When the sun shines hot and ..

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:  when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”
–  Charles Dickens 

Bring a Bowl of Bugs and Spiders, Please!

They all came to see the ducks! Two mandarin ducks. Brightly colored! And very rare in Denmark.

I got a few pictures and left again. After all, I could end up in the water among the ducks. There was crowded on the narrow nature trail 🤗

On the way to my bike there was a slight movement in the green moss.
There he was, Robin.

It was, as if he said: “Haven’t you gone wrong?
It’s the two big glamorous ducks they all want to see. Well, you’ve seen them! And you’d rather look at me?”

Yes, I thought so when I saw Robin flip and spin and finally fly down in front of me.

Robin was a top model that day, he was awesome. What do you pay Robin per hour. I should have had my pockets full of crispy fresh insects 😊 Or a bowl of bugs and spiders.

Closer to Nature

The weather is cold and grey. The rain is pouring down. What’s the point in going outdoors? I did and if you go close enough you’ll see many colours, amazing shapes and birds.

This post is back from 2016 but the condition is unchanged 😊

‘… Grasshoppers, birds, fish and plants live
With natural colours as protection forever!
Chameleons are something different though
Capable of changing colours as to situation!

Even seasons have colours for a change
Winter darkness, summer brightness,
Autumn brownness and spring greenness
Indeed are beautiful and inspiring all lives!

Refraction of colourless water reveals 7 hues
As seven colours of rainbow at the raining times!’

The Need of Positive Stories

I need positive stories and I’m not getting them from the news.

January 2023 is the hottest and wettest month on record. Fields are under water and inflation presents many people with challenges. And sadly there is a war going on too.
That’s for Europe alone! Oh! I forgot the Corona scourge.

January is a dark month, particular with the absent of snow.
So I need positive stories and nature doesn’t fail!

Yesterday I saw the little white-throated dipper. It was in a good mood. That’s my own opinion 😉😊 The bird had taken up residence on a rock, if it wasn’t walking around the bottom of the fast-flowing stream in search of spring fly larvae and other goodies.
The bird nodded and preened its feathers and tilted with its tail. Quite a ballet, I think.

The white stag and the white-throated dipper are my crown jewels.
Though the green mosses that light up on fallen trees in the forest floor are marvellous too.
The trees are allowed to stay to support birds with food, they find in cracks and under the bark.

And I forgot all the nice people who are out enjoying nature too. The good talks, many smiles and the enthusiasm! It is uplifting.

Nature is incredible, enchanting, stimulating, sublime, extraordinary, staggering, impressive…

Happy Walks ❤️

A Sunny Winter Day

The deer are lying in the grass. People are free and enjoying a walk in the sun.

A sea eagle circles high above, but disappear in the absence of prey.

Fantastic day after a Christmas with dark clouds and rain.
The chill factor is minus 1 degree. I think about how much the factor is when cycling. But there’s no reason to dwell on the cold, so I rush off to be sheltered by the woods 😊
