These sturdy horses has no covers on. But they don´t need it. They have warm coats of there own. Especially the last one. It looks almost curly. The door to the barn stays open so they can go inside for cover if needed.  One of them are eating from the fir, something I have not seen before.

Cattle and sheep

I woke up and headed out earlier then I usually do. As I was passing this stall/barn I noticed the cattle lined up. So I stopped to take some shots. I was flooded with childhood memories from my grandparents farm. Most mornings they did not have to go out to get the cows. The cows was already at the stall waiting to be milked. Like the ones in the images. Waiting for the farmer to release them from the weight of the milk. 

In a pasture behind the barn some cool colored sheep were grazing.

This is the largest barn / stall at Klastorp. Taking a closer look at them it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. The cattle in these images are kept in those small enclosures. Not free to be in a pasture. There are cattle in both the white and green "shelters".

 Roe Deer
The female in teh first image was injured. Her hind leg was useless and she walked on three legs. I did not see any wound so I don´t know what was wrong. She seemed to manage anyway.

Young Common Blackbird, male
This young guy was not in a cage even if it looks like it. We were on either side of a fence.

I have been away for 4 days. I went down to Öland. An island in the south part of Sweden just outside the coast. To get there you have to pass a bridge from the mainland to Öland. It´s a 6h drive to get there and my back don´t really like it. 

 Arriving at the south point you first enter a large area where animals, (cattle, sheep and deer) walk freely. So you have to drive carefully. There are birds on the road as well of course. But the cows and the sheep are the worst ones. They just stop on the road just looking back at you. Just moving at their own pace.

A place for a cat? Trash?

Well, no, it is not my cat. But I have seen this one in a number of strange places. How easy is it to jump up there? Or a windowsill on the outside the building?

2 weeks ago I was on my way to Kvismaren to check out the migration situation there. On my way I noticed these sheep that seemed almost totally hidden in the dry grass. But I was unable to stop at the time. 

On my way back in the afternoon I remembered the sheep. Not the same great light as in the morning, but I made a short stop anyway. When they grazed in the tall dry grass they were almost invincible. :)

They seem to be quite happy  :)  I was surprised to see the farm as I don´t often drive that road in winter. And in summer they are shielded by trees with leafs on them. But this time they were visible through the bare trees.

I thought we need some sweet memories of summer after this harsh week with lots of cold, snow and bad surprises. I wanted much better for the world.

Fallow deer female and young with whooper svans in the background. 

If you look closely the deer are getting their thicker winter coat. If I did not know better I would think they needed a haircut. :)
