Our newest adventure

Just yesterday we went for a walk around a high altitude Alpine lake of Ritom, and had a most fantastic time, though we managed to almost have a break-down, car-wise on the way to and from. See the photos here Photobox slideshow

What a day, we had a four hour walk in the Alps around the Ritom lake, we caught butterflies, took over 400 photos, laughed, sang, played Billy-goat-gruffs on the bridges, drank icy water from the glacier, watched marmots, whatever they are in English, saw some pretty amazing wildlife, enjoyed the air so fresh it makes you dizzy, collected a dozen tadpoles for our home pond, had so much fun...
We are coming back again, once our car has come back from the service and works better, we will take more photos, drink more water and watch more marmots. We will probably draw flowers and attract more butterflies, but that remains to be seen. As for now we will be dreaming of the meadows with the flowers the names of which we don't know because we have never seen them before, we will populate the lake and marshes with the creatures wild and beautiful in our dreams, & then come back to find them.
