For me, the crane migration in autumn is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena in northern Germany.
Für mich ist der Kranichzug im Herbst eines der schönsten Naturereignisse im Norden Deutschlands.
Another great watercolour painting by Frank Koebsch. Enjoy!

August was really busy. We celebrated our 40th; wedding anniversary with friends and family. It was lovely that most of them could make it and that everyone got on so well with each other. And many had actually been present on our actual wedding. Great day!

Then we had our niece and her family come to visit for a week. They have two little boys and it was absolutely lovely to have them here, even though it was also a tad exhausting at times. But we always love company.

While helping out another niece and taking her husband to his sick parents, we were not far from the North Sea and seized the opportunity for a short trip to the water. Here are some pictures from Carolinensiel:

Wow, congrats on your 40th anniversary, so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love cranes too!
Here, we have the sandhill cranes, which are so beautiful with their red spot. I'm also lucky to have our house under their migration paths, Spring and Fall. And for some reason, though they sometimes fly very high, I hear them coming from far away. So I often rush out of the house with binoculars and camera. There's usually a day or two when you have flock after flock for most of the day. It's really remarkable.
Happy September to you too, with lots of great books.
Thanks, Emma. It was a very special day.
DeleteAnd the same about cranes. You can hear them from far awy and it's always lovely. At the moment, the represent the end of summer which is always great for me.
Have a great month.
Happy 40th wedding anniversary! That's so awesome. And I love the photo of all those cranes flying overhead. Enjoy your weekend. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lark. I was really lucky with the cranes, doesn't happen often that they form such a shape.
DeleteAnd thanks for your wishes to our anniversary. Nice that everyone is so happy for us.
Happy anniversary! It sounds like you had a really nice day. Also sounds like you had a packed, social, fun month... [grin]
ReplyDeleteSo true, Kitten, thanks. We always try to have a social time but sometimes it is a tad much. Still, we really enjoy it.
DeleteHappy Anniversary! I hope the barbeque worked out. Wonderful cranes! We get the Canadian geese here, on their way south. But it is still too early for them to leave. And Carolinensiel! I biked there with my best friend Ute in high school. We spent a whole week in the area, exploring everything by bike. It is so pretty. And it is wonderful you had your niece and her boys there.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eva. BBQs are always great and I can't remember one that didn't work out. The nice thing, you can prepare the salads etc. and then just throw the meat and veggies on the grill and you're done. Nothing easier.
DeleteAnd lovely that you have such great memories from Carolinensiel and that I could remind you of them.
True, it is a good way to prepare a meal in advance. I love East Frisia and biking there is so much fun.
DeleteIt is a beautiful part of our country.
DeleteSo true.
DeleteThanks.
