Clouds gather, it will rain but the sun breaks through the clouds. Wind blows, it’s getting darker although it is just about 3.00 p.m. A majestic sky, a moment of contemplation.

WINTERSKY
At the end of the day light is fading. But what a sight, a winter sky. Colors of blue, orange and white above a dark landscape of pine tree. The dark days of winter are still there but these moments of spectacular lights in the sky are amazing. Don’t stay inside, even if the days look dark and sad. Nature will surprise you, just open your eyes.

GREAT WHITE EGRET
The day after Christmas a white surprise (no it wasn‘t snowing) was foraging in a meadow. A great white egret searching for food. And it seems that there was enough of it. The white bird stretched its neck frequently to hunt for its prey. Nature is exciting.

WILD HORSES
The call of geese sound above the clouds of mist. You hear them but you can’t see them, until the mist gets a little bit thinner and the characteristic V-shape flight pattern of these magical birds become visible. A wonderful encounter on a misty morning.
On the plain some wild horses are galloping, a deep distant sound of trembling hooves, the sound of wild horses

A RAINY DAY
A wet day, a rainy day what’s the difference. Well the first one all is wet the second one is wet as well but it is also coming out of the sky. And in spite of all the water surrounding you, the landscape is serene. A quiet, beautiful place where nature welcomes you. So go outdoors and enjoy.

HEN HARRIER
After a day or two with snow, rain made it disappear. A few spots of white are left. And after a night of frost it is still there this morning.
In the distance a Hen Harrier is hunting. It flies just a meter or so above the ground; mice beware. A beautiful bird of prey on a sunny and cold winters day.

A SUNNY DAY – 9 December 2012
Tonight it was very cold and yesterdays snow crystals were even bigger. Everywhere the sunlight sparkled on the crystal mirrors of ice. A beautiful world, more friendly under en blue sky. A wonderful world of snow.
ANOTHER WHITE DAY – 8 December 2012
Weather warnings were given on radio and television. Snow and wind a combination for high snow expectations. And so it was. Wind blew and snow fell and covered everything. A magical but icy world. Nobody was in the forest and on the heather but is was amazing. Cold, snow pinching your face, but exciting to be there in a world of ice and snow.
FIRST SNOW – 4 December 2012
Today fist snow has fallen and at the same time it is melting. The forest is wet, white and deserted. But in spite of the cold and very wet atmosphere its it makes you smile.
