WHEN FALL TAKES US BY SURPRISE...

Fall is here. There is no doubt about that. It arrived on the tips of it's toes, like a ghost, silently and invisibly. It had already installed itself long before we realized that the season had actually changed. There was no need to wait for the official proclamation of autumn to see and feel the drastic metamorphosis of our environment...

Nature is transitioning at a shockingly fast speed. It is as if it knows not how to transform itself slowly. Suddenly, from one day to the other the air is crispy, the light is fading, the trees are turning yellow/red and the animals behave differently. You go to bed in the evening and it is still summer and when you you wake up the next day it is already autumn. Crazy!

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
- Albert Camus

LOVELY GENEVA COUNTRYSIDE - THE ARVE

After having blogged about my trip to Zweisimmen for 6 weeks it is now time to take a tour around our beautiful Geneva countryside again. It is such a wonderful area that I never get tired of it...

Every Saturday we go out for walks or a bicycle ride around Veyrier and it's surroundings. We always do it with much pleasure. It is to be said that here, in Geneva, we are blessed with amazing landscapes made of soft green hills, sinuous rivers (Rhône, Arve, Allondon, Versoix, etc...), verdant vineyards, quaint and charming villages with old houses, fortified castles and enchanted forests with the mountains in the background (Jura, Salève, Voirons, Môle, Vuache, Alps/Mont Blanc, etc...). Ideal for romantic souls and photography addicts.

So, let me take you down to the Arve and the Etrembière pond (biotope) in France that are situated less than 10 minutes away from my house. I hope you'll like my pictures!
