Norwegian November

Winter can be a beautiful time with frosted leaves and and a drizzle of light snow over the green moss. But often it is heavy rain and constant lack of color. The sunrise is late in the morning and the sunset is early in the afternoon. But sometimes the sun shines and the trees covered with frost sparkles in the sunshine.

If you walk slowly and take time to notice your surroundings you will find colors or beautiful details like in the photos below. The little mushroom surprised by the first snow and a frosty night. A forgotten red apple outside an abandoned house and the ice crystals on the dry, brown fern leaves.

Colors of spring

This winter felt like an eternity. It was cold, dark and too much snow. The winter was beautiful, yes, but every thing that lasts too long becomes kind of boring.

In Norway spring normally starts in April, but the snow kept coming and the winter seemed endless. Finally in May the temperature rised and the snow started to melt. And then everything happened in a higher speed than I am used to, nature exploded.

Just the other day I took a little hike in the little forest just outside my garden and the blueberry flowers were in full bloom. So spring arrived late this year, but now everything is just fine.

Curled up

Amazing fern
all curled up
protecting all its leaves
in a swirl

Beautiful fern
all leaves unfolded
showing its true beauty
like a fan

The color green

The color green
so important
what would life be
without

The color green
so missed
through winter
dark

The color green
so full of hope
when nature
awakes

Through the green woods
