Well, this walk felt full of spring, because of the blue sky, the sun that gave warmth, the budding green on the trees and several shrubs that had started to flower (see my next photo). Happy Fence Friday!
The tree on the left is full of catkins - I think it's the Common hazel (Corylus avellana), which produces these male seeds from January on.
Earlier this week we had some unexpected snow. There are a couple of bridges like this one in our local nature reserve - just flat concrete slabs. You have to watch your step when crossing them at the best of times, but certainly on a day like this.
I wouldn't have liked to end up in the brook!
On another recent frosty morning, I noticed these dried wildflowers full of hoarfrost (you can see that when you zoom in on the stems). The grass and the barbed wire are still full of hoarfrost too.
Spotted in the nature reserve "Gemene Weidebeek" near Bruges.
Another view of my walk through the local nature reserve, on that frosty January morning - two weeks ago.
Though small, the nature reserve "Gemene Weidebeek" near Bruges is very beautiful, with trails along meadows, brooks, pools and over small hills. There are birds to be spotted. No wonder it's a popular place for walkers, though I didn't meet many on this morning, giving me lots of photo opportunities.
The overhanging trees and bushes in the distance form a visual tunnel through which the walking trail leads.
Happy Bench Monday too!
This is a nature reserve in one of the suburbs of Bruges, but yes, there are fences because cows graze on the meadows - when the weather gets better!
Another photo from that January morning when everything was frozen - even the wire fences.
Happy Fence Friday!
Happy Fence Friday with this photo of the local farm "Hoeve Hangerijn" in the fog, on that snowy morning. This is the farm where the Belgian horses live, the horses that I have often captured and that you can see in my next photo.

I loved the shape of these clouds, almost mimicking the trees, and then the tranquillity of the whole scene.
I hope you like it too.
Happy Fence Friday, and I hope you can enjoy this special day (November 1st, All Saints' Day).

Happy Fence Friday with a photo of the "Zwin" nature reserve and bird sanctuary, at the Belgian coast in Knokke-Heist.
Simonskall is a tiny village in the German Eifel region, situated quite close to Aachen and Düren. This is the Kremer Mühle, a watermill dating from 1622. It is one of the historic buildings in the village, situated along the mountain stream "Die Kall".

This is the full view of the Museum Gevaert-Minne in Sint-Martens-Latem, even though the building is partly hidden by mature trees. I have given further explanation about the museum under my previous photo. The artist George Gevaert designed the house for himself, his wife Maria Minne and their eleven children! He was not only a painter, but also a writer, a poet and a composer. Clearly a very active man!
The house is now a museum where Gevaert's works and works by other painters of the famous "School of Flanders" are on display.
