" ...though we travel the world to find the beautiful,
we must carry it with us, or we find it not "

Snow is in the air...




Yes! Many kilometres and many hours of geese-counting now behind me, autumn now here, and winter approaching. The days are drawing in - fast. You see the difference in the the light daily. But it's great to have cooler weather, (the dog appreciates it, at any rate...) and I am really looking forward to winter now (compared to 'sort-of-not' a few weeks back).

We have had fresh snow at 800m recently. I was in the National Park, hiking with Dovre, the other weekend. Ah! Nothing quite a magical as fresh snow on the peaks, striking autumn sunlight, blueberries for breakfast, and snow flurries in the air....
