Mordor in Flörsheim

Ring, ring, ring … Tolkien calling. Of course, I’m thinking of Lord of the Rings with this prompt. While out and about somewhere between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden I came about this incredible structure. The viewing tower in the regional park. Ragtag Daily Prompt: Ring

Water Is Indeed Everywhere

We went to the bird park yesterday. It was already fairly late and cold, the trees have been covered in hoarfrost for the last few days. There was a pair of snowy owls and it was a bit challenging to take photos through the wire mesh fence, so I went really close.

Imagine my surprise when I saw this photo on my computer screen at home: water droplets around the owl’s eyelid. The photo is completely un-enhanced, just the way I took it. Fair to double dip with Macro Monday?

For Water, Water Everywhere and Macro Monday

A moo? No, emu.

When I read this quote: “His high forehead, aquiline nose, and longish chin were softened by nut-brown eyes and a gentle smile, one that suggested he was always prepared to think the best of people.” (Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death by James Runcie) I dug through my pictures and looked for brown eyes. I looked at brown eyes from cows and horses and even bunnies – but little did I expect to find the best nut-brown in the eye of an emu.

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Nut-brown.
