After the harvest surprise

I saw this stork stalking through the cut off wheat stalks (oh my!) and grabbed my camera.  If I noticed the two spots in the back to the left of him, I didn’t give them a second thought.

I got closer.  Magnificent bird, I thought, totally focused on the stork.

I zoomed in.  What a wonderful bird!

The blue bird of happiness

This mural, created by Holger Kurt Jäger, adorns the outside wall of a children’s daycare centre. Inside the grounds the artist worked with the children, painting walls and using stencils:

Another wall was decorated a few years earlier, unfortunately there are spaces for cars right in front.
