Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.
A whiff by any other name …
Spelling on car number plates should not be held to high standards.
This is a scentless mayweed or scentless chamomile.
How much better – at least for the nose – it is to stand next to a mauve or white lilac bush in May?

Tourist magnet
This is the old bridge in Heidelberg leading over the river Neckar last week. Not completely deserted as the lock down in Germany has been lifted to some degree, was never as strict as in many other countries.
This is what it looks like in normal times, bustling with people at any given time.

Me and my new girl
I’ve been planning to get a new bike for awhile but thanks to Corona I delayed the acquisition. In the meantime our ways of doing things has changed: I do all the shopping on my own which we often did together beforehand. I don’t use public transport anymore. As we shouldn’t go out for joyrides (they always were a guilty pleasure due to environmental reasons) my radius has shrunk. So when the shops opened again I made a very impulsive decision and bought a pedelec – complete with bags for shopping and/or my camera.
It is such a beauty – I call her Winona Rider, by the way – that even the local bird life is interested:
But I got my own back, being equally curious and being stealthy and very quiet (thanks to Winona):

Slithery loves company

They prefer hanging out together.

Love on a hard concrete bench
For once a whole story with my Six Word Saturday photo. I took this photo (and many others) in a not quite savoury part of Mannheim near the old harbour, an area bordering on the brink of gentrification.
While I was snapping away I heard a gruff voice in my back (please excuse the language, it was rather unsavoury, too): “Straighten your back and put your arse out!” I turned round with clenched cheeks, unsure how I should react when I saw two burly, bearded men who could have easily posed for this sprayed graffiti and who were using an old bollard as a impromptu gym machine and urging each other on.
Double entendres everywhere.
