Winter fungus

In Norway the mushroom season mainly last from July to October. But there are mushrooms to be found during winter too. Now, in January you can find edible mushrooms in the forest. Flammulina velutipes, winter fungus, grows on dead trees and looks quite beautiful growing together with green moss. Some trees are fully covered with this mushroom. It is fantastic to see that a dead tree can give new life to edible mushrooms year after year.

December feeling

Into the woods
a cold day in December 
the old trees covered
with white frost
Feels just like
walking into a fairy tale
acknowledging the beauty of winter
and the good vibes of Christmas

Water

Water is an amazing element

turning into beautiful crystals and frozen droplets

decorating the dead leaves and plants in the forest

and giving them new life and beauty

during the cold winter season.

It is a wonderful thing that snow crystals

floating slowly through the air

is the element water

frozen into perfectly shaped stars and flowers

each and everyone different from each other.

Silent season

Winter is beautiful.

The landscape and the forest is covered in snow making patterns you haven’t seen before. A chaotic but systematic pattern sprinkled with golden leaves, just to amaze you.

Winter is the silent, colorless and dark season. Different from the colorful and noisy autumn.

Nature now rests until spring arrive.
