We set out for just a short walk, with some hope of making it longer. I think we got halfway. Toby was enjoying the walk the whole way. Passing the young cattle and continuing through the forest, we both walked in silence, having short moments of rest and contemplation.
Nature is explicably beautiful now… You have to possess the skill of a poet to express it. The fragrances, colours, activity, birdsong, everything expresses such a simple joy of life which is a blessing to be part of.
Those small, quiet and hidden moments are the ones I like the best…
I have lived my entire life in the countryside and have always been filled with wonder over nature, the life and the beauty. I live on a farm in Sweden in the middle of nowhere and since 2015 I have together with my sister taken over my parents farm. Here I try to combine all the things I love best: Be and work in nature together with my dogs, to sing and study and photograph, my catholic faith, and last but not least to contemplate and recognise "the extraordinary in the ordinary".
