Spring is here!!

Yesterday I took Aprils photos. As you see there is a major change in nature and a lot of water. As usually it will be some familiar sites and some new. First I want to show you a better picture of the statue I love so much.

I have realised that the ally might not be so wonderful it usually is as I now can see exactly how many trees and branches they have taken down. Someone must have gotten a chainsaw for Christmas. They have taken down not just very old and ill trees but, as it seems, younger ones too.

Last Saturday we could go under the motorway (E4), not Sunday and a week later this has been put up.

And the path looked like this!

Stella and I took the road that crosses over instead and when we reached the meadow I saw some thing I have not seen during all the years I have walked this way. The meadow was covered with water. No one is going to convince me that it’s because of the beaver.

Talking about the beaver. The trees he/she so carefully chosen to chew on the human with a chainsaw had taken down. Why can’t people sometimes let nature have a go. A friend told me that it is a few years since the beaver had been seen. Even in the forest there is more water than I have ever seen and on places that normally hasn’t been soaked or soggy.

I have never before seen this spring before.

A path that leads into the forest.

This is the spot were we last week couldn’t walk and instead had to head out on the dirtroad. I must say I thought it would be really bad and was hugely surprised to see it a bit soft and soggy but never less nearly as usual.

One of the locks is open, letting as much water as possible pass, creating a massive commotion in the river. The islands have more or less been covered by water. I have a strong feeling this will continue.

On the opposite side it was completely different.

This is one of the places I have taken a photo every time. Right now you can't see the stones but just wait a month or so.

And see what a stone can do.
