Catkin Blossom

Dennis

Here is a photo that I shot a month ago or so. I like these small furry buds because they look beautiful. I often see this in springtime, and to be honest, I never knew what kind of plant it would be. But that’s where photography and blogging are very educating, because you want to know what kind of subject you share and you start to research. So, I found out this should be the blossom of a catkin plant, let me know if I am wrong. I hope you like the photo. Continue reading Catkin Blossom

Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise

Dennis

Just until today I didn’t even notice that the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge was moved from Friday to Wednesday. I am subscribed and was wondering why there were no more posts on Friday and didn’t realize that some of their Wednesday emails were about the challenges now. Today they came up with the motto “Surprise” and I want to contribute with one photo that I shot last summer in our garden. My mother played with one of her chickens and it looks like she would surprise the chicken with a gift. Excuse me the bad stylized editing, but the photo … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise

First Long Hike This Year

Dennis

Yesterday was a sunny day, and it was expected that the weather would be good today too. Well, today it was not very sunny and still cold, but the weather was good enough to convince me to go for a long hike. I packed my camera into the bag and visited my grandma, and after “Kaffee und Kuchen” I started my hike. I didn’t have something special in my mind, I just wanted to get out of the city and randomly decided which direction to go. I left the city on the north-west side because that is where I would … Continue reading First Long Hike This Year

Forest Flowers

Dennis

Here is a photo that I shot last year when I hiked through one of the small forests in Reinfeld. I liked it there when spring started, it was so relaxing to walk through the small forest areas and seeing all the things grow. I did also like the winter there, but the spring was definitely more interesting. However, I took tons of photos in both seasons. I think I will hike there again this year, it’s just sad that I can’t do this every day now that I am back in the city since quite some time, because the … Continue reading Forest Flowers

House Sparrow

Dennis

Here is a photo of a house sparrow that I shot during a hike in Bad Schwartau, a town that is smaller and more rural. I found a lot of sparrows on my way, there are much more in rural areas. I did already take several pictures of sparrows in the past, but this time I am actually not that sure if the bird in the picture is a female or male sparrow. However, it’s definitely a sparrow, that’s enough to know to tag this photo correctly for my blog. I hope you liked this photo. Continue reading House Sparrow
