Spring in Svångemåla!

It has been a very hard and long winter but the snow is slowly melting away and I can see what kind of damages it has caused. Two very small, round bushes (Buxus sempervirens)were totally flattened and I wondered if they would ever recover but within a couple of days of sunshine, they started to look OK again. Amazing!





The wild pigs had not entered into my garden but their search for food made the forests look like a battle ground for a small army. I wonder how this will affect the plants and trees? It might air the ground a bit and actually be good for them or it might harm the roots so much that they die. Something to keep track of!



The hunters' efforts to reduce the moose population had left at least some alive. I saw the back of one and droppings were everywhere.



The March moon was wonderful and looked almost unreal when it slowly made it's way over and among the trees. Maybe it was because it was unusually close to earth, only 356.578 k away.
