It’s fun walking through dead leaves, kicking them to the side, rustling and swishing.

Now where did I put it?
Tonight children all over Germany will put their boots in front of the door so that St Nicholas can fill them with small gifts. I wonder if he will find this one?

Where to start?
Eschudel’s word for the Ragtag Daily Prompt for today is wine.
I live in a town which is called Weinheim, where wine is grown and the city arms features a wine ladder.
So I stop right here. —
Beware the goose

Hug a human, embrace humanity
The artist Jean Luc Bambara from Burkina Faso has named this sculpture “la protection“. I mainly see a hug, possibly the most human of all actions.

Crowned oak and acorns
A family crest. — Addendum: I HAVE to add this. I found this crest (taken from a mausoleum) in my archives. I liked the crown and I liked the oaks and acorns and so I picked it for the challenge. However, I have a photo of the whole mausoleum so I checked the inscription out of curiosity. Here it is:
So this is the final resting place of one Georg Wilding with the title of a prince. His grandfather married a Neapolitan princess and thus came by the title. Now it happens that I have an American friend with this surname. She doesn’t THINK she is related but the acorns and oak seem oddly familiar to something she has seen in her father’s genealogy research. She will let me know. Isn’t this exciting / weird / strange / interesting?
Even if nothing comes of it, it made me renew a friendship.

Burned stone
The Baltic Sea has the richest treasure of amber. In the towns on the coastline amber is omnipresent in museums, jewellery shops and just as a reference. Stralsund was part of the Hanseatic league in the middle ages and the typical ship of the seafaring traders, a cog, was included in the official seal. Jewellers in Stralsund combined these traditions to create this iconic brooch.
