Spring is here! I went for a walk along the fjord, enjoying the pretty clouds and the sunshine. I found a lot of “blåveis”, a blue flower (common hepetica in English) which is a well known sign of spring in Norway but it doesn’t grow in Tromsø 😉 Geese are arriving in big numbers, there are buds on the trees – I love it 🙂
Today was a gloriously sunny day in Oslo, and I decided to go for a walk on the Bygdøy peninsula. There is a coastal path which goes around the whole peninsula, and there are some really nice beaches. Lots of people were out to enjoy the sunshine, there were even people having BBQ’s and picnics on the beach, with the children playing by the water – never mind that the fjord is frozen!! 😀 The atmosphere was really nice, and it made me long for summer 🙂 The sun was setting by the time I reached Paradisbukta – it was so pretty…
We had a lot of sunshine this weekend, but as I was knocked down by the flu, I haven’t been out at all. So instead, here are some photos from last weekend when I went went skiing near Rakkestad (Indre Østfold) with Marie and Pål. A beautiful area, with narrow tracks through the forest – quite a challenge for me (I am used to having lots of space 😉 ) which resulted in some bruises 😀 but it was a great day out! And an advantage of being out with Marie: I end up with some photos of myself 😀
