Fruits of My Mind: A Bit of a Splash
http://swenglishexpat.blogspot.com/2011/11/bit-of-splash.html
Thursday, November 10, 2011. A Bit of a Splash. Out for a Sunday walk the other week I saw these people basking in the autumn sunshine having coffee or possibly hot chocolate, because this place serves a wonderful cup (or pot) of cocoa. Sometimes photos come out in the most surprising way, giving you an effect you did not envisage. I learn all the time! Pic of the Week. That is a very cool picture.amazing what happens sometimes. Oreneta - Like I said, I learn all the time (often through mistakes).

Fruits of My Mind: April 2013
http://swenglishexpat.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 19, 2013. We spent a long Easter break in southern Sweden and enjoyed seeing the snow gradually disappear. But it took some time for the ground to absorb it all, making the landscape resemble a lake district more than anything else. When we returned to Germany last Sunday, it was 2 degrees Cel s. Ius when we set off and 22 (! When we arrived here. 20 degrees’ difference in one long drive. Unbelievable! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Subscribe To Fruits of My Mind.

Fruits of My Mind: Insatiable Alsatian!
http://swenglishexpat.blogspot.com/2011/11/insatiable-alsatian.html
Sunday, November 06, 2011. On our walk last time we lost the chicken farmer’s sociable dog to a high-energy chase of a poor little wild boar. Evidently our furry friend could not get enough of us, because when we next tried to sneak past the corner to the farm, he spotted us yet again, and this time from about one hundred metres. He got his paws wet in the ditches along the narrow country lanes, and he crossed the road to explore everything he could smell, hear or see. Luckily for us, our neighbours were...

Fruits of My Mind: Back Garden Wildlife
http://swenglishexpat.blogspot.com/2013/03/back-garden-wildlife.html
Thursday, March 14, 2013. The other day I was left frustrated by my rather outdated computer. It is not that old, but you know how technology ages at the speed of light it seems. I had spotted a buzzard in trees just outside our garden several times, but had not been fortunate to have the photo equipment set up. But the other day was different. I took over 500 (! Pictures of a beautiful buzzard perched on a branch overlooking the garden. My PC buggered it all up! I feel happier now! Have a great weekend,.

Fruits of My Mind: And I thought it was just ...
http://swenglishexpat.blogspot.com/2013/03/and-i-thought-it-was-just.html
Tuesday, March 26, 2013. And I thought it was just . An ordinary heron in winter clothes! I had seen this white bird with a yellow beak in some fields and also in and around a small lake in the forest. It could not be a stork, was my first reaction. Then when I spotted it standing in the shallow lake my guess was that it was a heron, but in winter white somehow. However I have the evidence it is here, and has been here for some time as well, out of season and out of its area. View my complete profile.

Fruits of My Mind: Winter meets spring

Fruits of My Mind: Now That’s a Scarecrow!
http://swenglishexpat.blogspot.com/2011/11/maybe-you-did-not-know-but-scarecrows.html
Friday, November 18, 2011. Now That’s a Scarecrow! Maybe you did not know, but scarecrows used to be just that, real crows to scare off crows and other unwanted, opportunistic scavengers. This is how some farmers still do it in France, however cruel, unethical and non-pc it may seem to some people. (Don’t worry,they shoot them first.). Oh gosh - great but macabre pic! LadyFi - It almost looks medieval. Zuzana - I had heard of it before but never seen one. By the way, there were no other birds close by.

Fruits of My Mind: October 2011
http://swenglishexpat.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 15, 2011. The other day the rain suddenly disappeared and the morning sun surprised us. The sun shone through the wooden blinds and I knew I had to grab my trusted Nikon and go and get some autumnal images. I felt I could not trust the sun to stay, so I wolfed down my morning porridge and dashed out. Here are a handful, well seven then, photos from my neighbourhood. Wednesday, October 12, 2011. Pic of the Week. Monday, October 10, 2011. That Girl Again – Her Tragic Background. Like I wr...

Fruits of My Mind: July 2011
http://swenglishexpat.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 21, 2011. I have had these tickets to go hot air ballooning for two years, and we still have not been able to take off into the skies. The weather never seems to be right; absolutely perfect conditions are apparently required. So instead I went for a walk with my camera. Friday, July 15, 2011. Water Music in Gent. A man was using his whole body weight in order to steer this, as it turned out to be, Bangladeshi wooden boat. A pianist was assisted by a helper to both keep the sheet music...
