I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently?
And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
Lewis Carroll
Hiking in Denmark
Impressions from January
Old trees are like living cairns.
We can learn a lot from trees: they’re always grounded but never stop reaching heavenward.

The Winding Paths
Choose the winding paths on winter days, and nature comes close to you.
Didn’t I warn you?
Did I forget to warn you about
The physical well-being
The feeling of happiness
The joy
And of course
The urge for repetition
Even when it rains like today.
When the buzzard flies low over my head.
When a city person sits on the river bank in the pouring rain with his briefcase under the umbrella.
When a flock of starlings are exercising over the meadow.
When a pair of swans are wearing goggles. They certainly have their heads under water.
When the blackbird sits in the hedge humming spring songs in the middle of January.
Didn’t I warn you about being addicted to nature?

The List of Missing Treasures
I have an add-on to the list of missing treasures; the stolen Money Chest.
A stolen treasure consisting of the British army’s wages is reportedly buried under this old oak.
A treasure which has been there since the British laid siege to Copenhagen in 1807
The beech trees
I have never seen beech trees become so big. The trees form a tunnel which is wonderfully cooling on hot summer days.
When Darkness Come
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight…
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The Need of Nature
Nature doesn’t need people, it is people who need nature
Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.
It will never fail you.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Nature seems to have poured forth her
riches so without calculation,
merely to mark the fullness of her joy.
Margaret Fuller
