Furry Tricksters
In Africa the hare (not the rabbit! PLEASE!!) is known as the trickster. He plays tricks on everybody, enemies, friends, family – he is an ecumenical abuser.
Seeing these two in the field, I couldn’t help but think they were plotting their next chicanery.
“Let’s pretend we’re drowning! – If somebody comes to rescue us we can jump them!!”

Without Asparagus Everything Is Just Bananas!
Around May there is kind of madness that descends on Germans. They go bananas over white asparagus. They eat it with meat, with ham, with pancakes, on its own, usually with a sauce hollandaise or a bechamel sauce. They even paint their houses with it. Proper fanatics.
BTW: The writing properly translated means: Without asparagus, life is unimportant.

The Palatinate Connection
They have many tales in the Palatinate about Elwetritsche – the descendants of various kinds of fowl bred with forest dwellers like elves and goblins. I once found an Elwetritsche egg on a hike in the Palatinate Forest and since it seemed abandoned I decided to put in my backpack and carry it with me. Unfortunately, the eggshell cracked when stumbled on a big root of an oak tree and the Elwetritsch hatched right there in my pack. It was the kind which has a beak and sharp teeth and it started to hack its way through the canvas. It managed to get out and immediately fluttered and hopped into the thicket where I just manage to glance a larger Elwetritsch whom the newborn followed. I was left bewildered, with a split backpack, a swollen ankle and tale to tell in the next pub over a dubbeglas filled with a dry local wine.

Blue Moon
Admittedly, this view is from the beginning of the week not from this weekend (I can’t lie, the waxing moon gives it away) but this snapshot, taken in passing, is too nice not to show. As added bonus I have a slider version (I wish I could make the “image compare” smaller!).
