Last weekend’s walk in Eschweiler Wald featured toads, butterflies (hard to photograph, very fast ones!) trees, birds and fresh spring water. A moment to free our minds and rinse our souls.. Enjoy!

Our current backyard situation.. Daisies and daffodils. Sounds like a very mellow sixties rock band. How is spring looking where you are?

This weekend Mr E and I revisited a circular walk in Langerwehe, (Eifel), one which we first discovered a summer ago. It was.. different. Darker. Wilder. More raw. The winter storms have claimed their toll. It made our walk quite a bit more adventurous than expected.

First walk of spring – it’s been too long with the winds! – along route A1 in Wurmtaler Wald. I’m happy to report that spring is indeed springing, birds are already singing, and ‘our’ poplar of Pley has bravely weathered the storms. Enjoy! What are your favourite walking spots?

When nothing is taken for granted.. We’ll grow to appreciate. Love. Nature. Life. From our walk in Hürtgenwald. Hang in there. And feel free to reach out if you can use a virtual ear.

Sunshine, crisp air and fresh green leaves – it felt almost like a springtime walk. January 2020 – Wurmtal walking route A1. Enjoy!

We went out to the woods for a mini-shoot in the forest today (in order to prepare for this summer’s MoveSpiration weekend) and.. It was fun. It was hard. It was chilly. I struggled. It took us nearly till the end of the walk (and the last drops of sunshine!) to get me to relax.… Read More Forest Fotoshooting

Every time we (re)visit our beloved Eschweiler wald, we discover nee things, and rediscover familiar ones. Even though it is the ‘same’ place. It changes. We change. We never walk in the same forest twice, we never walk the same path twice. How have you changed during this year? What has been changed for you?
