When cycling through the fields, mostly strawberry and asparagus, I was bowled over this May with the scent of strawberries in the air. You would come around a corner and it hit you: STRAWBERRIES. Definitely more than a whiff. But it lingered and I could keep smelling a faint strawberry scent for hours afterwards. And now, with summer gone I just need the slightest whiff of a single strawberry and I am back in the fields thinking of the quote “Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did” (by Dr William Boteler, quoted via Roger Williams – or possibly somebody else).

#8 for Tourmaline’s Halloween Challenge.

Looking through photos for Debbie’s Travel with Intent quotations challenge I cam across this view across the Rhine valley, from our side of the Odenwald all the way to the hills of the Pfälzerwald. In between are is Mannheim and Ludwigshafen and several medium-sized towns and quite a few villages with more than half a million people, agriculture and industries (in fact, the chimney belongs to the world largest chemical producer, BASF, with over 100,000 employees working on that site).
