Bad Summer Weather


This here is less of a photo post, which means it is not a photo that is special or so. However, it shows very well how the majority of summer days this year look like in Northern Germany. I wish I could get more out to take photos, although I have still plenty of photos that I didn’t upload yet. But wandering with the camera is so much fun, it’s just that I don’t want to risk it too often with the new camera. I have a camera bag, but it’s not the best bag for rain protection. Using the … Continue reading Bad Summer Weather

A Cat I Saw In The Gardens


I was wandering along the trails where all the garden are to find new photo subjects. Then I saw a bicolor cat in one of the gardens. This bicolored cat was not really shy, came through the garden fence and stopped in front of me to say hello. The cat was also pretty chatty and it was cute to hear all the miaou. The cat might have noticed the smell of Shyna on my clothes, who knows. It’s also interesting that it was a black and white cat as well. I have some more photos… Continue reading A Cat I Saw In The Gardens

European Herring Gull Enjoying The Rain


I shot the photo of the European herring gull yesterday when I drove to Travemünde with a friend. As mentioned in a previous post, it became rainy as soon as we arrived. It was a little bit sad because I wanted to take photos. Some say that you can use the D7100 in rain and others said you can damage the camera on this way. I shot some photos but decided to put the camera back into the bag when the rain got heavier. I have no problems to use the camera in soft rain, but I do not want … Continue reading European Herring Gull Enjoying The Rain

More Garden Flowers


I noticed I shoot more photos than I ever upload. That was already the case when I still used my point and shoot or smartphone camera, but it’s even more the case with the DSLR as I pretty much enjoy to be outside with the camera. The photo above is taken in the garden again, as always I am not sure what kind of flowers they are, but I liked the scene and took a photo. I like both, the flowers in the background and the ones in the foreground. I think the flowers in the foreground are rather wildflowers. … Continue reading More Garden Flowers

First Garden Yields


On friday when we celebrated mom’s birthday in the garden, we also checked out how the garden plants are doing. We found the first radishes, we found three of them. Mom got one, her husband and I tested one too. Apart from the fact that I am a real fan of radishes, the garden radish tasted extremely good. The husband of my mother doesn’t like chemicals, he prefers to let the things grow on their own and you taste it. The garden radish was actually more tasty than those you get in the stores. Next we also checked out the … Continue reading First Garden Yields
