I’m a fan of sequoias

These natives of the US west coast were planted about 150 years ago in Weinheim.  The single specimen in the trial garden Hermannshof and in the forest arboretum Exotenwald there are about 50 of these giants left of about 150.

I’m a fan of hearts #1

When I decided on hearts as the subject of this week’s “I’m a fan of …” I didn’t realise how many hearts I do have on file.  So I decided to split the post. I tried to sort the photos thematically, chronologically, by colour – then I gave up.  The simplest solution: This week’s hearts are in landscape format, next week’s will be portrait.
