What a difference a week makes!


Same month, same lake,  a week later.  Amazing the difference.  See for yourself.










As the winter draws in the birds gather nearer the lake side where it is warmer.





       And you thought ´bottoms up´was a turn of phrase....











.....Nope, here it is very much the real deal.
































Happy Thanks Giving!

A gentle stroll in the November sun....


So last Saturday the sun shone.   I put all house work on hold - like I need too much of a reason to put housework on hold, and I went for a walk.  

And this is how it looked on the Bodensee in the sun last Saturday afternoon.  
Clearly I don´t have to add much to these pictures,  
Enjoy!













Yes, the pictures below do need some explanation:  The man is balances stones.  No glue.  


What he is doing here is balancing very different size stones on top of one another.  See results on right.


This is all balance, no stickie stuff used.  It is very interesting to watch him in action.




He has worked on this little stone village for over two years....





And something else you often see in parks in Germany, indeed anywhere there are two trees near one another




I just love this schulpture below... it conjures all sorts of `happy´for me....











And this is the Autum Leaves Princess herself.  No lie!





The picture below is a close up of the Santis Mountain which you can see above. The mountains are over 70 miles away.



The sun going down on a lovely gentle day...
