Schaprode Rügen/Germany
Schaprode is a small village at Rügen's west coast. 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 the surrounding nature.

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.
Still early spring
When we spent some days on Rügen/Germany during the Easter days we had lovely wether but spring was still early an not much flowers were to discover yet...

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 :-)
Fleetinsel/Hamburg Germany
Some impressions of the Fleetinsel in Hamburg.
This is an older part of Hamburg between the harbor area and the city centre.

Inspired by Picasso :-)
After we visited this excellent exhibition about the meaning of windows in Picassos paintings, I felt some inspiration taking these pictures ;-)

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. It blossoms in late winter.
All parts are poisonous containing glycosides.

Scientific Collection of Defense Engineering Specimens Koblenz/Germany
Some pictures we took at the Scientific Collection of Defense Engineering Specimens Koblenz/Germany....well, I am not that fond of all this weapon stuff.....but Friedrich enjoyed the collection a lot ;-) And I have to admit, that it is impressive how much knowledge and engineering is behind all this technology....

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...)
