A Promise
It’s not yet a shoot, not quite. But spring has awakened the vine and Dionysus is renewing his promise.
I’m Tired of This
When I saw the prompt encephalopathy I started to look for brains in my archive hoping for a mushroom that looked like one or maybe a poster or mural. Then I read the rest of the description and saw the added myalgic.
Myalgic encephalopathy – aka: chronic fatigue. I don’t know anyone with that affliction, I thought — and then: Stop! Of course, I do know somebody who suffers from that. I actually live with somebody who sleeps most of the day, anytime, anywhere. Meet Henry – who is lucky enough that for him it is considered normal what in others is considered an illness.

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. I remember diving into this fountain one summer night as part of a stunt to get our group elected to the ASTA (the student council). It worked, btw.

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Country Comforts
Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? No, it’s a hawk moth!
The first time I saw this incredible insect I thought it was a hummingbird. Yet – there are no hummingbirds in Europe! I was dumbfounded.
Luckily, I had a knowledgeable friend with me who explained about the hawk moth to me, a hummingbird hawk moth in this case so I wasn’t too far off and not alone in my mistake. 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.

At the Top of its Lungs
May all the people suffering from pneumonia soon have enough air in their lungs to let out screams like this cormorant!

National Glass Centre in Sunderland
It’s been a few years (six, to be exact) since we were in Sunderland and took the opportunity to visit the National Glass Centre. The exhibits range from the mundane (Pyrex measuring jugs) to the sublime (works of art made of glass). And of course, the glass blowing demonstration is a must.
