I went exploring yesterday in a new area which was dismal. Still brown and grey and no colours anway. But the overgrown path looked as if it wanted to suck me into a tunnel.
The only thing that hinted at the end of winter were the little white blooms on the blackthorns, the earliest bloomers in the woods.
Yet there was something in the air that promised more colours to come (see the hint of blue in the sky?).
The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Out in Nature

When we meet up with our group on Sundays, we follow a pre-laid trail. Once in a while we encounter a sign spelling SV. SV stands for “scenic view”. This normally signifies a look over a sweeping landscape. Occasionally it might also be an idyllic scene, a pond or a clearing or possibly a monument.
This Sunday it was neither sweeping nor idyllic, it was just odd.
There were wooden figures but embellished with odd toys and artificial flowers and strange artifacts. The wooden figures were stern and bleak, the additions however, were kind of menacing: a doll left in the weather looks scary after even a few days.
It was a really weird place.

The forest on the northern side of the river Neckar near Heidelberg.
And the forest on the other of the Neckar with the hotel above the Heidelberg Castle called Molkenkur.

No winter wonderland.
Yet undeniably winter in the woods.
And then – another walker spotted.
But he is not alone.
Then the inevitable happens.
