A Week of Threes

· 2 Comments ·

The flooding during the last weeks have reminded me when we were in Düsseldorf on the banks of the river Rhine a few years ago. The banks were overflown then but the waters didn’t reach dangerous levels.

Last week was grandson visiting time and we went for an excursion with our bike, taking the train first and then cycling back. It’s not a great photo by any means but it was the beginning of a wonderful day.

We also went to the zoo in Heidelberg.

There were three elephants

and a large number of flamingoes – but these three were obliging to pose for Thursday Trios.

Animals and Trees

Last weekend our grandson was with us. Note of caution: Children remember when you tell them that deer watching happens at the break of dawn. They will wake you before dawn to make it happen. We saw one deer, several hares, and the highlight of the morning, even if they were far away: two foxes – and they were, of course, next to a tree.

  • A nuthatch on the side of a tree.
  • A horse, with the tree taking pride of place.
  • A ram in front of a tree.
  • A herd of deer around a tree.
