After a week of some snow and some freeze, I wanted to check out the woodland nearby. Just to see how much snow there was. And more importantly, if there were still some colours to be found amongst the white. In this time of the season, you normally expect something like this. The ice is still there and some snow is covering it.
A total silent scene as if the time has stood still. No activity, not even some skating.

Therefore I was pleasantly surprised to see that if you wanted, you could still play golf. I heard from members that the golfcourse is actually closed for another week. But even if it wasn't closed, you would need some very colourful balls and a robust set of clubs. You need a snowmobile for transport and a lot of patience and stamina. Nevertheless, I was pleased to find these red gems.

But still this was too artificial. I wanted some natural colours and therefore I walked further on. And finally, I found some real gems in the snow. It really seems as if nature just finds he right combination of colours to be seen together. With the bright sunshine, the yellow just screamed at you. But in a very nice way. I don't have to visit an artgallery, because it is just out there. For free. You only have to see it in order to see it.
And the gems kept on coming. What a nice way to spend your afternoon. Just walk an watch, take some pictures and share it afterwards.
