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.

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?
