I’m a fan of rapeseed
I’m not sure whether I am in favour of the proliferation of rape seed fields all over the country, some grown for being made into oil but the majority made into petrol. I am also not in favour of the yellow muck that descends on cars and windows during its flowering time. But I can’t help being fan of the strips of yellow in the rural landscape, of the yellow fields and of the delicate little flowers.

rise and look around you
We can still walk if not in groups and the weather these past days has been glorious. So much so that it is starting to freak me out a little; almost too good to be true.
The title is from this song:
On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you’ll see who you are.
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being outshines ev’ry star.
You’ll feel part of ev’ry mountain sea and shore.
You can hear, from far and near,
A world you’ve never heard before.
And on a clear day…
On that clear day…
You can see forever and ever more!
Here is a link to the Barbra Streisand version.

Look at the clouds
Clouds – rain – spring – river – sea – evaporation – clouds – rain – – – the circle of life.
Can you see the newborn Lion King?
Clouds over hills and dales –
Clouds over the empty festival grounds which are home to the world largest beer festival once a year, the Münchner Oktoberfest.
And one big thick cloud and not nothing else.
A host of clouds behind a silhouette of trees.
And again stretching over hills
offering a peephole into the sky.

Close-up and far away
Odenwald landscape
and Odenwald close up.
Fenced-in snow
and snowed-in beer (natural refrigeration).
And for the cute factor: this is from last year when we thought we had a big cat but now we know he was only a kitten.

Bay windows
Bay window in a half-timbered house in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Also half-timbered but different style in Michelstadt im Odenwald in Germany.
Still Michelstadt but about a century younger.
A bay window in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the grey-yellow stone typical of the architecture there.
And in Heidelberg, Germany, it’s rather sandstone red.
The newest of the lot. A bay window in white wood near Roker Beach in Sunderland.

I’m a fan of … autumn foilage
While the plain to the west was all foggy yesterday and the light never penetrated the clouds properly, there were crisp blue skies and sunshine galore in the hills to the east and I took my camera and went for a walk.
