*snowless

In between some snowless days. The colors – so soothing – and the warmer wind brought overtones of springtime with it. Even some spring birds were hearable and it made me aware again what a wonderful creation the four seasons are.

*a frozen world

As thou hast created me out of mingled air and glitter,

I thank thee for it.

{Friedrich Rückert}

Wie aus Duft und Glanz gemischt Du mich schufst,

Dir dank' ich's heut.

*winter joy

I'm really happy with this years winter! That it is not only wet and dark – we have also some snow and days when everything is covered in frost. It's like experiencing the whole landscape anew.

I had my sister here for a few days,  and I'm very grateful that I didn't have to grow up as an only child!

*hello 2017

Hello 2017!

Wondering what this new year will bring!

I'm happy with the low temperatures - right now it is gently snowing.

Did you make any New Years resolutions? I am a fan of new beginnings, so I always like the idea of seeing the new year as a fresh start. I used this opportunity to start a new journal to write down ideas, plans and thoughts and to keep track about certain things. Anyway, I hope you are all fine and I also wanted to thank everybody who sent me a Christmas card this year! I appreciate it a lot!
