Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual


This week the WordPress Photo Challenge is about unusual things, and I think I can participate with a photo. When I lived in Reinfeld for a half year, I did often hike through the small forest areas because it was so easy and fast to get to the forests compared to living in a city. You get used to it that you have more nature next to your door than in a city. I sometimes walked the same routes, but sometimes I also tried to discover different ways. One day I walked a to me new route, and then I … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual

Grey Heron Video And Photo


In this post I show you a photo of a grey heron (Ardea cinerea) again, but this time also a video as I basically promised in another post. Talking about the photo I must say that I am not happy with the quality, but often my 300mm lens is not enough and also in this case I had to crop heavily again. Anyway, photography is mainly about the subject and I am happy when I can get one of these shots, even if I have to crop. I also filmed the video with my 300mm lens, it’s a bit difficult … Continue reading Grey Heron Video And Photo

Beautiful Blossoms


I don’t know when and where exactly I took this photo, but I thought it looks beautiful and I want to have this in my personal online library of photos. As always when I upload a flowery photo, I have no idea what kind of plant this is. I find it much more difficult to research about plants than let’s say animals or birds. I hope you like this photo and if you are new to the blog, check out my photography portfolio if you are in the mood to take a look at photos. Continue reading Beautiful Blossoms

Beautiful Grey Heron


Since I started to run, I always try to run routes where I can see a bit of nature. Yesterday when I was running again, I noticed a grey heron and I was a bit mad that I did not have my camera with me. When I was in Reinfeld back then I noticed that grey herons often come back to the same ponds. So, with that in mind I packed my camera bag and wanted to hike the same route that I did run yesterday. I was quite happy when I saw the grey heron again, but this time … Continue reading Beautiful Grey Heron

More Fruits


If you are readings my blog since some time, you probably heard that I love vegetables, especially tomatoes and cucumber or anything that goes into the salad. Yeah, that’s fine, because I know people who hate vegetables and I am glad that I am different in this case. The issue is however that I usually shared the same feeling about fruits, I wouldn’t say that I hate fruits but they were simply not often on my menu, except bananas maybe. When I was shopping today I saw beautiful looking apples and got the idea to start eating more fruits. Sometimes … Continue reading More Fruits
