Bicycle, bicycle, I want to ride my bicycle
… I want to ride my bike. I want to ride my bicycle. I want to ride it where I like.
Need I say that the lyrics are from Queen?

I need more thingamabobs
I had to look up oojamaflip. Once I knew what it was I realised that I know a few synonyms for this expression, they are:
doodad, oojah, whatchamacallit, whatsit, thingamabob, thingamajig, thingum, thingy.
So how do you call these pull out drawer thingies for storing bottles and whatsits?
More oojamaflips can be found at One Word Sunday.
How tall will you grow?
In our local forest the sign posts direct you to the different exotic species found. Three sequoia varieties are there, the coast or California redwood (Küstenmammutbaum), the giant redwood (Riesenmammutbaum), and the sequioadendron giganteum (Urweltmammutbaum). One of the unique features of the Exotenwald Weinheim is that not only a few specimen were planted but whole hectares of one kind. When the arboretum was started around 1870 almost 1500 sequoias were planted, most of which survived and are now tall and majestic. With the exception of the Urweltmammutbaum, said to be a living fossil and only discovered in 1941 – but there are a few of those as well, planted in 2011 and apparently thriving.
Many of the paths are wide and well maintained, perfect for a stroll rather than a hike.
But it is fun to leave those and turn down (or up) narrower
and darker paths.

Do they have the golden rule?
This is George Heriot’s School in Edinburgh, seen from the street. As I checked on the name I found out that George Heriot was a goldsmith working for royalty around Shakespeare’s time. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
For Nancy’s A Photo a Week asking for photos with the colour gold.

Synecdoche
A synecdoche is a figure of speech by which a part stands for the whole.
This was true when I posted this bee to stand for the whole “earth” – the topic for The Daily Post’s photo challenge from 19 April 2017. One of my first photos for this challenge and one of my personal all time favourites.
Now this one photo stands for all the other photos which I have submitted to this challenge.
I think it is a worthy goodbye.

What’s your angle on this?
For One Word Sunday: angle.
It was an odd angle to take the picture. The building has many angular features. And the whole building has a strange angle to it: it is the only accredited Lithuanian secondary school in Western Europe. Subjects are taught in German and Lithuanian. The building was formerly Castle Rennhof (in Hüttenfeld near Mannheim, Germany) until the school moved there in 1954.
More photos with angles can be found here.
