‘Fly bird, fly over the waves of Furesø’ is a poem by the Danish poet Christian Winther. It is one of his most famous and quoted poems. Lake Furesø is a source of eternal inspiration both then and today. The bridge is part of Chr. Winther’s Path.
I cannot think of a better smell than a bog on a summer’s day.

Wander a whole summer if you can…time will not be taken from the sum of your life. Instead of shortening, it will definitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal.

A walkabout in my neighbourhood bathed in sun and rain 🌧️🌤️ Sorry for the lack of rainy weather photos 😊
To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Today, I took a walk in the woods. The weather was constantly changing between heavy rain showers and sunshine. There was a brisk breeze that kept the mosquitoes away. Even though the nearest town wasn’t too far, I only encountered two people during my two-hour walk along lakes, bogs, meadows, and through beautiful trees of all shades of green. Perhaps people were deterred by the threat of rain and mosquitoes, or both? Either way, the beautiful sky made for a splendid sight on this lovely day.
Wishing all of you a happy Nature Walk ❤️
Once in a small green field, a group of ordinary cows grazed on grass all day. One day, while munching on clover, they noticed rabbits playing nearby. The cows plotted to become ambush predators, hiding behind bushes to catch the rabbits off guard. However, a premature “Moo!” gave them away. Despite repeated failed attempts, they eventually gave up, returning to grazing. One cow remarked, “Ambushing isn’t for us. Let’s stick to eating grass!” And so, they lived contentedly ever after, watching the rabbits play in the distance.
It was a truly inspiring experience to visit the Arboretum once again. Nature had quickly taken control over me, but not in a way that resulted in me getting entangled in wildly growing ivy 😊 Instead, it was the sweet fragrance of the flowers, the duckling-filled path, the bird’s harmonious singing atop the trees, and of course, the handkerchief tree that captured my attention.
The Arboretum in Hørsholm, Denmark is a large botanical garden and park located north of Copenhagen. It covers an area of 25 hectares and features a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and plants from around the world. The Arboretum was established in 1866 by King Christian IX and has since been expanded and developed into a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Visitors can explore the many winding paths and trails that wind through the park, as well as enjoy the peaceful and scenic surroundings. The Arboretum also hosts various events and activities throughout the year, making it a great place to visit for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Note
Davidia involucrata, commonly known as the dove-tree or handkerchief tree, is a deciduous tree native to China. It is best known for its large, white bracts that surround the small green flowers, resembling a handkerchief or a dove perched on a branch. This unique tree is prized for its ornamental value and is often planted in gardens and parks for its beautiful display of flowers. The dove-tree prefers moist, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is a slow-growing tree that can reach heights of up to 20-30 meters.
There is tranquility along the lake. Nearby the water, a beech tree stands reflecting its perfect leaves in the lake. That tree is a wonder ❤️😊
I went for a walk in the bog, but it was easier said than done. The water level is high in many places, and the bog is no exception. Other walkers had the same brilliant idea, and I had to walk far to find people with dry socks 😄 (Not meaning that I did!) It was highly entertaining for a small group who managed to balance on small wooden poles along the path. I managed to avoid falling into the bog, but I was attentive. Bogs should be treated with caution!! Even without will-o’-the-wisps 😊
