Sound of spring

Walking
through the woods
as many times before

Something is different

Winter
cold and quiet
has finally left

Sound of spring

Birds chattering
all around
such a happy feeling

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

Anemone hepatica (pink edition)

Spring is here and the first flowers are blooming here in Norway. Today I took a walk by the seaside along the Oslo fjord and found a lot of Anemone hepatica in the forest. The color of the flowers varies from white, all shades of blue to pink. The color variation is both due toe variation in the soil and genetics. Todays shot is of the pink variant of the flower.

Soon

Soon
very soon
I will take a walk
in the forest
follow the old paths
between the tall trees
pass the stone walls
climb up
to the top
enjoy the view
and feel
I belong to nature

Still

No sign of spring
winter lingers on
cold mornings
clear blue sky
nature covered in snow
ice builds bridges 
cross the creek
with running water
just a few more days now

March

My favorite month of the year. Finally the snow is melting and soon trees are budding and spring flowers will bloom. Nature comes to life again.

Awaiting

Ice covers the pond
like wrapping paper for
the frozen water plants
just beneath the surface

Sunbeam melts the ice
inch by inch unwrapping
again the pond gives life to
the frozen waterlily


Frozen water lily leaves (at Ble in Norway)

Hope in a droplet

Winter seems never ending
the days are short
no sunlight
and nights too long

Walking in the forest
dark and heavy clouds
a little droplet
catch my eyes

The beauty of the droplet
a little jewel on the sprouse
gives me hope
of brighter days to come

Winter mood II

Winter recolors the forest
from green and yellow
to all shades of black and white

Cold rocks on the forest ground
grey and edgy
softly reshaped by layers of white snow

Tree logs dark and grey
naked and cold
carrying a few golden leaves that didn't fall

Black running water in the little creek
dark and mysterious
framed in softly by the snow
