The past week has been really cold, some mornings almost down to -20 degrees, and the Spring has not made much progress at all. It has been sunny though and the light is back which makes life easier.
I did some school work this morning and at the same time I listened to a radio program. A lady was saying that what girls need are not "strong" role models, women that have succeded and done extremely well, but "weak" role models; women that have not been so successful but that know that they are loved, lovely and good enough as they are. As I walked around Boglundsängen today I kept thinking about it and I really agree; There is too much pressure on girls, and boys, to succeed, find well-paid jobs, have a beautiful family and stay fit and "young". I hope I can be such a "weak" role model, a humble role model, and someone who can be positive and smiling even when life is not "a fairy tale".
Today I saw yet another "not so common" bird where saw the siskin and the bullfinches. This time it was a goldfinch (steglits, Carduelis carduelis). They are really special and look a bit out of place here in Sweden I must say, as we don't have many birds that colourful. http://www.ufg.se/images/steglits4.jpg
Nothing much had changed since I last walked around the Boglundsängen I found. The fields are full of snow and not many birds can be seen yet. There were lots of crows, magpies, fieldfares and jackdaws (kaja, Corvus monedula) though. The number of geese have increased, there were at least 15 pairs of greylag.
Here are som pictures from todays walk:
The stone under the motorway with some beautiful ice beside it.
Not much change in the amount of snow here.
The creek, Lillån, is frozen again!
I discovered this gigant "splodge" of lichen on a cliff!

On the way back I met the cutest little dog, but mostly I'm terribly annoyed with all the dog owners that let their dogs free in the middle of the field where all the birds will be and already are. Why can't they use the paths as everybody else and keep their dogs on a leach?

Today I went to check-out the observation tower as well. The view wasn't very different but I really liked the walls of it!
