I had a nice walk by the lakes. Not the lakes that glorify Northern England, but 25 wonderful small lakes and ponds in Denmark.
Spring gets better year by year 🤗
“Walk lightly in the spring; Mother Earth is pregnant.”

Happy walk and remember your packed lunch! 🙂
“Whatever you do, you need courage.
No matter which course you decide on, there is always someone telling you that you are wrong.
Difficulties always arise that tempt you to believe that your critics are right.
Mapping a course of action and following it to the end requires something of the same courage that a soldier needs.
Peace has its victories, but it takes courageous men and women to win them. “
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their endings.”
~ J.R.R. Tolkien
If I want peace within, I’ll go to the sea.* It performs miracles.
I even found eider ducks in spring mood.
Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.
~ Hermann Broch
I wanted freedom, open air and adventure. I found it on the sea.
~ Alain Gerbault
The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
~ Jacques Yves Cousteau
If there’s heaven for me, I’m sure it has a beach attached to it.
~ Jimmy Buffett
*In lack of mountains!
Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.
~ Doug Larson
Are you planning your own walks?
The very best trips are the ones I plan myself because the attention I have in the planning is aroused when I walk the route.
For me, the attention is what makes the journey a wonderful adventure.
Such a walk was the spring trip on foot to Dronningmølle along Esrum lake.
I traveled by train into Denmark’s oldest forest, Gribskov and started my trip between spruce and beech trees. The sun was shining and the air flickered as the fog rose into the air.
Many hours later, I boarded a train in the late evening hours with an overwhelming sense of joy over nature.
Happy Adventures and Leave Only Your Footprints Behind ❤️
Note
My most attentive readers may have read about this walk before. I hope you enjoy it this time too 🙂
The beach, the sea, the sky and the wonderful light. What a gift it is ❤
“The sea is as near as we come to another world.”
~ Anne Stevenson
“At the beach, life is different. Time doesn’t move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.”
~ Sandy Gringas
“To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.”
~ Jeanne Moreau
“You will love the ocean. It makes you feel small, but not in a bad way. Small because you realize you’re part of something bigger.”
~ Lauren Myracle
