Grey Swell. Meuse River, Ducks and Purple Dead Nettle, Lamium purpureum, Venlo, Limburg, The Netherlands

When 'The Gloom' is upon you and the grey, swelling river impresses it even more, then, as you're hiking chew some Purple Dead Nettle Leaves. I assure you that'll lift your spirit.

Here's the very full almost overflowing winter's Meuse River at Venlo. The hiking track is brown and grey but here and there beside a rock or in a little gully there are Purple Dead Nettles; small, to be sure, and you have to have an eye for them. Then you'll be delighted by the delicacy of the tiny purple flowers and the pleasant green of its foliage.
