A closeup photo of two cloudberries. They have a beautiful orange colour and are ripe for picking. The light from an evening sun is shining from the right.
A photo of the forest floor. On the right is the grey trunk of a spruce and on the left the trunk of a fallen tree of the same kind. The area between the two trees is like a channel, filled with green leaves and grass, with light shining in from the back and highlighting the foliage. All over the ground are specks of orange, indicating that there are lots of cloudberries to find.
A closeup photo of blueberries. On the right side of the picture is a blueberry bush with three blueberries. The left side of the photo is a cloudberry leaf.
A closeup photo of a small white flower. The flower is only about 3 mm across. It's an eyebright (probably euphrasia rostkoviana subsp. fennica). The flower is shaped like a gaping maw and is mainly white. Inside the flower there are spots of yellow and dark purple. The flower sits almost at the top of a stalk of tightly clustered leaves, with other flowers space around the same stalk. In the background are lots of out of focus white dots, indicating that there are more flowers. The ground was absolutely covered with them.
