Nice detail: We call the little white flowers โ€žGรคnseblรผmchenโ€œ = โ€žlittle goose flowersโ€œ in German - How fitting!

How pretty! We live higher up in the Bavarian Forest and Iโ€˜m watching every day now for the first crocus. Canโ€™t be much longerโ€ฆ

They just looove the sunny weather. Theyโ€™re chirping their little hearts out on these balmy early spring afternoons. The green finches are busy chirping too. (Not to forget the starlings and the nuthatches andโ€ฆ)

Right now Iโ€™m drinking a cafe crema at our bakery. Excellent as always.

We call them Schneeglรถckchen (little snowbells) here in Germany.

The climate is a little harsher in the Bavarian Forest, where I live, but Iโ€™m eagerly waiting for the first little flowers, usually crocus or celandine to bloom.

Ich muss mich ergรคnzen: โ€ฆ oder soziale Fragen. Umwelt(!)minister Schneider fordert jetzt Mieterschutz.

Das kรถnnte ein erfolgreicher Hebel zur Verhinderung von neuen Gasheizungen mit Beimischung teurer โ€žgrรผnerโ€œ Verbrennungsstoffe sein.

Nice, true colors. I have seen and photographed such a โ€žLichtstimmungโ€œ (lighting mood?) too. Itโ€™s amazing.

We have a pair of red kites hunting over the meadows of a brook within sight of our home. But I have never seen them like this! ๐Ÿ‘

We have some breeding in the higher locust trees. Then you can also here their very soft and beautiful cooing.

Berliners are known for such kind of a humorist. Sometimes itโ€™s even a little rough, bordering on insult. There is a word for it: โ€žBerliner Schnauzeโ€œ

Nice portrait! Apart from the familiar โ€žHoo-Hooo Hooโ€œ they have a strange, harsh call when they are about to land. Took me a long time to find out.

In Germany they are called Tรผrkentaube, โ€žTurkish doveโ€œ, because they came in the 1930s from the southeast region of Turkey to middle and western Europe

Und die SPD: Solange das nix mit Renten und Sozialabgaben zu tun hat ist uns das Wurscht. Soll sie doch machen.

In Germany We used to make fun about the unpunctuality in โ€žsouthernโ€œ countries like Italy or Spain. We called it โ€žMaรฑanaโ€œ. Same thing hereโ€ฆ
