Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.
Pick a word
Participants in the spring parade are resplendent in traditional Portuguese costumes.
Is it the wine or the name that is alluring?
A forest plagued by giant ants.
Strictly speaking, not a copycat but a copier cat. We found the cat when we looked in the box the copier came in.
Timeworn wooden clogs.

literally & figuratively
As any grandparent will attest to – grandchildren are rays of sunshine, even when they are covered in tomato sauce.
For A Photo a Week: sunshine.

Modern arcade
This arcade is on the “upper lake” in Böblingen. The area around two lakes in the middle of town was revamped for the “Landesgartenschau” in the late 1990, a horticultural show. When a town is chosen to host the show it is usually done in such a way that the areal can be kept and benefit the inhabitants for years to come. I couldn’t find an explanation for this very tall and very barren – and indeed very vertical – arcade on the lakeside. It provides shade and makes for very nice reflections, though.
For One Word Sunday: vertical.

Wheels
This wheel is smokin’ … actually, it’s burning.
Wheel and bike are the same words in Germany, so we have a kind of wheely culture here.
These are very old wheels in a mill. They are the reason I’ve chosen sepia for today’s post as the original photo looks hardly any different.
A picnic area specifically for cyclists (others are welcome).
In their old age, wheels can be used as decorative items.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challege: wheels.

Getting your cows in a row
I didn’t find ducks so I thought cows might do as well. They were jostling a bit but I think that’s usually the case if one is trying to arrange for a group picture.
For A Photo a Week: Getting your ducks in a row.
More people or ducks or … in a row can be found here.
Roads were made for journeys
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge had a throw back to “Which Way?” and asked for roads and paths and streets. More of these can be found here.
Japanese cherry blossoms in a row
These Japanese cherry trees are part of the grounds of Schwetzingen palace. Most of them date back to the 18th century but some needed to be replaced over the years.
For One Word Sunday: rows.
Rows and rows of more photos with rows can be found here.
