lots of trees

December 19, 2019April 18, 2020 FebeLeave a comment

Up at 8, breakfast as usual, Arne searches for the name of the birds we saw yesterday on the higher snowy slopes, turns out they were bullfinches. They were too quick to photograph, but we remember the distinct coloration. Some doubt about what to do today.. we could go to one of the official winter… Continue reading lots of trees →

to the Vosges

December 15, 2019December 16, 2019 FebeLeave a comment

we have a five day holiday planned in the Vosges mountains in France and as usual it starts with lots of packing. For only the second time ever we've rented a studio instead of booking a hotel room, so the packing requires a bit more thought than usual. I did prepare and make a few… Continue reading to the Vosges →
