Unforgettable walks in the rugged mountains of Corsica in the month of May.
Newly sprouted beech trees, alpine violets in the forest floor, rippling streams. An adventure by nature❤️

Springtime
Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.

The Gift
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

The Unimaginable Mountain Lakes
We are walking, climbing and running down the mountainside and suddenly the lake is there. Indescribably beautiful.
We are silent for a moment. The moment must be kept, never forgotten.
Mountain lakes are wondrous. A reflection of sky and mountain.
A raven watch every step we take. The only sound is the cry of the bird while it is moving uneasily on a branch. Life is here and now.

A Feeling of Snow
The weather is cold as we enter a dark and almost eerie forest. Hesitantly, the snow begins to fall. Floating, fluttering snowflakes fall on trees, and moss. As if the snow doesn’t know the meaning of it.
Hours later, when I look over my shoulder on our way out of the forest I know the purpose. The forest has turned into a bright living adventure.
A homage to nature.

“There is nothing in the world so quiet as snow,
when it softly falls through the air,
muffles your steps,
lulls, lulls gently
the voices which speak too loudly.”1
Danish painter Peder Mørk Mønsted, Wood in Snow
Note
1 The danish author Helge Rode wrote the poem in 1886, There is nothing in the world as quiet as snow
