It's been a wet June. The very first raspberries are ripening on the vines, and the blackberry bushes are blossoming. The white flowers in the second to last picture are wild clematis. It's hard to believe they will look like<i><a href="http://www.thephenologist.blogspot.co.at/2012/01/january-third.html"> this</a></i> in winter.<br />

The first little signs of spring, including sprouts of wild garlic. The pond pictured will soon have frog eggs floating on the surface.<br />

Blue skies today and oddly warm. Will we have snow at all this winter? The birds sing and hop around the branches like it's March.<br />
<br />
Hopefully there will be some hard freezes before spring. If not, there will be a terrible amount of ticks and slugs this year.<br />

Such a curious winter so far, with no snow.<br />
<br />
The red and orange balls on the leaf I found are called 'leaf galls' and can be caused by insects, fungi, or other factors.<br />
<br />
Also spotted a maple tree exploding with sap.<br />
<br />
Now a new year begins...a year which will be full of natural beauty and wonder. I hope you will join me for the journey through the seasons.<br />

The shortest day of the year...the official beginning of Winter.<br />
<br />
This bird nest was tucked into a thorny bush, and full of pink leaves.<br />

Many bird nests are revealed now that all the leaves are gone. I found the one pictured here very close to the ground. Maybe a Winter Sparrow's?<br />
<br />
We had the first snow on December 16th, but it was actually more like sleet, and didn't stick.<br />

Still not a single snow flake.<br />
Today is misty and cold. Bare branches are dripping. Even the little moth I found had pearls of dew on it's feelers.<br />

Discovered a tree trunk that a woodpecker has made it's home as you can see in the last picture.<br />
A very warm day considering the time of year, about 10°C.<br />

Another sunny day. Many trees were cut down along this trail in the past couple of days. The pathways here in Austria are always very well taken care of.<br />
