Some pictures of frost from my walkies this week

Figured this post would fit best here. I've been so happy that it is finally winter proper here and all the coniferous trees and nature finally gets at least some of the winter they need to survive.
There's been an incredible frost for some days now. Been on my daily hikes in the nearby trail and it's so incredibly silent there, everything but some birds hunkering down against the cold. Walking there alone always makes me think of how easy it is to think of nature as sacred.
Tension just melts from my shoulders when I walk into a forest, it feels like an embrace.

Finnish nature is wonderful. I used to hate winter, but after learning how to properly dress, and buying microspikes for my boots, I enjoy it almost as much as summer. I miss the sun though.
It genuinely is, the best thing in the country.
I love autumn and winter especially, they are my autism seasons. But I do love me a cool summer too.
