A Summer’s Day

A Wonderful Tree Performance
The wood shavings sprinkled over me from the tall fir trees. Every time I stood still and looked up, everything became still.
After a short time it sounded like this: Chop, chop, chop, chop, and then I noticed the woodpecker sitting in the firs.*
Today is the first real day of spring! A wonderful ‘tree show’ and the sweet sound of woodpeckers. Whoopee! 😊
My own picture, with the two woodpeckers, appears in ‘Bevar Møllen ved Stampen‘, June 2015. The second image of ‘Den Store Flagspætte’, Dendrocopos major, is generated using AI.
It is believed that when you hear the call of a woodpecker, it is a message from nature urging you to be aware of the opportunities and changes happening in your life.
Having wood shavings sprinkled over me is an exquisite sign 🎈😎
*My picture of the woodpecker today wasn’t good enough, so I chose my old picture from 2015. Woodpeckers have a thing for moving 😂
The Silence of Nature on a Spring Evening.
The path winds between lakes. Sky hastingly changing colour. A swan moves through the water looking for bread?
I realize I’m not breathing. I want to remember the sounds of nature.
The mournful whistle of the Bullfinch. Ducks chatter quietly. Tit birds are chirping high up in the trees.
The sounds of nature on a spring evening.
Out and about ..
I’ve been out and about in the neighbourhood.
I’m happy to announce that the colours are evolving for the annual fireworks 🙂 🎉

Old trees are like living cairns.
We can learn a lot from trees: they’re always grounded but never stop reaching heavenward.

The notion of an oak tree
They are celebrating National Tree Week in England from 24th November – 2nd December 2018. What a great idea.
I think England has a lovely tradition celebrating their trees. That gives hope for the future.
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way.
Some see Nature all ridicule and deformity, and some scarce see Nature at all.
But to the eyes of the man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.
William Blake, 1799, The Letters.

A tree is a tree – how many more do you need to look at.

The Oldest Oak in Northern Europe
We did this walk, while the heat wave swept across Denmark!
I’ve read about hiking trips in Corsica. “GR 20 – the toughest long distance trail in Europe”.
It’s mountainous terrain, but the biggest challenge is to get enough water.
Here comes my point; I craved for water on this walk in Denmark.
The planned route is about 10 kilometers. But it felt like 20 kilometers a least.
Just like a hike on the GR 20 at the end of the stages –
The reason for our visit was three very old oaks, the oldest of which is still alive.
King-Oak is the name of the tree and the age is between 1,500 and 2,000 years old.
A genuine Ent!
Northern Europe’s oldest oak tree, Quercus robur subsp. robur.

Don’t forget your lunch and lemonade and leave only your footprints behind ❤

Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring
Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky,
How beautiful it is?
All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness
There is a poem, there is a song.
Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring.
When the spring comes, it again fills the tree with
The music of many leaves,
Which in due season fall and are blown away.
And this is the way of life.
Krishnamurti
