Hello everyone and well over the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

I've had a nice walk in the forest. Wonderful!

The weather alternates between snow and cold and then rain and slush.

 Right now it is quite windy with a lot of rain

It's been a long time since I've been on a hike. 

Can you imagine work takes all the time. Until next year I'll retire. 

Work less. Maybe retire early? I like to work. It keeps me young and vital.

 But it would have been good to be able to leave responsibility to someone 

else and rather become a senior nurse with teaching.

 Yes, that's how you go and think when you're on a trip 

and completely forget to see nature hah hah

I finally managed to get a picture of this cute little squirrel. 

Yes, but they are fast! It enjoyed itself under the seed dispenser. Lots of peanuts!

Of all winterbird I kind of like this Turdus merula

Common Blackbird or Svart trost som vi kalle den her i Norge

It sings beautifully early in the morning

And this one too (Lophophanes cristatus) 

Crested tit or Toppmeis som vi kaller den her

Soon go ice skating! Yes i do have my old ballerina skates hih hih

It is really dark and the clock is only about 12 morning

The lonely bench

Peace of mind

Before, nature management had to chain benches to stones. 

People stole them. But now they can be left alone

Before, there was forest everywhere here. 

Now a four-lane road has been built. People take in nature more and more.

 But man, it is difficult to swim against the current. You just have to accept it.

The home front fought here during the war. 

There are many concentration camps in here.

 Many remnants of a sad,painful life

I was hoping to see the Fossekallen "White-throated dipper 

"Norway's national bird. 

It lives here by the stream. But today it was not to be seen

Fossekallen

Slik endte turen.

So I hope everyone manages to keep their New Year's resolutions, 

even if it's difficult.

 If you don't have anyone, it's the same too. 

Just remember to be kind and good, care more about your companions,

 both animals and people.

 Don't worry so much, how one is taking the problems 

that may have arisen 

is much easier 

to handle with a calm mind and a good laugh. 

Then I also hope that bloggers who disappeared 

out of the picture in 2022

 are doing well. It's a bit lonely in here without 

you all but I'm doing fine

Have a brilliant weekend and new week.

 Keep smiling and smiling
