Let's Walk Along the Lake

On a hot day, there's nothing like a walk by the lake to make me feel cool again.

This is the port in the town of Morges.

The reflections and colours of the water make everything feel so harmonious.

A little border of pebbly beach and watching fluffy clouds collect over the mountain summits.

I love walking here where the river joins the lake.

The chestnut trees were in full bloom and looked so lovely against the sky.

The overhanging branches of a tree bring in some fresh green into the scene

 creating my favourite colour combination of blue and green together!

So glad to take you with me down to the lake!

Do you have a favourite colour combination?

Sunshine and Flowers

Our exceptionally warm temperatures for the season

and daily sunshine have brought us spring flowers

like these Crocus

Snowdrops

and Winter Jasmine

The full moon got me out walking to capture a lovely sunset.

It shone brightly in my neighbourhood

A day's outing by the lake in the town of Morges.

The mountains were misty, but the water reflected the beautiful blue of the sky.

Other people were out enjoying the lovely weather.

Another day I took a boat over the lake to the town of Evian for the day.

I was amazed and thrilled to see the first cherry blossom of the year.

It is very early, but luckily this is ornamental cherry.

The fruit bearing trees need to remain in hibernation a while longer.

Leaving the French town of Evian and surrounding mountains

to return to the Swiss side of the lake where I live.

I have been enjoying spring flowers in pots for a few weeks now.

Like these orange primroses and ivy leaves.

Spring crochet is getting ready to decorate my home with fresh colours

and a new tiny owl scissor fob was made over the weekend.

I found the lovely pattern here:

Day 24 - Steamboat

Today took me to a neighbouring lakeside town to enjoy the beautiful weather.

At least once a year, I love to take a cruise on one of these steamboats

on the Lake Léman.

This boat is called 'Simplon'

which is the name of  a mountain pass in Switzerland.

The Simplon Pass (2.005 m or 6.578 ft) connects Brig in the canton of Valais

with Domodossola in Piedmont Italy

and further on to the big city of Milan.

Off she sails to her next destination further along the lake!
