The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.

Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Pictures from a nice bumble-bee

Last Sunday we saw this nice bumble-bee. I love this fascinating animals and I would like to share with you the nice pictures.

Eurocheval 2010

The last week one could discover on the Eurocheval in Offenburg, Germany, again at a lot of different horses and find out about everything all around the horse.

We visited the Eurocheval on Sunday. And because I visited this horse exhibition very often in the last years, I noticed some changes.

Earlier there were definitively more horses and not so many sales booth. But now you have a lot of  blank boxes and more sales booth and snack booth.  Nevertheless, the introduced horses were dressed up again with a lot of love to the detail and were given an understanding during the single events to the visitors. Unfortunately, more and more signs “Beware of biting horse!” you can find but not without a reason. Because the behaviour of a lot of visitors is vey bad. Not every pony likes to get grap on the head.

Beside Shetland’s pony, Fjord Horses, Icelandic Horse, Camargue horses and Haflinger the small horses were well represented. The great horses could crow with numerous warmblood horses, Frisians and Spanish horses. The famous stud Marbach was also not absent of course, although they showed only some white Arabian horses this year.  Anyhow the number of cold-blodded horse increased, too. Thus some French cold-blodded horse were beside Ardennern, South German Horse, Black Forrest horses  including. Well, in one of the french horses I have also fallen in love.

Noriker, Quarter Horse were present etc.  Unfortunately, the Shire Horse which were a principal reason for Steffens visit were absent. Only at short notice they had cried off.

All in all, it was again a very successful fair, really well organised. The visitor can feel the experience of the organizer clearly. Pity only that the trend develops slowly more and more to a sales event.

Enclosed some impressions of the fair.

A wonderful summer day in the Black Forrest at the lake…

Flowers Part 2

Enjoy the pictures of the flowers in our garden.

firefly

Yesterday we had barbeque after a hot day in Germany. It was late and we had a very nice conversation with each other. Then it was dark and we saw a firefly. I didn’t see such a beautifull and fascinating animal before. I heard about it and saw it on TV but in real, no. And immediatly we were silent to observe this wonderfull little animal.

The human beings produce many artificial light, but that’s all nothing compared with this green light from the firefly. It was a very impressive encounter.

Flowers

Stept by step the rose in our garden are blooming. So I want to share this wonderfull view with you. Enjoy it.

Funny Flowers

Today Steffen and I plant some very funny flowers which we found by the gardener. Very nice, aren’t they?

Injured Blackbird

Today I was sitting in the living room as a loud boom sounded in the bathroom. And immediatly I know it was a bird who crashed against the window. So I run to look for the bird and Steffen was there, standing next to a dizzy blackbird. We sat the bird in a carton and left her alone to relax and regenerate. From time to time a looked after the blackbird and after a half hour the bird flows away. I was so happy that no bad happend because of the crash with our window. Well, now we buy some window pictures so this doesn’t happen again.

Clement Sparrows

Well at the moment a lot of sparrows are nesting on our house. And they feel very well about our red currant. But well, they are so nice and clement and spare some fruits for us.

Sheeps
