One pleasant way to wander in April's under zero weather when there is still snow, and propably also later when it is cool, is to be humble and atmospheric.
Treeless town center on a sunny day in April
If the town center's landscape that consists mostly of houses and city streets is ugly and makes one feel as if ill, one can look at such landscapes with a more foggy way of looking and look at sunshine, dust etc esthetics and every few seconds look also at people, other living beings and shop windows with a sharp eyesight, seeing also their enviroment sharply, but not attaching to it any more if it alone feels nasty.
Now in the beginning of April my dogs thought late in the evening about heat returning to the body after having been out in the cool or in cold, under zero. And so I tried to compose something about it, since it is a subject that suits the winter half of the year, and maybe even the summer.
Both while walking or driving a bicycle or a car, one's attention in the traffic is essentially better if one looks at the trees too, at how magnifient looking they are.
Trees like the melting water from snow: the feeling of the green of pines and also in the leafless leaf trees a feeling of awakening vigour of life.
(So when I made this piece of melody, there was still snow under the trees, and the sun shone melting the snow.)
When there is only a little green or alive nature, one's glance attaches to the living nature, signs of spring and sunshine, and kind of glides in an uninterested way, kind of dull, over dead grass, winter time road sand and the like.
This piece of tune has been made afterwards ( a week later), the memory was maybe from the end of March 2019, but a partly wet road is beautiful in it's own way, nice to wander on, at least if the sun shines from a tilted angle.
Here a not-so-successfull composition from the same day. At least it was too unusual weather: an ice rain like rain of snow that looked like ordinary spring rain and lasted long.
In rain the light is beautiful, if it does not rain heavily and if the clouds are not heavy: a rain drop here and there lightens for a second or so in the light and behind the rain one can see a beautiful light.
If there is any green tone in the grasses or lawn, one should look closer to notice that some of the plants are already green, either survived the winter as green or are new plants with small leaves.
I tried to compose something with the aim that one's experience of April would sing:
Bird song concert on the road side trees near still leafless big flower bushes:

If you copy the notes, please keep their headers, since the ntes are all of different subjects and short.
