The fountain at the Geschwister-Scholl-Platz in Munich
is situated right in front of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität where I registered many years ago to study dramatic art and German language and literature.

Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? No, it’s a hawk moth!

It’s not a very common moth but not that rare either and I was delighted that I managed a few shots of the insect while it was feeding.

Operation “She Lost Her Key”
was not successful.
A friend of ours was missing her key after a picnic. My dedicated husband spent a good hour on his knees to look for the single, small key – to no avail. She received a HUGE keyring as a present when we met her next.
