Weekly Photo Challenge: Color


I had to search for a photo in my folders for the “Weekly Photo Challenge: Color” because as said, here in north germany is still everything full of snow. I found this flower here and I did shoot the photo last summer. I do think that the colors are pretty powerful and therefor I do think it is a good photo to participate in the challenge. What do you think? Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Color

First Signs of Springtime 2013


My mother and me saw the first growing flowers of 2013 yesterday when we walked through downtown of Lübeck. Apart from the first sunbeams we enjoyed, this is a great sign too that Springtime is on the way. I think we have a lack of Vitamin D already and it is great to know that the weather warms up slowly. It was great to see those flowers because they are a sign. Sadly I can´t tell you the name of the flower since I am sadly not a botanist. But maybe you know the name? They are beautiful in the … Continue reading First Signs of Springtime 2013

A lot of dead Flowers but one did survive. That´s what we found on our Journey through the Animal Park of Mölln. The Photo is in bad Quality and somewhat blurry but the Scene is cool anyhow. I mean it´s really funny that there are so many dead Flowers but one did survive. There was a Sign which said it is a Common Foxglove, Lady´s Glove or Purple Foxglove (These are the Translations I found from german to english). I was suprised that the Flower is called Purple Foxglove as the Flower is white. I just can see three Reasons … Continue reading There is just one strong Flower which did survive… and the Flower is poisonous.

Leafhoppers on a Rhododendron? I think it´s a Rhododendron or?


I noticed these Leafhoppers on a Plant when I visited my Grandma and Grandpa in the Nature on their Campground in Salem Germany. I am not sure about the Plant. When I remember right, my Grandpa said it is a Rhododendron. What do you think? I am right? Is it a Rhododendron? EDIT: Big thanks goes to Alice… She gave me the Information that the Plant is definitely a Rhododendron. She also did correct me that the Insects are Leavehoppers as I thought they would be called Grasshoppers. Theirfor I was able to correct my Blogpost. I just did stand … Continue reading Leafhoppers on a Rhododendron? I think it´s a Rhododendron or?

Raindrops on a purple Flower


This Flower with the Raindrops on it is pretty beautiful. I thought this Photo is worth to be shared.. Anyway I am somewhat unhappy because I maybe badly messed around with the color corrections this time. I think the colors are looking somewhat agressive. I am not sure. What do you think? You can find more Flower Photos on my Blog. Continue reading Raindrops on a purple Flower
