Nancy at The A Photo a Week challenge asked for a photo with an opening.
I managed two openings in one shot.
More openings, possibly a lot more scenic, can be found here.

An outing to Rüdesheim, where the
Rhine flows through the valley and
on both sides steep vineyards rise
up – and one ends the day
with a good meal together with
friends and a glass of wine.
Or two. Or three. Or more.

No, don’t worry: S.H.I.T.S. is an acronym and stands for “Saturday Hash in the Summer“.
No, you really don’t have to worry: Hash has nothing to do with smoking. Or cookies, for that matter.
It’s short for a worldwide social running club, the Hash House Harriers. A foot (or feet) is its logo. Runners follow a trail marked in chalk or flour and when they find the right way to run they shout “on on“.
Cee was asking for feet for her Black&White Photo Challenge. Feet she got. More feet can be found here.






There was this pond covered with water lilies, one about to be born like Venus of the watery foam, a nascent life form. Nearby lilac flowers looked like an abundance of writhing snakes pullulating in the bushes. This made me hungry so I went to the famous Viktualienmarkt in Munich with its hundreds of stalls selling victuals of every kind. A car passed by – and I wondered if a nut feels maternal towards bolts, after all in German they are called “Mutter” which means “mother”. And I was back at the pond where a frog pondered reflectively about his eye glancing up at him from the water and he completed the circle quoting “Consider the lilies!” from The Life of Brian.
For Thursday’s Special – pick a word. I’ve picked 5.

… I want to ride my bike. I want to ride my bicycle. I want to ride it where I like.
Need I say that the lyrics are from Queen?

I had to look up oojamaflip. Once I knew what it was I realised that I know a few synonyms for this expression, they are:
doodad, oojah, whatchamacallit, whatsit, thingamabob, thingamajig, thingum, thingy.
So how do you call these pull out drawer thingies for storing bottles and whatsits?
More oojamaflips can be found at One Word Sunday.
