The Henhouse


This post here will be less about photography. I show you some snapshots of a henhouse. I tell you something that will be fun! We get chickens very soon! We get them probably by the end of the week. These will be Sussex chickens. The husband of my mother wants to hold them in the garden and he did already build a henhouse… He also got the neighbouring garden lot now. The lot fully burned down a long time ago and the owner didn’t need it anymore, there was not much left other than destruction. But the husband of my … Continue reading The Henhouse

Water Pump In Our Garden


One of the great things about the D7100 is that I can now literally can freeze water on a photo. That was often difficult with my point and shoot, but with the DSLR you really can get crystal clear photos of running water. I do also like that I can crop the image and there are not much details lost if I do so. Here I will show you the original and the cropped photo of the water pump in our garden and the water jet, you need to click on the images to enlarge them. Continue reading Water Pump In Our Garden

December Barbecue in the Garden


Yesterday we decided to have a barbecue in the garden. It is already quite cold outside but this didn’t stop us to go shopping and to drive to the garden.

We enjoyed the evening even if it was cold but we did warm our hands near the fire and we also have a small cottage with a heater in the garden, so that we could eat inside where it was warmer. I enjoyed … Continue reading December Barbecue in the Garden

Autumn Barbecue


It’s fall and already quite cold here in Northern Germany. Anyway, we got the idea to make barbecue in our garden. It’s very nice if it’s cold but if you can warm up near the fire. Sadly I didn’t take photos of the food. We made buns and ate them with sausages and mustard. But I showed sausage buns already a couple of times on my blog, I guess. A fast search brought this article up for example. It’s true, we eat sausage very often and it is tasty! Continue reading Autumn Barbecue

Barbecue In The Garden


One of the great things about the garden of my mother and her husband is that we can also have a barbecue there. We usually did that either on the balcony of my mother or on the campground of grandma and grandpa in Salem. But now we did that also in the garden that is not far away. Anyway, while I am an autumn lover, it´s somewhat sad that it gets soon too cold to go to the garden. But we will do that next year again for sure. Continue reading Barbecue In The Garden
