Autumn is closing in …

My October is clear crispy air, sunshine and the trees fireworks. It’s the trees gushing thanks for this year. October is fabulous.

“October had tremendous possibility. The summer’s oppressive heat was a distant memory, and the golden leaves promised a world full of beautiful adventures. They made me believe in miracles.”

~ Sarah Guillory, Reclaimed

Shaken and Stirred

Fierce gusts made it difficult for me to keep my balance – on the ground 🤣

But some surfers had a tremendous play with waves.

Several were captured by the wind and hang for a moment what looked like 3 to 4 meters above the sea.

By the Sea

By the Sea by Emily Dickinson is one of my favourite poems:

… And he – he followed close behind;
I felt his silver heel
Upon my ankle, – then my shoes
Would overflow with pearl …

What a great day it was today. Lots of wind and whitecaps ❤

My favourite kind of path

It may take a long time to walk along winding paths, but nature is close and you never know what is hiding behind the next turn.

A Great Day for Canoeing

A windy day with intense bursts.

Now We Are Talking Oak

The King Oak is the name of this tree and the age is between 1,500 and 2,000 years old.
A genuine Ent 😊

The tree is Northern Europe’s oldest oak tree, Quercus robur subsp. robur.

Green-Robed Senators

Those green-robed senators of mighty woods,
Tall oaks, branch-charmed by the earnest stars,
Dream, and so dream all night without a stir…

~ John Keats, Hyperion, Book I

When the oak is felled the whole forest echoes with it fall, but a hundred acorns are sown in silence by an unnoticed breeze.

~ Thomas Carlyle

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

~ James Allen

Summer Days Return

Travelling back in time

The horse-drawn carriages add a special atmosphere. It’s like travelling back in time.
