The weather hasn’t been very conducive to taking Joan out over the past three days. She was starting to feel a bit restless after being cooped up in the flat for so long, so I decided it was time for a change of scenery. We went for a short drive out into the countryside to get some fresh air and a bit of peace.
I had been hoping the rzepak, rapeseed, would be in full bloom by now. It’s still a little early in the season, but when it does blossom, the sight is truly breathtaking. Vast fields blanketed in vibrant yellow stretch across the landscape like sunlight poured onto the earth. One of the best experiences is driving between two blooming fields, where the sweet, honey-like aroma of the flowers fills the air, it’s nature at its most fragrant and uplifting.
After our little excursion, we returned home feeling refreshed. To wind down the evening, we watched Viktor paint yet another stunning landscape. This one, titled Heavenly View, was a beautiful interpretation of nature’s serenity, an ideal end to a day that had started so quietly.
