Swiss meadows ...

Sometimes you don't need to look far to find beauty in a world of pollution, violence and aggression. Sometimes, you just need to walk out of your back door. I have spent the last few weeks moaning about Zurich's weather - the sun hasn't shone all spring. But today it came out, and on a walk around our local lake, the Katzensee, I simply couldn't stop snapping the array of wild flowers in the meadows. Embedded in long grass and sweeping in carpets of yellow, purple, pink and white down to the shore, they are like something from a picture book. The rain has certainly served its purpose in one way!
