No winter wonderland.
Yet undeniably winter in the woods.


And then – another walker spotted.
But he is not alone.


Then the inevitable happens.

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.

An outing into the woods to savour the little bit of snow we had during the last couple of days.

First the road, leading up into the hills.

Light and shadow playing on the surface.

A path branching off.

Walking amongst the trees.

Snow crackling under the feet.

The path circling a hill.

And leading back to the road and the parking.
