before the little ladybug ventures outside! She shines it up and polishes hard, little aphids be on your guard!

Macro Monday

If you follow this signpost you end up in the Kellerwald of Forchheim. It is where the for hundreds of years the beer brewers of Forchheim in Franken have stored their beer to keep it fresh (and cool): The forest is on a hill and there are 23 cellars dug into the hill, very similar to what I imagine hobbit holes to be like. Together they form what is probably the largest, certainly the most charming beer garden in the world.

Ainos colours today are based on a little lily called söring time in Finnish. I couldn’t find an English common name for gagea minima but the German common name literally translates as little yellow star.

Less sky, more green. But the sky itself would have been undefinably whitish grey. I took this photo on the banks of the river Neckar. A couple of kilometres up the river there would have been the Heidelberg castle on the slopes.
It looked quite atmospheric and not at all like spring. But that’s what you get in April. April is a mixed bag.
