Balcony Flowers 2016 #445


This shot of my Chrysanthemums from December 10 is the last of the Balcony Flowers from last year. The 2017 season has not yet started, in fact we had a brief bout of snow today – so this series is going to take a little break until spring when the first tulips are going to arrive. Instead I’ll start to post the complete galleries of last year in a couple of days when I’ve properly organized them.

River Views #141: Autumn on the Ruhr 31


The railway viaduct left of Mülheim’s old railway bridge, which has looked like this since at least the late 1800s. Without the stupid graffiti on the pillars, of course!

My Schlumbergera cactuses are still at it, and were for most of the past month. This is from January 19!
