Lazy Gruffelo resting on a shoulder.

Lazy flo… Naw, impossible. Flowers can’t be lazy. Just a dandelion then, from the side.

I’ve used up all my expressive, hard worked, baby soft hands for other challenges but I still have this in my archive:

And I’m pretty sure I’ve shown this before but it’s too good not to use – it is from a restaurant in Chodovar in the Czech Republic. All the toilet seats had different sets of hands painted on them. No comment.

“Oh, did you expect me to play fair?” Cupid laughed. “I am the god of love. I am never fair.”
Richard Riordan, The House of Hades
If Cupid isn’t playing fair and three out of three can’t be had there remain the other two as solace: chocolate and laughter.

One characteristic of the castle in Weinheim an der Bergstraße are the different architectural styles seen in various additions and renovations, there are renaissance and baroque elements, a large tract has been remodelled in classicistic style and another part was built in neo-gothic style. Hence, there are different kinds of windows in the various parts.

It wasn’t the photo I wanted to use to kick off Becky’s Square October, I had it lined up for later. But since Becky seemed to be intrigued by Geriatri’x lines I thought I give her another helping of (almost) the same (I did change the title a bit).

The English word squirrel and the German word Eichhörnchen have nothing in common except their meaning, yet in both languages they are considered to be amongst the most difficult words to pronounce and an almost fail-safe recognition of non-mother-tongue speakers (btw: I am very proud of my pronunciation of squirrel, apparently I pass the squirrel test, I have more difficulties with other words).

For some reason or other I come across squirrels almost exclusively in cemeteries. They seem to watch me as much as I watch them.

On their hind legs the little creatures look especially cute and somehow human.

Another cemetery, a different squirrel.

The squirrels of the Munich West cemetery are black rather than chestnut brown.

Either this one let me get closer or I’ve become a better photographer.

And this is the only non-cemetery squirrel in my collection: I’ve caught it literally and figuratively red-handed, raiding the bird feeder.
