*the ground under my feet & the little gifts of life


Finally got my summer pictures developed!
That moment after many weeks unable to leave home, when I made my first steps into nature. The sky was moody, the swallows flying low, the ground under my feet felt never better, I had to feel earth with my whole body, a short moment of forgetting all the recent tortures.

Last weekend, we visited one of my favorite forest areas – a place we hadn't been to in six years! The gifts of life are unpredictable and so it happened that just as we started our walk, a dog suddenly began to follow us. We could not spot his owner, so we went along. The dog jumped ahead of us, but always turned back to wait for us – for example when we slowed down to take a picture of the landscape. He happily ran back to us, tail wagging, and in this way he accompanied us for the entire walk. It was wonderful! At the end of the trail, as we passed a snack stall, the dog trotted inside and that's when we finally knew where he had come from.
