I am participating in a project where I photograph the same view over a course of a year.

I decided to document the changes from month to month on a group of trees in the fields I pass by every day for several times.

May's picture (the last in the row below) was shot yesterday late afternoon. It was a hazy day again with a bit of fog lingering around all day long. It had rained a lot the day before yesterday and it is still quite cold right now for this time of the year.

Finally I know, what will grow on the field in front of the trees! Sugar-beets!

It took many weeks for the little leafs to break thru the soil and show but now they are here.

Sparkle Blue!

Underwater on a sunny day...

It is so incredibly calm and peaceful under water - the resistance slows down my movements and gives me a free, floating slow motion feeling. I listen only to my even breath while fully taking in this amazing indescribable beauty.

So relaxing - I wish, i could be at the ocean right now...

You too? 

Sparkle Blue is collected by Bine from "was eigenes" and Jolijou.

Happy Day,

Bookcrossing is a worldwide forum for book reading, book exchange and releasing books!

So - here is what happened.  

Helga from Holunderblütchen found this absolutely adorable little book called "Elfi und Schmalzmann auf Wanderschaft" while jogging in a park.

Someone had put it in a bag and hung it on a tree so it could be found. By Helga.

And after Helga enjoyed it she decided to sent the book on a "blogger-journey" and I was next! 

The small book is written in 1957 and tells about everyday life of a family that raises pets and rescues wild animals in their apartment!

Sounds - äh - a bit strange - but it really is a treasure with its black and white photographs and the glimpse into life short after war.

It brought many fond childhood memories back to me because my father raised a lot of animals too when my brother and I were young in the sixties and seventies.

As much as I would love to keep the book forever I will of course honor Helgas idea and send it to the next blogger: Holunder

Andrea lives in the south of Germany at beautiful Bodensee and loves animals and nature.

The book will be in good hands...
