Swiss Walks

A Walk In The Shade

A walk from one forest to another from Founex to Arnex. Sometimes we walk in the rain and the snow and we get soaked by the weather. Today I drank a litre in an hour and a half of walking. The air temperature is around 31c. I decided to walk from clump of trees to clump of trees. It’s possible. If I had walked in the direct sun I would have needed to drink more than I did.

Hay There

Rolls of Hay wrapped in plastic Recently we have had droughts so hay has not grown much. This year we have had plenty of rain. This means that hay and grass has had a good growing season. This in turn means that there will be plenty of feed for cows. Hay Bales in Switzerland, with the Alps in the background. Maybe yesterday’s bison can eat it.

The Bison Of Geneva

The Bison Of Geneva and calves The Bison of Geneva from up close. I didn’t get too close to the fence and I stayed on the bike. When I have been on foot they have threatened to charge me. Usually I see them from far away. This time I was close.

Views From Les Diablerets

Five Storks In A Field and A High River

Rain filled river It has rained enough to fill the rivers now. I walked in the rain for an hour and a half and might have crossed one cyclist and one other person. I did count five herons in a field. Hay balls in a field on a rainy day. Spot the five herons. In one location several roads are saturated by rainwater flowing off of the fields. Shoes in high water on a road.

Risk of Flooding

Rain is forecast. Is this in anticipation to the weekend?
