Limited contact walking

· 2 Comments ·

We can’t go far because of the rules for social distancing (which is a misnomer, really, physical distancing would be a better name for it) but we are allowed out of the house to go for a walk or to go shopping.  We can go for a walk in the company of persons from the same household.  So we combined grocery shopping and driving a small distance to go for a walk in the local woods.  The trees are still bare and the ground is covered with brown leaves from last autumn but looking a bit closer one can find the first fresh green leaves and also flowers, in this case heath violets, pilewort, and wood anemone.  I’m not quite sure how the grape hyacinth got into that part of the woods but there it was.

2008 riddle

For Six Word Saturday.  More six words and accompanying photos are only a click away.

 

And I need to add this German children riddle song:

Auf unsrer Wiese gehet was, watet durch die Sümpfe.

Hat ein schwarz-weiß Röcklein an, trägt auch rote Strümpfe.

Fängt die Frösche, schnapp, schnapp, schnapp.

Klappert lustig, klapperdiklapp.

Wer kann das erraten?

 

Something walks in our meadow, wading through the marshes.

It wears a frock that’s black and white,

and also wears red stockings.

It catches frogs, snap, snap, snap.

It clacks merrily, clack, clack, clack.

Who know what this could be?

32 paths a (640x480)

Snow was last year.  I wish we had some more real cold winter weather like we used to have.
32 paths b (640x480)

But even after miserable winters, spring will come again.  Even in black and white I can “see” the verdant meadows and the colourful flowers.
