing this now. Click below to see the photos.

The birds have quickly found out that I started putting food on my windowsill again. I saw many goldfinches and other birds today.

four european goldfinches on my windowsill eating sunflower seeds. they are small brown birds with black, white, red and yellow markings.

The temperatures went way up over night and all the snow melted. There was a mild wind and some birds were singing spring songs.

It snowed a little bit. I started putting out bird food on the windowsill again finally.

I didn't have much energy today. I went on a short walk past sunset.

The cow boys were all there. They were quiet and moved very slowly.

The sky was suddenly clear today, to my surprise and joy. The weather was beautiful, just above freezing, with almost no wind.

the sunset as seen from behind the bare willow bush in my garden. the swingset with the slide and basketball hoot is visible, as well as a bit of the garden house. the sun is lighting up the willow branches.

slightly misaligned HDR shot of the sunset over the field, distant storage buildings to the left and distant power lines to the right. the sky is clear.

sunset over the field with a bit of young green growth on it. the sky is a gradient from blueish to yellow-orange at the horizon. there is some haze in the distance.

close up of a dry little plant with the sunset in the background, light pink and orange tones.

another HDR shot of the green field, and distant trees with the sun setting behind them.

I walked through the apple orchard and into the fields. The moon was getting brighter and more beautiful the longer I walked.

the moon rising over the orchards, framed by wild looking apple tree branches. the dark thicket in the background is the plum orchard. the moon is almost full.

post sunset sky behind large bare trees by the edge of the field. the sky is a gradient of dark greyish blue to orange at the horizon.

the moon standing right above a small group of trees inbetween the fields that are aligned behind each other to appear as one tree. the post sunset sky is pastel pink and blueish. there are wind turbines in the distance.

the sky quite a while after sunset, against the dark silhouettes of wild looking bare trees of the apple orchard. it is a deep blue gradient with some pinkish tones and a peach colour near the horizon.

I stayed out until dark.

Housekeeping note: I've been having some difficulty putting up these posts lately, due to me being busy and also my recent tendency of taking a large number of photos every day. The most effort intensive part, unfortunately, is writing alt text for all of them. I really hate to compromise on an accessibility feature that I believe is important. But if I don't do that sometimes, then the posts won't go up at all. I am still doing my best to write useful alt text whenever I am able to, which is likely going to be on the majority of my posts. Otherwise the posts, such as this one, will be tagged with #alttextmissing.

If you would like to volunteer to help me write alt text from time to time, please contact me in the comments of this post or via my discord server. The discord server is also where I post my photos daily as soon as I finish editing them, so they're on there faster and more reliably than here.



I went on a little trip today with my family. We visited a castle and had a short walk in the park there.

It was a mild day, much warmer than yesterday. In the evening it was dry and the sky was clear. I went out into the fields for a bit.

evening sunlight behind some tall trees. there are fallen leaves on the ground.

the setting sun over the fallow field, it is behind some large oak trees at the edge of the field. the sky is clear and it's a gradient of pastel colours, yellow orange and silver

close up of thistle flowers in front of the evening sky. one is in bloom, light purple, one is going to seed, with a fluffy part at the top. there are spiderwebs on the stalk. the setting sun is blurred in the background.

some spindly looking plants silhouetted against the sunset sky, they are reaching upwards.

A while after sunset, I was standing between the apple and plum orchard, and watching the bats fly around. I also noticed that I could *hear* them. I don't think what I was hearing was their echolocation noises, those should be inaudible to the kind of ears I have. It was probably the sound of their wings flapping. Interesting either way.

a wild looking apple tree, and other, further away trees, silhouetted against the evening sky after sunset. the sky is starting to turn dark, with a hint of orange still at the horizon.

The moonrise was beautiful, I wish I had a camera zoom for this.

the almost full moon rising over some far away trees and houses. there are some apple trees and branches in the foreground. the sky is deep dark blue with a lot of grainy texture.

There was a partial lunar eclipse that night. I stayed up until after 4am and went outside to watch it. It wasn't very spectacular, but I like the moon, and it was nice to watch.
