No rain day

We had a big blue sky and warm sun. It is about time! To celebrate we took a walk. Make a wish. See! BIG. BLUE. SKY. The meadows are filling up with Swiss wild flowers. I love this time of year here. A horse’s nose. He was so friendly I couldn’t get a good shot. [...]

Walk this way…

May 16, 2010

We took an hour walk around the village before lunch. It was a bit chilly outside. We hope that soon it will be warmer. No matter, the walk was still perfect. All images are clickable to view larger. A ant colony that we have watched for three years through all the seasons. It is as [...]

Walking with my son

May 11, 2010

My son and I took over an hour and half walk today. We walked around the village and a little outside of the village. A few drops of rain forced us to pull up our hoods of our coats time to time. Mostly, it was clear and perfect for walking. We stood for several minutes [...]

Spring air

April 18, 2010

We got a walk in yesterday. It was so nice. The kids rode their bikes and they loved it. We were headed home full of happiness only to be told by someone that they didn’t get their bike out today because it was too cold. She actually told me that with my kids riding along [...]

I am a happy girl.  :) In celebration of the lovely weather, we took a walk today up a little mountain road near our village. It [...]

Random photos from our walk today

February 21, 2010

When I opened the windows to air out the apartment this morning I could smell spring. It smelled so good outside and the sun was so warm on my face. I knew right then and there that we HAD to take a walk. So, we did. It felt great to be out in the mountains [...]

Snow walk

January 31, 2010

The snow is starting to get deep here. Each time it snows a new layer is added. The kids joke that they can swim in it. What is funny is that when I walk on the snow it feels like walking on a sandy beach with shoes on. It takes an effort to walk through [...]

Snowy white

January 19, 2010

The last bit of our snowy walk I shared with you in my previous post.  Sadly, the trees are no longer covered in snow.  Shimmering frost does cover the trees every morning which kinda makes up for it.

Berry Beautiful day

August 23, 2009

Yesterday, we went looking for blackberries. We found them in the forest above our village but we must wait a few more weeks until the berries are ripe. We did find some red berries but didn’t know if we could eat them or not. We decided to leave them rather than risk it. I really [...]

Inside were Swiss-German tourist. They are always polite and [...]

The beauty of Saturday

June 13, 2009

We walked over four hours today (mostly up the mountain). It was hotter outside than we used to so the walk was not an easy one. What it was… It was completely beautiful. Here’s a peak.

Sunday, we walked from La Ferrière to Renan.  We went over the mountain and took a short cut through the forest over Renan.  I will share the photos from the forest and the city of Renan tomorrow.   This photo was taken just outside of La Ferrière. I saw right away that this was going to [...]
