When the sun is hidden just behind some thinner layers of clouds, wonderful color can appear.
One of the rather rare situations when the animals leave the woods when the sun is still shining. So I got this shot in wonderful orange evening light.
Looks like it’s mammal time here in this blog ;) Hopefully they don’t bore you. But since I finally went through all the roe deer images I took this year so far, I decided to bring some of them online now. Cheers!
Most of the foliage has already left the trees and bushes.
Lots of alpenroses were in full bloom at this time of the year.

Everything comes to life again in May.

Actually the leaves of the Common Hepaticas are even more colorful than the blossom.
... and another picture showing the morning scenery afterwards.
The alpine wild flowers always have to deal with harsh conditions.
At the end of May this year, when springs also slowely arrives in the mountains, I will continue working on my long term alpine ibex project and I'm already looking very much forward to my next stay there. ... last but not least I would like to point out that I'm currently working on a general update of my website, so I kindly ask for your patience if something doesn't work properly, thx.
We started to explore Valle Francés in darkness and we were pretty happy …
First light of the upcoming day in the forest.
… you can find great woods full of old-grown swiss pines there.
Another low-grown but very gorgeous flower.
Heavy winds make the grass dance.
Mount Großglockner again.
Darkness can be very helpful to get closer to the animals.
Harsh spot light in the rather dark forest can create great contrasts.
It’s just amazing how many water droplets of dew larches catch. Actually I don’t know what causes this phenomenon. Maybe it’s the surface character of the needles.
Actually I should be in Styria these days shooting chess flowers, but unfortunately I couldn’t make it this years. But I can highly recommend to go out and take a closer look at all the gorgeous little early flowering wild flowers which can be found almost everywhere these days. Enjoy!
And an other night shot. It‘s hard to set the focus when you cannot see the deer, but when you’re lucky it works.
Most of the Lady’s Slippers are surrounded by trees.
Oh no, it's not easy to get them all in the frame in an appealing pose. Especially when you want them as silhouettes.
In German Ibex is translated with “Steinbock” which actually means “Stone buck”. Now you know why ;)
