The simple joy of spring surprises me every year

Just a spring day in Lünen

The river Lippe is runnung through Lünen

It was just an ordinary work day. And I had my camera with me. And the weather was fantastic. Monday means I have to walk a bit between different work places, so that's for me the opportunity to see, to stand still and open my eyes.
And I walked another way along the river Lippe.
When I say this pictures on the computer I realy felt the need to keep on blogging. I don't know how often, but here it is.

Walking home

On my way back from work, again from the long and nice route. I like to step out from the tram some kilometers before my station and walk instead of sitting. This is so wonderful! Glad that I take this 45 Minutes to exercise and just for my pleasure.

Our World Tuesday

Signs in the forest

Where do you want to go?

On the Rothaarsteig, a famous trail in Nort-Rhine-Westphalia

Straight out of the window from a little hut

These stone piles remind me of Canada! Oh, I love them, because I love to remember our hiking there.

Signs, signs

We always have time enough, ...

...if we will but use it aright.
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

These are my last shots from 2013. I like to be in the forest and it is great to spend the time doing what you love.

Linking to ABC Wednesday with todays letter Y.
Y is for Year! O.k. not very original, but it fits for today, I think.

 Our World Tuesday

Moving stairway #4

Our World Tuesday is full of contrast

This is my favorite photo from the series. It reflects the contrast from going to the big city every day for work and my favorite free time activity spend in the forest. 

I like my work with people, manly children. And I like to visit the library and reading is one of my favorite while I commute or stay at home.

On the other side I like to go trekking, carry all my gear with me and sleep in the tent, the only people around me belong to my family. I get drinking water from little creeks, feel the wind, hear the sound of nature and breath deeply.

On my way back home

Linked to Sky Watch Friday. Sometimes it's better to shoot with a phone. This is from two weeks ago, now all is green, and now I carry the good camera around. Hope to show you something tomorrow.
