Reindeer at Gammlia part 2

 
Happy me with the reindeer :-)
2014-03-03. Now we had the Sami week and there were reindeers in the woods again. But this were not the same reindeer as I'm showing  in the page: "Reindeer part 1". The reindeer on these pictures belong to another Sami.
2014-03-03. This reindeer was so sweet. He was my favourite.
2014-03-03. Looking at me :-)
2014-03-03.  These reindeer were shy and it was better for them to be in the pasture.
2014-03-03. They laid down.
2014-03-03. I had a wonderful time with the reindeer.
2014-03-04. Today the Sami told me I could go in into the pasture so somebody could take a picture of me and the reindeer. But they were so afraid and did not come near me. They are in distance on the photo.
2014-03-04. The wooden reindeer is still in the woods. And the children like it to sit on it's back.
2014-03-04. Resting.
2014-03-04. A preschool (kindergarten) teacher came and the children could go in the pasture and feed them wiht lichen. I also was in the pasture. There were about 7 children. Only 2 of them on the picture but on long distance and from the backside. As I told before you may not publish children or others on the net on close -up pictures.

The man on the photo is a TV reporter. He should make a movie how the children fed the reindeer. But he did not succeed to get the reindeer and children together on a picture. They were too afraid to come near.

2014-03-04. The children had to throw the lichen to the reindeer. Here they are eating and you can see the lichen lying on the ground.
2014-03-04. The red colour on the reindeer is paint so they will recognize him.
2014-03-04. Still eating.
2014-03-04. I met some German people in the Sami house. They took pictures of me. He, he, me in the fog in the Sami house. :-)

No, my lens was misted over. But the picture became funny

2014-03-04. I had a special lens cloth with me. I know the lens can be misted over in winter. This picture is better.
2014-03-04. The Sami came with a trailer that has a freezer and a refrigerator. The can use electricity on the place they are selling. Here they are at Gammlia.

The name of the company is Lappland Viltprodukter AB.

2014-03-04. The man allowed me to use this picture of him in my page. There was so much good food. Also smoked fish.
2014-03-04. I bought frozen reindeer minced meat, frozen reindeer fillet and smoked reindeer meat. The smoke meat was in his refrigerator, but I cut  the smoke meat in some parts and put it in my freezer so I later can take a bit meat.
2014-03-05. Today I met another preschool teacher with children in the pasture. Also today we could throw lichen to reindeer. They were today not as sky as before. And I got my picture taken with the reindeer near me.  I was happy about this :-)
2014-03-05.
2014-03-05. The white reindeer was looking at me again. Maybe he understand that I liked him.
2014-03-05. Reindeer portrait.
2014-03-05.
2014-03-05.
2014-03-05. They now dare to come near the children.
2014-03-05. Lichen is yummy for the reindeer.
2014-03-05.
2014-03-05. The bird feeder at Gammlia.
2014-03-05. The Sami flag. It looks so nice and colourful
2014-03-05. This shelter with the reindeer skin and the fireplace was in "Winter Town" before. Now it may stand beside the Sami café.
2014-03-06. Also this day I was to the reindeer.
2014-03-06. The white reindeer who is my favourite was looking at me again.

I asked the Sami who owns the reindeer if the fur becomes white in winter. But the white reindeer are always white.

2014-03-06. This was the last day the reindeer were here. I said goodbye to them.
2014-03-06. I met a woman in a red hooded jacket in the Sami house. She was one of the staff at Gammlia. We talked and had fun
2014-03-06. I could warm myself by the stove. I had layers under my jacket. But standing still a long time by the reindeer made me feel frozen.
2014-03-06. Me standing in the Sami house. I told the red hooded woman that I had a lovely week with the reindeer.

And these picture are nice memories.
