I’ll better post this before the tomatoes grow even more… it’s not a flood yet, but it could be coming!

And for a change, something from the street side: the Rowan / Vogelbeere has now sprouted a lot of berries, but they are not quite red yet. But I think they’re going to be a good meal for the birds :-).

Apparently, I was visited by a hornet the other day – I didn’t even know that they were still around here. This one just stopped for a quick rest on a wine leaf and then peacefully buzzed off again :-).

A Borretsch / Borrage flower – are they called Star Flowers because of their shape?

Some nice cloud formations this evening, prettified with a bit of filter fun :-).

This A330 from Air China flying from Düsseldorf to Beijing has been buzzing us every evening for several days – but yesterday I finally got a good shot, even with a bit of setting sun giving it a nice glow :-).

I showed a similar perspective before from a 2009 photo, but I think this view of the Petrikirche from below is the better one, even if it’s only an early 2003 shot made with a 2 megapixel Canon Powershot A200.

I don’t even exactly remember where this tree is – I found this shot while looking for something appropriate for #TreeTuesday over on Google+ :-).

The Spring- and Summerflowers need a successor, so here’s an eggplant flower from the balcony!

I posted the first entry of the Springflowers series back on April 17th and the last one yesterday, almost three months later. I never thought that the collection would be so huge this year, but the photo opportunities just kept coming and in July I renamed the series to Summerflowers. Now, in the middle of July, it’s time to bring the series to an end and collect all the photos into their own gallery. There are actually 101 images in there, because somewhere I seem to have lost count. But here they are – 101 flowers :-).
