ALL DAY SUN TIME FOR A TRIP

not just a nice walk but I went through my prospectus's and maps and I chose a path round Jakobsberg, where we could drive to in 20 minutes (said Google Maps).
With this fine weather we could have panorama views in all directions.
We never got there however because of the detour that existed already a year ago and had not been fixed yet.
When we came in Deissel where the detour did send us to Langenthal, we saw along the road some sheep in a meadow. Why not take some pictures Piet Hein asked and I liked the idea.
There was a road nearby only for cyclists and foresters that looked so inviting that we reconsidered our goal and decided to walk that path and see where it brought us. A lovely winding path it was, but since we feared that we could not walk all the time in the sunshine, we kept saying that if the path was in the shadow for too long we would return.
At some point we heard that strange sound of geese flying in the air together. We had heard and seen them flying yesterday, but then it was already rather dark.
The geese went southwards and first flew in a long row and laterthey could form the V that is comfortable for all of them (I think).
There were no benches to be seen, so we ate our sandwitch, Piet Hein standing and I sitting on a plastic bag. Time to return.
Another loud noise we heard on our path near where our car stood. A dog or more dogs barking so loudly.
A tractor came driving towards us, with a flock of sheep behind it. And to our surprise a sheepdog was held in a cage on the tractor, h/she did the barking and the sheep followed docilely.
This sunny day we had not let pass without enjoying all of it.
The frosted rose picture that I had cherished myself was liked by so many of you, thank your for all the sweet comments.

My haiku:

I asked if the sheep
Were led far away but no
Up the mountain they went

And the proverb:

Goose and gander and gosling, are three sounds but one thing.

1659 - J.Howell, Paroemiograsphia (a polyglot collection).
