The ferries to the beautiful island Hiddensee start here, which makes the place rather lively and there is a quite some community of hobby fishermen, who meet here. Some decent restaurants makes it easy to survive ;-) But the best of this place is...

Easter Sunday
At Easter Sunday we had a wonderful extended walk at the Northern beach of the German island Rügen. Although spring just started it was mild temperature. We enjoyed a lot being out in the nature with this wonderful fresh air, the taste of sea salt and the width of the open ocean landscape.

Blossoms
I guess these might be of ornamental plums? No quite sure, but it is always wonderful, when nature starts all over again after winter :-)
...
Camellia
First camellia blossom this year.
I bought this plant recently on the local farmer's market, so I guess it is a bit earlier than usual...

Happy beginning of spring (March 20th)
Since at outdoors spring shows it's reluctant side, at least inside the house it is fresh and beautiful :-)

Helleborus foetidus
Stinking hellebore: Well the name is not very attractive....we smelled nothing but were surprised finding these plants all over the wood when we were on a hiking tour at Mühlbachtal-Bopard/Germany...
It is growing wildly in mountain regions of Southern and Central Europe as well as Asia Minor....

This afternoon in the middle of Hamburg.....
We were absolutely surprised when this hawk landed with it's prey (poor little pigeon :-/) in our garden. I would not have expected such a bird of prey right in the middle of a major city.....
(Apologies for the quality of the picture, but the hawk stayed only for one very quick shot and was gone....
Metternich Hill
These pictures were taken on a walk at the Metternich Hill close to Koblenz/Germany at the beginning of this week.
