Early Morning - A Walk With Nature - Northern Europe...

(All Photos by Tavarua)

Waking up - another great day - a moth on the window...

"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."
- Marcus Aurelius


Today a walk with nature...


After breakfast in the old library...


The sun is rising...


Shadows from the old trees - reflections of the past... 


The air is cold and crisp...


Some frost on the ground...


"Society speaks and all men listen, mountains speak and wise men listen."

- John Muir



"If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not knowing, life would not be worth living."
- Henri Pioncera




"Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more."
- Vincent van Gogh


"Nature is beneficent. I praise her and all her works. She is silent and wise. She is cunning, but for good ends. She has brought me here and will also lead me away. She may scold me, but she will not hate her work. I trust her.”

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


Sculptured by nature - a simple leaf of beauty...






Another evening and a walk in the park.
