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.
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.

Maybe yesterday’s bison can eat it.
Swiss hiking signs
Today I walked in the mountains for the first time in a long time. It feels good to be back up there.

Do you feel like you are being watched. Imagine loving south of a field of sunflowers.

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.

In one location several roads are saturated by rainwater flowing off of the fields.
You go to Italy or France to see old buildings but you can see them in Switzerland. Some villages and towns do not destroy buildings with character and replace them with sugar cubes. Coppet is one example. Parts of it look old and of architectural interest.
Wet chickens
