Devoured by Donkeys
Far too pretty in my opinion to be devoured by donkeys but that’s what the Latin names onobrychis means. Otherwise known as either sainfoin or esparsette.

Fairground Trios
The shooting gallery at this otherwise very German funfair was decorated with not one but three US American flags. I’ve recently seen quite a number of documentaries on gun violence in the US. But it’s a funfair so I don’t even want to go there.
We decided to throw balls in baskets and at tins instead. Sadly, I mostly missed.
There are always vendours at the fair and this bag with three cats kept staring at me, staring at me, staring at me.

“Gulch” must have been one of the first words I learned in English (I probably pronounced it “goolsh” and had no idea what it meant). It came up quite often as a place name in one of my favourite cartoons.
