  6. Wunderschön, Kerstin!

    Das könnte eine Waldboden-Impression von einem meiner geliebten Winterwaldspaziergänge sein! Ich gehe immer mit den Augen am Boden, um keine Schätze und Wunder zu übersehen...und deine Journal-Seite hat so ein Highlight eingefangen. Gefällt mir riesig gut!

    Liebe Grüße aus dem Schneesturm (naja, gottlob sitz ich im Warmen...lol),
