Happy March everyone! I can’t believe another month is over already. Today is Jan’s birthday, so tonight there shall be a nice meal and gifts 🙂
Last month I started a new series in which I wanted to share the photos I took throughout the month that didn’t warrant a blog post of their own. So, with another month now over, it’s time to share February’s photos.
Nobody needs this many (bad) photos of small birds but I just can’t resist their cuteness!
The snow returned (briefly) and I discovered once again that it’s really hard to take photos while snow is actually falling from the sky!
The photo above was taken on a Friday morning. The sun came out in the afternoon and melted everything that had managed to settle… and would you believe the next day was bright sunshine and highs of 12°C? The weather has been so confusing lately!
I had a week off at the end of the month and on a particularly sunny day I went for a walk into town (and beyond). It was 22°C that day. In February! I mean, it was nearly March, but still… 22°C!
There were signs that spring was approaching! Can you spy the bee below?
I walked all the way to the Birsfelden hydroelectric plant, which means nothing to you so you’ll just have to trust me that it was a reasonably long walk 😉 2km further and I would have been in Germany, but instead I decided to cross the river and head back since it was getting on for 3 p.m. and I still had to cook tea.
Look how blue the water is? Aah, I love living here!
And, to finish off, a yummy treat! Jan and I finally made it to the chocolate café I’ve been saying I want to go to ever since we moved here. I don’t even care that I went way over my calorie limit for that day -it was so, so worth it! Chocolate heaven ❤
And that was my February in photos. Tomorrow there will be a proper February recap post – with less imagery and more words (the type that end with -ing 😉 )
Oh wow that chocolate cafe looks lovely!
Visiting the chocolate cafe is not a day to be counting calories!
I can’t believe you had snow and summer temps in the same month! Chocolate Cafe! Take me there immediately. I really do need to go to a chocolate cafe .:)x
The color of the water in Swiss rivers and lakes is one of the reasons I am so fond of my travels to Switzerland.
Happy birthday to Jan!
nice photos!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss to the chocolate cafe! (and where is this if I ever come back to Basel!???) . The elusive snow falling picture. It is impossible but you did well!!!!
I loved the lake in Basel- remember going on a boat trip!
Hope Jan had a lovely birthday!
Thanks for sharing. I live in Dornach so really enjoyed the local snaps! I have just started a poetry blog here on WordPress in case you have time to look? Have a nice day, Sam 🙂
I’m glad you like the photos.
Oh, Dornach… I looked at a flat there but we didn’t get it. I prefer being a little closer to town anyway 🙂
It is well linked by train but yes you have to like the village feel to live there I think…
It is on the tram line, but 2 zones instead of one so would be more expensive to get into town. We are in Basel-Landschaft but still tram zone 10.
