After a long and dark winter, it’s so nice to see nature’s awakening again. Though the nights are still cold, we had warm temperatures (17-20° C) the last days and the sun is shining from a clear blue sky. Yet our catkin is blooming and the first diligent bees are on the job. This weekend the daylight saving time begins here in Germany, always a sign for me that the better days (weather- and photography-related) are arriving.

Pretending beeing dangerous to eat, but contains something fragile and beautiful…

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

In the fields at dusk.

This litte sparrow took life to serious and left his protective nest a bit to early. He releed across our garden and landed (pretty ruggedly) on a stonepost. After I shot the photo, we left him alone and after a while he dissapeard. We couldn’t find him again. Hope he made it safety somehow.

Gulls are very clever when it comes to deal with food. This one caught the bread in mid air and it’s buddys immediately started a wild but unsuccessful pursuit.

Just a “quicky”, I’m a bit short on time again and updates coming rarely, sorry. But on the other hand, hey, this is not a race ;).
