River Views #40: Special Guest II

The same Crested Grebe as in the previous image, but there was someone photobombing this exposure… I have no idea what sort of fish was swimming by there, but it seems to be really huge!

Tiny Daffodils made look huge with macro photography – almost from a bug’s perspective :-).

The Italian Flyer

We saw and heard this really strange plane circling three times overhead today – it looks really weird from below and the buzzing noise was so loud that we thought it might be a drone or something. But it turns out that it’s in fact a small passenger plane, a Piaggio P-180 Avanti!

Anemone 101. Sorry, I have a LOT of photos of these, but
they always look a little different each time I look at them.

River Views #39: Special Guest I

I believe this is a Great Crested Grebe, which I encountered back in 2009 on the West side of Mülheim’s Schloßbrücke. It looks a bit stroppy here because it was diving down a lot to look for food.
