Sunny treat

After two stressy, crap days at work the weather was a very welcomed treat!

What a weird tree this is, such a short trunk and such a full head!



And ohh, those flowers were beautiful!



This "mess" on the ground looks like a one-eyed duck to me:



Somehow we now have the beer from Hamburg, ASTRA (german) - made with love:





Reminds me that I really could need a holiday at the sea! Really!
Just not possible at the moment, more stressy (and I suppose fun!)-times ahead.

The car is ready to go, it has the Brunswick emblem now:



Well, Brunswick.. we don´t have the The Phantom of the Opera, no, we have the The Phantom of the Oker (- I´d never go to Hanover) (german) - with the Oker being a river that also runs through town and made the town that strong in the first place:



Sadly, it´s sold out!
It´s about the old fight between Brunswick/Braunschweig and Hanover/Hannover: A curse is laid upon both and can only be fought if the two get a happy couple. I hope they bring it on once more! The poster on the Brunsviga (german) opposite our apartment reminds me of being too late every day!

The only thing I love about saying good-bye to summer - the colors:



And a decent cup of coffee from my new cup, a true cup of someone who lives in the town of Henry the Lion :-)



Happy weekend, everyone!

Loving the photos showing the Autumn colour changes! You know we don't get that here, don't you?

Can I put an early request in for photos of Christmas markets too!

I know, but you have the wildflowers blooming right now, no?

Yips, I took the days off from Dec 15 on - I assume there will be Christmas markets pics, a few from last year are still here at flickr.

I was so astonished to find nothing more than Christmas trees in Perth. No markets at all. I knew I wouldn´t find or want (!) hot mullet wine, but I did expect something, no?

Ohhh, thanks for the award!
