I met some reindeers going and comming from Sweden. That is just by the road crossing the mountains, so the photos are not that great. I did not expect to meet any female reindeers with their almost newborn calves. These calves are borne after I went with the reindeer herders during the spring migation by the end of April, which I made posts about that time. It was such a great exprerience, and it was nice to see the calves. But the reason I saw them now is that it is still so much snow in the high mountains that the herds come down to search for food, that is anything green after the tough and very long winter.



Wow. How cool is that.
So cute, how great that you got to see them!
Amazing!! The babies are so adorable (:
You are lucky! Beautiful creatures
Those babies are adorable. I agree with Mimo and Sally – you’re very lucky to get to see them (in the wild).
Oh wow! Lucky you to get such shot
Thanks for sharing this beautiful moment.
I’ve never seen on in the wild. COOL!!!
awwwwwww…they’re wonderful! Thank you SO much for posting these images
When we were in Norway about 10 years ago we were on the road going from Roros to Selbu and came over a hill. There was a herd of about 100 reindeer with a lot of babies, some still unsteady on their feet, all over the road and on both sides. It was so thrilling and beautiful to see them.
That’s actually the same place were I met these reindeers!
So that must be a natural migration route to and from the summer pastures! That’s pretty thrilling. But I’m a bit worried about the health of those babies, if the mothers aren’t getting enough food to produce milk …
Adorable!
That’s wonderful, Bente…I’ve never seen baby reindeer before…thank you.
What a great opportunity! Nice captures.
It’s a fine time of year when the little ones appear, isn’t it? We just saw our first fawn (white-tailed deer) this week.
How exciting to get to see the baby reindeer! Thank you for sharing the photos…
How wonderful to see this for real.
They are very cute little fellows!
Very cute
Never seen a picture of the young versions.
A fabulous encounter to have, not just with the gorgeous very new calves, but with reindeers. I’m glad you saw them, thought to take photos (for us of course…) and shared
It’s always a great experience to see reindeers in nature. I love it and thanks for the great photos you took!
Lovely Bente. I think these are wonderful shots.
Brief it may have been but at least you did have ‘a brief encounter!’
How lucky were you! Fabulous photos especially with the calves. As always thank you for sharing.

Adorable creatures Bente!
So cute
This is nature with a great N!
Nice to see this calves and their mothers.
Wonderful this chance meeting! Don’t fret about the quality of the photo’s I think it’s great you could capture those reindeer at all.
Now you know where to set up and wait next year.
. Thank you for the beautiful images!
These are great shots! So neat that you drove into the scene!
It’s all been said already, but beautiful images of what must have been a wonderful experience for you.
Wat a beautiful images! We don’t have raindeers over here. That would be a big surprise if they would walk on the streets over here
I’m so glad you shot these pics. Growing up around wildlife is now a privilege instead a way of life, and when you shared this simple beauty and I read the comments that followed, I realized, even more, that you are giving many people eyes they’ve never had. What a wonderful gift for you to bring to WordPress.
Always thankful,
Meredith
Haven’t seen a reindeer in the wild for years – not since living up in Northern Canada a very long time ago. Wonderful!
Great shots. I don’t get to see this where I am.
They are so lovely… Thank you dear Bente you captured so nicely, love, nia
I love reindeer – was hoping to see them in east Iceland as they do come right up to the road at this time of year but no such luck.
Vem bryr sig om det är en hög bildkvalitet när de ser renarnas ungar? Gulliga renar.
Jag har sett renar och myskoxar i norra Sverige, men när jag besökte Narvik sà var det endast älgar pà vägarna fràn Tärnaby… Men jag har aldrig sett renungar i vilt tillstànd… Däremot älgkor med kalvar när jag promenerade i skogen med min collietik… Det som jag minns bäst är när jag sàg lodjursungarna…
Sköt om dig
I wish I could have been there
Lovely post!
How precious and exciting!
Oh, they are just precious! I hope they found some green stuff to eat!
Beautiful animals, greetings.
Wonderful, Bente!
Perfect, Bente!
