The weather around Sofia has been a bit extreme these last days due to very strong, almost hurricane wind. When we started for Lulin mountain yesterday early in the morning, we had kind of hoped that the wind situation was over. Brazenly, because the temperature forecasts we in the range of 14-16C, we left our woolen hats and gloves at home. And then, right at the door step, I remembered that I had just finished a new hat for husband and our hike could be a suitable background for a photo session. What a lucky idea!
Once we came out of the car at the foot of the mountain, we realized that we did need our wooly hats after all, because, despite the warm sun, the wind was very strong and our heads soon felt very cold. Husband quickly put on his new hat and couldn't stop praising its windproof qualities all the way, I put on the reserve hat we always keep in the car, and from time to time I also had my two hoods on as well - turns out you can't have too many hoods :)
Apart from the spring flowers, which were in abundance, the forest looked like late autumn - winter scenery - no grass, no fresh green leaves, spring is still on its way here.
