It is cloudberry season in Lapland

Lately most people in Lapland are spent time in cloudberry swamp. Cloudberry gathering is a big part of life in Lapland. When people meet each other, they discuss the cloudberry catch and wondered is the cloudberries ripe or raw.

Today the most of the cloudberries are too ripe but in wooded swamp you can still find good cloudberries.






Lappish cloudberry swamp.


 Northern bilberry is almost ripe. This is edible and healthy berry but I like more the taste of blueberry. Bears eat this berry with a good appetite.

Blueberry is very delicious and healthy berry. This is also bears favorite. Next week blueberries is ripe enough, I think. Although berries looking like ripe, they are not sweet yet.

I found anthill which the bear has dug. Ant eggs are a delicacy for the bear.



Twigs was still green below the pieces of anthill. So it's not long time when bear dug this anthill.

 Childrens are involved in the forest and cloudberry swamp. When the little legs get tired, kid carrier backpack is comfortable to sit.

This cloudberries waiting for cream and sugar.
