I’m a Fan of Camouflage

This buzzard as good as blended in the blooming tree and it got me thinking about camouflage.

I’m not so fond of this kind of camouflage, even though it’s kind of fake.

Good camouflage and better camouflage.

Henry has better camouflage and not quite so good camouflage:

Getting a Basket

Debbie had an odd square today about what it means if your potential in-laws present you with a pumpkin. It reminded me of an expression we use in Germany: giving someone a basket or, on the receiving end, getting a basket. It’s the equivalent of getting told “Thanks, but no thanks” in the dating world. Usually it’s the man who gets the basket, i.e. he is rejected.

What makes this photo odd? A bright pink shopping basket in the middle of the woods? What’s not odd about it?

Henry, on the other hand, is quite partial to getting a basket even if he has to claim the wastepaper one.

In case you were wondering, it’s called “einen Korb kriegen” in German.
