Thursday Thoughts – The Many Colours of Winter

Winter deserves its name this year – Winter in its real meaning that is. We had -20 degrees C for several days and these images show something of how cold that was.

Still, grasses and plants in this garden offers warmer winter colours.

Back to the real thing – I cannot help loving it!

Today we had another snow storm and another 10 cm snow. In fact I cannot remember when we had so many weeks of winter without thaw and rain in between. But, I admit that I prefer temperatures closer to -10 instead of -20…

Thursday Thoughts – Driving Home

I just wanted to send you some winter magic we found along the road last week.

It was darkening fast, so – the quality might not be perfect…

…but who can just pass by these without stopping for a photo?

Thursday Thoughts – An (extra)ordinary morning

Frosty mornings are a joy. I walk in the garden, taking in the soft light…

…then I feed the birds, who are patiently waiting for me. If I am late, the little blue tit is the first one to sit on my window sill, pecking on the window and reminding me he is hungry.

Our national bird is the Blackbird, and I have several of them living in my garden. Favourite food? Apples. They get some every day.

Then it’s time for a walk with Milo. We walk just around the corner, crossing a couple of streets to find the path into the forest.

An ordinary day being extraordinary because of the frosty light. Both Milo and I hope we will get some more of this before winter is over.
