As these things tend to go during the dark and gray months of November and December (with Christmas also distracting). But today was forecast to be a rare bright and sunny day so Adrian and I went out walking on J\u00e4rvaf\u00e4ltet.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_3\/2901_Jarvafaltet_1.jpg\" class=\"x45y6\" \/><br \/>\nThe weather has been wet for some time and it rained a lot during the night, so we mostly stuck to wide, well-maintained paths. The smaller, wilder trails are usually more fun, but they were very muddy today.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_3\/2901_Jarvafaltet_6.jpg\" class=\"x45y6\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_3\/2901_Jarvafaltet_4.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><br \/>\nWe did get sunshine for most of our walk. Later when the clouds came, Adrian was a rare speck of colour in an otherwise pretty dull-coloured landscape.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_3\/2901_Jarvafaltet_5.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><br \/>\nWe had to give up on our shortcut path across one of the fields halfway, when we realized it was flooded and impassable.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_3\/2901_Jarvafaltet_3.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><br \/>\nLake S\u00e4bysj\u00f6n, which our walk circled around, was still all iced over, even though we&#8217;ve had quite a lot of above-zero days recently.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_3\/2901_Jarvafaltet_2.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><br \/>\nThere were some brave skaters on the ice, and a short time later an entire group of them passed us, more than a dozen people. I guess the ice is more solid than it looks, all wet and watery though it is.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_3\/2901_Jarvafaltet_7.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><br \/>\nFor our lunch break we stopped at the birding tower on the southwest shore of the lake. We couldn&#8217;t spot any birds, but there was a lonely ice fisher. That&#8217;s that little black and white dot to the right of the middle. He was quite interesting to watch. I thought he&#8217;d just sit at his hole all the time, but he had multiple holes that he moved between, and even drilled a new one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t been out walking since September.
