November 14, 2008

Today started off cold and gray. It ended up cold with a big blue sky. My youngest daughter and son went on a walk with me this afternoon. We walked a little and then we sat on a bench with an incredible view (shown above). The sun warmed our bodies and I hope it [...]

Sun and snow

October 30, 2008

It is so beautiful that I find myself stopping several times during a short walk to try to take it all in. It isn’t just me that has slowed down with the arrival of the snow. My children can’t walk without diving into the snow every few yards or wading knee deep before they stop [...]

An afternoon in the city

October 22, 2008

We took the train to Bienne on Sunday. It was nice to get out of the Jura for the day. We didn’t actually visit Bienne much but walked to Nidau which touches Bienne. We ate sandwiches by the fountain in Bienne before walking to Nidau. A leaf caught in a web. It looks [...]

Solothurn (Soleure), Switzerland

October 16, 2008

We visited Solothurn at the end of June but I never got around to sharing it. Each time I would remember there was something else that I wanted to post or I would forget for months at a time. Here are some images from that day at the end of June when the weather was [...]

First snow

October 4, 2008

We have our first snow even if fall just started. It is coming down in big white flakes. Beautiful. Last year, it didn’t snow until November the 9th. However, I was told by someone that it can snow as early as September. Winter is long here while spring and fall are short and sweet. Summer [...]

Les Breuleux to Tramelan (Part II)

September 30, 2008

The photos in this post were taken from the forest near La Chaux-de-Breuleux until near La Pied d’or. We started our walk in Les Breuleux and continued on until Tramelan as I wrote in my last post. We found this drawer with a riddle inside during one of our walks last summer. I asked the girls [...]

Les Breuleux to Tramelan by foot

September 29, 2008

Sunday, we walked from Les Breuleux to Tramelan buying our train tickets one way each direction. We do it this way because we never know where we will end up. A general plan is laid out and then we decide where to end based on how we (the children mostly) feel. I recommend doing it [...]

Random images from my day

September 20, 2008

I love refections in windows and flowers in window sills. This photo has both. Underside of a roof. I like when the underside is painted with an image or design. Very old sign with Helvetia written on it. There is the faint image of a sewing machine above the lettering but it is almost impossible [...]

Singing in the rain

September 14, 2008

We took a walk in the rain yesterday. I drug out the winter coats for the kids which are waterproof and warm. With the rain it is starting to get cold outside. Last night, we shut our bedroom window for the first time in months. What the mountains look like during a light [...]

Goumois

September 1, 2008

Goumois is a little special. Why, you may ask? Well, Goumois is two villages. One is French and the other is Swiss. The villages are divided by the Doubs River with a bridge joining them. Before the Treaty of Vienna Goumois was one village but afterwards it was separated into two. The two villages [...]
