I’m Fed up

In German, if you say “I’m smelling something” as on the sign it means: I had enough of it.

This sign on the “Flowering Bergstraße”, a walk along the slope of the Odenwald starting about 20km north of Heidelberg and stopping just before. The QR codes on the signs tell interesting facts about this area with a rich history. This particular sign tells about the hazards of dog droppings which spoil the grown fruit crops (grapes, berries, espalier fruit) and they do – of course, smell.

Water Is Indeed Everywhere

We went to the bird park yesterday. It was already fairly late and cold, the trees have been covered in hoarfrost for the last few days. There was a pair of snowy owls and it was a bit challenging to take photos through the wire mesh fence, so I went really close.

Imagine my surprise when I saw this photo on my computer screen at home: water droplets around the owl’s eyelid. The photo is completely un-enhanced, just the way I took it. Fair to double dip with Macro Monday?

For Water, Water Everywhere and Macro Monday
