For Becca’s Sunday Trees
There is a silent deference for one another, a distance that is kept, and lines that aren’t crossed, but in their sharing, they each try to pay tribute to the bond in their own way. As often as possible, they open up a little and give what they can. ~
Friendships – and indeed most relationships – are measured in the closeness of hearts, minds and soul ties… not in the distance of physical miles or even the passing of time. ~
As I said in my previous post, last Thursday we had our annual ski/tour day in my office. It’s like a team building activity. I opted to join the tour/hiking group. Here are some images which I dedicated to Jo’s Monday walk theme, its been a while since I participate in it.
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity ~ Our National Parks)
Some places were difficult to walk but fortunately I managed it without spikes. Going uphill was easier than going down. As the other road was facing south west there was not much snow and going downhill was OK but hard on knees for the incline was steep.
And lastly
When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps ~

Live your truth. Express your love. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Walk your talk. Dance and sing to your music. Embrace your blessings. Make today worth remembering.~
The following quotes seem to be connected.
I like the mountains because they make me feel small,… ‘They help me sort out what’s important in life.~
Human life is far more important than just getting to the top of a mountain. ~Edmund Hillary
A couple of shots from my hike/walk yesterday. It was beautiful summer weather.

When weather forecast predicts a couple of hours of sunshine before a rainy week then the only smart choice is to go out and be in nature. I am presenting some of such precious moments.
To walk in nature is to witness a thousand miracles ~Mary Davis
July is the month of midnight sun in Norway. Due to the high mountains we do not experience the fantastic view of sunset – sunrise but anyways it doesn’t get dark at night in late june and july.
Here are some images from our late night walk along the river yesterday. It was very warm during day but extremely pleasant at night 😀
How are you spending your weekend?
For Jo’s Monday walk
These days my work keeps me busy for more than necessary and besides the working hours are just 7 a day as we follow summer time schedule.
Yesterday I decided to take it easy and attended a farewell lunch party for a colleague and spent my evening laughing with jolly good friends. I could not stay late with the gang as I was supposed to take a morning flight 😀 . Travelling early morning means packing the bag before going to bed and the result, I forgot my sunglasses and temperature today is +25.
I have shared a clip from my journey in history on my instagram account. I think one needs an instagram account to see it. Link to my page is

Sorry for not able to visit your blog. I shall do it soon.
The above image of oriental turtle dove was taken at TianTan Buddha in Hong Kong.
After a long, tough and busy week it’s Saturday. We planned a hike/walk, one of our favourite activities in the weekend. We started just after breakfast as the weather forecast in the afternoon was cold and rain. We enjoyed our time in woods. The wild flowers, butterflies, singing birds and the lovely smell from wild surroundings was a treat to both body and soul.
May your weekend be filled with positive thoughts, kind people and happy moments.
