The strong, uplifting and life-giving light of spring never seems to disappoint me. We walk on narrow flooded paths between birch trees. The light is overwhelming and changes the landscape. Grasses turn golden, the white birch glow and the lake shows the wonder of a blue sky. Staggering!
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!’
This picture is from today’s walk. The most sunny minute of the day. Tomorrow there are warnings out for heavy rain all day. It would be nice to borrow Frodo’s gift from Galadriel: “A light to you in a dark place.” But the bog was wonderful and there was no sign of Gollum 😅😊
Have a happy time out there and leave only your footprint ❤️
The poem, There is nothing in the world as quiet as snow, was written by the author Helge Rode in 1886. The poem is quiet like the snow itself, offering us a new reality that is quiet, pure and gentle. *Højskolesangbogen
There is nothing in the world as quiet as snow, when it softly descends through the air, muffles your steps, hush, hushs gently on the voices that speak too loudly.
There is nothing in the world of a purity like snow, swan down from the white wings of heaven. On your hand a fluff is like a teardrop. White thoughts silently dance and sway.
There is nothing in the world that can soften like snow. Hush, you listen until the silent sounds. O, so fine a sound, Silver bell song Deep inside your heart is ringing.
Where did it go the little funny white throated dipper. I had no hopes of seeing the bird in this landscape. All I wanted was to enjoy the peace and the vast landscape along the stream. If I should catch sight of it and see it nodding and dancing, diving and flying low over the water then I would certainly be happy. But there were other more focused birders, with telephoto lenses so big they were squishing under the weight. I did not envy them in the cold. I hope they got what they came for. I got the joy of a wonderful white landscape 🤗
I can tell you that the Danish winter has changed significantly. And that probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone. What is interesting is that it has happened so quickly.
The pictures are from 2012 and since then it’s getting longer between the really hard winters! If you want to photograph snowy landscapes, you have to be quick with the camera.
Those snowy days on the pictures is every child’s wish for a real winter. It was indescribably beautiful and fun to be out and about.
