The First Dandelion of Spring 2019
I found it in the Fischergasse this afternoon. And here is a bonus flower. I don’t know its name and I couldn’t find it with Krautfinder. It’s in the lawn of the VHS…

Finally there’s some nice weather in Bavaria. Sunday we took a drive down the Deutsche Hopfenstraße. The hops harvest is generally completed; the wires are empty but the hops cones are on their way to bring joy to millions around the world. Our goal was Abensberg, for a tour of… Read more »
Photo Post: Cats of Munich
Last Friday, after months of saying, “Hey, I should ride into town with Roland some morning and use the U-Bahn to explore while he’s at work” I finally did. My destination was the Lenbachhaus, which owns the world’s largest collection of work by Der Blaue Reiter, a group of early-20th… Read more »
