Common Blackbird Photo


Even if I uploaded already several common blackbird photos, I don’t stop to take photos of them. They are indeed common, you find them everywhere in Germany, and that means they might be boring for some, but still they are good birds to practice photography. I like the photo in this post as you can see that the bird is walking down the tree branch, I like it if you see this type of movement in a photo, because it makes the photo look lively. If you are new to my blog, you can find more bird photos if you … Continue reading Common Blackbird Photo

Weekly Photo Challenge: Curve


The recent WordPress Photo Challenge has the motto curve. Recently we had a lot of rainy days and that means I didn’t take a lot of new photos, but since I have a huge backlog of non-uploaded photos, I can still contribute to the challenge. The photo in this post was shot when I visited Bad Oldesloe, they have a lot of curved footbridges so that the Trave River can be crossed. By the way, you can find the same bridge in the photo in another post I uploaded some time ago. The currently uploaded photo was taken at the … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Curve

Schellbruch Undergrowth


Here is one photo that I shot last year when I hiked through the Schellbruch. The photo is not very special, but I liked the vegetation or the undergrowth there. You can find some parts of the area there where the vegetation doesn’t look typical German, that makes it interesting. Since I am still too busy for longer hikes, I was not there this year, but I plan to do this again. If you like, check out my previous nature photos. Continue reading Schellbruch Undergrowth

Weekly Photo Challenge: Pure


The recent WordPress photo challenge has the motto “Pure“. I thought I do upload a pure nature shot that I took some time ago in Reinfeld. It’s not that I always do know what I am doing, most often I do just experiment to find out how the photos turn out, and that’s basically what I did when I took the grass photo you can see in this post. It’s pure grass, pure nature, and I love the minimalist approach as pure green looks interesting to me. I hope you like the photo too and check out my other nature … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Pure

My Cat Loves Soft And Relaxing Music


If you wonder why I took a photo of my cat beside headphones, there is a simple and funny explanation. Believe it or not, my cat loves music, but only relaxing and soft music. I discovered this a while back when I did throw my headphones on my couch as I had to answer a phone call, and meanwhile my cat jumped on the couch to listen to the piano music that came from the headphones. At first I thought it would just be cat’s curiosity, but she did rub her nose and fur on the headphones, similar to when … Continue reading My Cat Loves Soft And Relaxing Music
