Pictures taken on Dec 3 and 4th..starting with this one taken from the kitchen of the landscaping in front of the house and in front of the driveway. Today, the rain has washed away some of it, so I'm glad I took the pictures when the snow was still pristine and soft.
Photo of Le Sorgia, part of the Jura mountain chain in front of our house.
Views from Le Plateau de la Retord, with nordic skiers and snowshoers in the distance. R and I took a while, enjoying the beauty, the crisp blues of the skies overhead, and the powder white snow all around.
A view of the Mont Blanc on a clear day from Le Retord. I live at the foothill of Le Sorgia which is the mountain on the left side. Le Sorgia is 1600m, or 5200 feet high. On the other hand, Le Retord is still high but only 1200m, or close to 4000 ft. I was hoping to see animal tracks in the snow, but alas, I saw nothing but then again, we didn't go too deep in because the snow was so deep. But on the way home from Maastricht, we saw a fox in the median alongside the autoroute. He looked at us, then went back to doing whatever he was doing there. R says that sangliers or wild boars who live in the forests will start coming down to our village soon seeking warmer pastures and food!
