Field trip

· 2 Comments ·

This year isn’t really the year for field trips but last year I had three weekends in the town of Böblingen, just south of Stuttgart, for a training program. I got up early (against my nature) and took photos around the hotel and the two town lakes.

The school and hotel was in the old part of town, amongst the pubs and restaurants and clubs.

Böblingen has an upper and lower lake which got a make-over for the national botanical show in 1996.

The walks around the lakes are dotted with sculpture pieces – which kind of spilled over in town.

It was early spring, so not too many flowers yet – but the people of the town were obviously expecting a rich harvest.

He didn’t leave his hat on

Years of listening to Joe Cocker didn’t have any effect.

When I showed my husband this photo he immediately exclaimed: “Oh, that’s were I left it! I’ve already been looking for it.” — Now we have to plan another visit to our friends to fetch the hat. It’s only 50 km away …

A few hours earlier we were out with the grandchildren. I left my camera and my phone on the table and later that night I found this last photo on my phone (which I very seldom use to take photos):

The following photo is not the last on my memory card of my camera (that’s the hat one above) but it is the equivalent to the last photo on the mobile phone, so it deserves a place here:

PS: I also found a video on my camera with this commentary: “Here is slide. Let’s see how it looks when like I slide. I hope you won’t break, little camera …” Luckily, these were not “famous last words”.

Added fun fact 😀 : I just showed my husband this blog entry and he immediately exclaimed: “Oh, that’s were I left it! I’ve already been looking for it.” — Now we have to plan another visit to our friends to fetch the hat. It’s only 50 km away …
