The only critters outside of a zoo are mice and squirrels. However, the mice are usually dead by the time I grab my camera. So – a squirrel it is.
Winter and summer, architectural and natural, real and artificial

A pansy. Natural, i.e. not quite perfect symmetry.
When the snow has gone …
While the north and south of Germany were still in the grip of severe weather conditions including snow and wind and more snow, we in the southwest had already the first flowers of the year.

How to protect them apple trees
Imagine: It’s been spring for a while, quite balmy weather, and all of a sudden one night the temperature drops. You drive to the bakery, everything seems normal except that it is colder than the days before, and then you come across this:
This is an espalier fruit (apple trees) field. The plants, the blooms are covered in ice. On the ground lies frost. But it ends abruptly at the fence and the flowering bushes around are frost free.
Turns out this is an ingenious way to use irrigation. Ice, it turns out, protects the blooms and hence the possibility of them developing into fruit.
Ice covers the twigs, the blooms, the new leaves.

Esther once again wants us to count words and include certain words in the story.
