Taking A Picture of Someone Taking A Picture


Sometimes I walk around with my mother too. She is not hiking the miles I usually do, but she likes to walk through the nature too. But sometimes we just walk through the local parks to have a chat. This is what happened in the picture above. My mother likes to take pictures with her phone, like in the image above where she wanted to take a picture of a swan in a local pond. I thought it would be funny to take a picture of someone taking a picture (laugh). As you can see, we could get pretty close … Continue reading Taking A Picture of Someone Taking A Picture

Mom’s Birthday


Today was the birthday of my mother and she invites me and some other family members to the garde. Of course it was about Kaffee und Kuchen and her birthday. We sat there, talking about this and that for many hours. We enjoyed the day, although the weather cooled a bit down. But since it was way too hot over the last week, everyone enjoyed the fresh weather today. We had many cakes, but this time I only shot a photo of an apple cake… Continue reading Mom’s Birthday

Photo Shooting, Shopping And Tasty Bockwürstchen


I met my mother today because we wanted to go shopping together in a big shopping center.

Mom’s Birthday Barbecue


Friday was the birthday of my mother and we had very good weather and decided to drive to the garden to have a barbecue together. So, mom got a tasty birthday barbecue and we spent time together. We had the usual steaks that we often purchase, but I did visit my favorite butcher and bought shashlik. The shashlik was quite delicious, it was goulash spiked with eggplant and zucchini. My mother made a tasty salad again with tomatoes, peppers, cucumber and onions. We also had potato salad but that was a finished product but tasty anyway. I shot a lot … Continue reading Mom’s Birthday Barbecue

Weekly Photo Challenge: Angular


It seems that I still don’t get email notifications for the weekly photo challenge and that means I don’t participate that often anymore because I miss this reminder. But today I saw other people publish images for this weeks challenge called angular. Well, what does angular mean to me? I think angular comes from the term angles and this means perspective to me. So, I looked in my folders if I have a photo where I did play with different perspectives and I found many. However, there was this one image that my mother shot and that she sent me … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Angular
