Bright Prospects
I can’t announce yet that I’ve been vaccinated but I have a vaccination appointment! The possibility of getting inoculated against COVID-19 opened this morning for over 60-year-olds in our part of Germany and I’ve been trying since 6am this morning and I have now a definite date in 3 weeks! YEAH!

Student Corps’ Motto – Not by Chance
One of the crests of a student corps, displayed at the Wachenburg in Weinheim, a castle built by these corps.
The Latin motto translates as “Neither by chance nor timidly”.

Locks of Wool
This is another photo of the cold morning after the cold night we had last week, threatening the new blooms on the espaliered trees in the orchard. The clouds are, I think, cirrocumulus floccus (meaning “look of wool”).
Bright as a New Penny
or as a new cent, rather. That’s the ECB building in Frankfurt, the European Central Bank.

You don’t know what you’ve been missing
I don’t think we miss colour in winter quite as much as people used to because they were more limited without artificial dyes and the like, e.g. I wear a bright yellow anorak in winter (I want to be seen on the road!). There are plastic toys and boxes etc. in our house. We can buy flowers and fruits all year round. There is tv and outside there are large billboards, often in glaring colours. Winter is not as grey as it used to be.
But then the first trees start blooming in soft pinks and whites, the first crocusses appear, and dandelions, specks of yellow and blue and then all of a sudden the riot of tulips start and looking at them one realises: I have been missing colour in my life.
On sunny days, there are almost more people than flowers in this botanical garden.
