Do you recall my "Heidi Country" post of last
August? Back when it was hot and the
meadows and the mountains were lush and the sky blue and white. You could see
the cows eating amid wild flowers and lavender....
Well here's what it looks like in winter: equally magnificent when covered with its
white blanket. B E A U T I F U L!!
Two weeks ago, it was the school holidays here, so we took the
opportunity to take these pictures (with sweetheart's aging compact camera, a
Sony VSC-1).
I hope you enjoy them. We adore this secluded little corner - it's
so authentic. That is why I named it "Heidi Country".
Have a look at my August post also, then let me know your
preference.
The view from the chalet.
The neighbour's cat.
The mountain hut.
The Swiss Alps.
The village.
The white horse.
A typical mountain chalet.

The
ski run.
wow! I'm amazed at the way you registered all this beauty. The Swiss Alps must be something incredible and I hope one day I can see them with my own eyes. I'm sure its really nice to be there all year round! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Switzerland, but I will have a quick stopover in Zurich during the summer.
I'm sorry, I didn't you know that Ana wasn't your real name, but I perfectly understand your professional reasons :)
Have a great week! Abraços!
ps: your Portuguese is very good, way better than some native speakers that we see out there haha :)
Thank you Tais! The Swiss Alps are incredibly beautiful in every season and I hope one day you can see them with your own eyes. Turning to your postscript, I have no merit because I learned the language when I was little and regularly read books in Portuguese. As you know, one of my favourite authors is Jorge Amado.
DeleteHave a lovely week! Abraços!
What stunning photos! I've only been to the snow once and ended up with bronchitis so didn't get to enjoy the snow at all.
ReplyDeleteThank you Monica! Sorry to hear your story - I understand your aversion to a cold climate ;-)
DeleteI have to say I love the mountain snow too! These lovely photos give me the urge to head off to the Alps to ski - much more preferable to the humdrum routine of Monday morning,
ReplyDeleteThank you Cresta Bear! I can't ski, but sweetheart is a keen skier. Hahaha, I just love your expression - the humdrum routine of Monday morning - I have always disliked Mondays.
DeleteCoucou ma belle! Tes photos sont juste sublimes. J'ai une préférence pour Heidi Country in Summer. Xxx Chantal
ReplyDeleteMerci Chantal. C'est pareil pour moi ;-) Bonne semaine.
DeleteGosh, what striking photos. The Alps are just incredible and leave you in awe of nature. And I appreciate all the different seasons...not sure I'd like to live in all this year year round but it sure is beautiful...
ReplyDeleteThank you Monica! It is a perfect place to unwind from the stress of urban life...and ideal for nature lovers!
DeleteAmazing and magical place! Awesome fresh powder! Xx

Thank you for stopping by my blog and for your lovely words, Madison ;-)
DeleteI loved Heidi when I was a kid. I read it so many times! I remember in the winter she and grandfather would have to come down and stay in the valley. The snow is beautiful but I am a summer girl!
ReplyDeleteI recognise the very cultured and adoooooorable woman here..... When I was little, I read Heidi and I devoured the cartoon... Thank you, Judy ;-)
DeleteWhat gorgeous photos of the mountains, they're breathtaking. I viewed your August post also. They are beautiful also but I think the snow makes them even more majestic.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for reading, Kelly ; -)
