Friday Photo #644 – Maybe Spring

Photo: The first signs of spring as the fields begin to turn green in mid May, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. May 9, 2025. 14:27

While the landscape is still dominated by the brown dead grasses of winter, the fresh green growth is finally becoming more visible with each passing day. Sometimes it’s hard to believe, but in only a couple more weeks, this field will be full of yellow wildflowers under the 24 hour daylight of the midnight sun.

Here you can see this same location in early June 10 years ago – Friday Photo #131. Quite a difference from today’s photo! And probably easy to see why this time of year I’m always sort of just waiting for summer to arrive…

Just a short post for today as I’m deep into a long overdue update for the Seasons on Lofoten – Summer ebook. A lot has changed in Lofoten since the last update and all the Covid related chaos. Hopefully I’ll have the update out by next week – at least the mostly gloomy weather makes it easy to spend all day on the computer…
