The rooms of the keep of the Starkenburg above Heppenheim have the best view in the youth hostel (the castle is used by the Deutsche Jugendherbergswerk). It’s not the original keep, though.

To Point
I know “intransitive” in the grammatical meaning but that is really difficult to illustrate in a photo. An intransitive is “not aiming at anything”; i.e. has no object.
So here it is, an arrow being intransitive: not aiming at going up (considering it is at the bottom of a tower) nor aiming at the money box (because that was way over the other side).
An intransitive arrow. Not pointing at anything. Just pointing.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Intransitive
It’s Not a Competition
I saw the prompt and knew I wanted to use this photo:
Not the best photo but the whiskers are really strong and prominent.
However Henry, our cat, had none of it. He immediately came and showed off his whiskers:
And he didn’t consider it beneath him to show a bit of his teeth as well.

Birds Need to Keep Warm, Too
In our local park there is an aviary with exotic birds (i.e. birds from warmer climes). They need a heater during winter.
This is what it looks from five steps away:
He’s Been Overwintering with Us
in his exoskeleton snacking on mealiebugs in their exoskeleton. I wish he’d brought his hungry family and their exoskeletons. I think.
This Might Even Bug Bears
I’m not a fan of smoking and I am thankful that over the years I’ve come less and less in contact with this unwelcome habit. But my particular bugbear is when idiots cannot dispose of their cigarette butts in a decent fashion.
I saw this particular puddle in a nature reserve, of all places.
The Chair and Chain
I’m not sure if chair-o-planes or swing caroussel is the right word in English but we call these fairground rides Kettenkarussell or chain caroussels.
My Husband Called Me Fat, Again.
When I hear plump the first thing I think of is birds, preferably chicken. But pigeons work, too, it seems.
A Risqué Name
The Ragtag Daily Prompt and Fandango’s prompt for FOWC came together serendipitously for me today.
And yes, I am known by this name. That’s the name many people have in the phonebooks. And they call me that name, too, although often only Knicker or Knickers. I have T-shirts and jackets with that name and even a business card with that name on it. It’s difficult to explain to outsiders although the story behind it is a lot less risqué than what the embroidered picture suggests.
