Nice collection of pretty photos! I do live in Norway, but I live kinda south in Norway, so I don't feel like "the north" 😅 In Stavanger, where I live now, it often just feels like two seasons: autumn and spring. It was strange having -7 degree celcius here this winter:LOL: In Kristiansand, further south in Norway (my birthtown, where I have lived almost all my life) all four seasons is way more clear! 😂 So strange! There it can be -20 degree celcius in winter (although normally not that cold). And summertimes are so much better! A good place to be in summer holidays :D

I will welcome photos and macros that have the name North in them sample could be a migratory bird or a flower species that is found in the North and so has a Northern name to it.

I don't really know what species of flower etc. that are typical for the north... I have some guesses, but I don't want to investigate every flower or bug that might be a typical northern thing, sorry...:rolleyes:

That is okay, Here in Canada 🇨🇦 because we are an Arctic country we have lots of examples of how the North influences the rest of our country two times a year we experience the great bird migration from North to South and then back again...so we get to see a large number of Northern species moving through our area.
