Discovering France and Switzerland in spring

My love turned into spring windstorm –
Into spring windstorm – my madness into storm –
Into storm – my ecstasy into dreamy thrill –
Into dreamy thrill – spring of May into roses. –
From windstorm my new love flows –
New love – from storm frenzy will explode –
Frenzy will explode – dream will bring up ecstasy,
Spring will rise from a rosy bath.

Spring is here! After a not so fierce winter we got to experience flowers and bird songs pretty early this year. I am happy at this time of year because it means that we are able to make more walks and trips, thus getting to know different places. So here are some of the photos we took this spring.

Discovering France and Switzerland in winter

It seems like the winter is over (with the temperatures ~18 dg C.) so it’s time for a winter photo post. This year there were not so many occasions for taking proper winter shots. The ones that look truly cold and winterish are taken in the mountains. Nevertheless, the springish photos taken in December and January look nice too 🙂

Discovering France and Switzerland in autumn

I did a similar post about summer (check it out here). This time I want to show autumn marvels of the area we live in now. Although this fall is a special one for us and we weren’t able to visit as many places as we would like to, still even with those few we did, we came up with some nice autumn photo shots.

Concourge – pumpkin festival in Vernier (those evil pumpkins were carved by children) – a bit scary, huh?

Discovering France and Switzerland

In the past weeks we went for a couple of walks around the neighborhood, so here’s a collective post with the most beautiful photos from these events.

Now it seems like summer is over, making way to autumn, so the next post of this kind will be less green, more pastel.
