Chasing the winter (Patreon)

As I kept walking higher and higher the climate started to change. While the flowers were already blooming in the valley, the snow was still lying in the highest parts of the hills,  unbothered by the shy warmth of sunlight. 

I've never seen the snow in May but here I am - having to take another trail just because the snow was too big. It was truly mesmerizing to experience it on your own skin. I was walking there while I was getting mixed signals from nature. My body was getting really hot from the sun but my feet were so cold from walking in one of many streams that were crossing my path. 

The other feeling I will miss is definietly the time when I didn't have to bring my own water for the hike because the melting snow on top of the mountains created so many streams with fresh water. Every time I got thirsty I just had to find a stream... and it wasn't hard at all. You could hear the flowing water from every place.

I'd love to feel those feelings more often.

Love, Erinthul.
