…for the end of the week. These lavender buds caught my eye the other day and I thought they’d make a colourful decoration for my blog.

Or, please mind your head!

I love stumbling across scenes like these. For me they are relics of a by-gone era and a reminder of how different life once was – more sedate, a little more refined but certainly less convenient than our modern comfortable existence.

“The woods were in their winter sleep,
Rocked in that repose divine
On the wind-swept Apennine;
And dreaming, some of Autumn past,
And some of Spring approaching fast,
And some of April buds and showers,
And some of songs in July bowers,
And all of love; and so this tree.”

— To a Lady, With a Guitar by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Or should it be “Mad sheep and Swiss photographers?”

When I took this picture it was -10 degrees and there was no one else around, only me and the sheep… and as far as I’m aware, the sheep didn’t have a choice ;)

— Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince

When I took this photo a few weeks ago this is what the landscape in Switzerland looked like -  However bandwidth issues prevented me from posting for a while… and now spring is in the air!

If you’ll indulge me, I invite you to reminisce and enjoy my winter landscape series ;)
