strange strange event and an absolute inundation of the likes never seen before.

riding the bike at dusk was like being rained upon

spiralling into the air atop the trees - i never knew they flew so high

none were in the apartment thankfully to buzz me or bite me or keep me awake at night.

of course these sweet little creatures were in heaven

flying and flitting by so fast my camera couldn't really capture them

and at times they flew so low overhead, such sweet curious creatures

much smaller than our bats in sydney,these little ones are so so cute

that's what the evenings have been like this week - warm, windstill & alive with the energy of the night.

They call it Goldene Herbst (or Golden Autumn) here - we call it an Indian summer. I just call it unexpectedly summery weather - and I am loving it. And it makes for cool crisp foggy mornings which are so moody and get me up out of bed early! Thank you Mother Nature you are just so beautiful.

funny how autumn has started but it's now warmer and sunnier than it was in summer....i am not complaining.
only taking advantage and appreciating and being outside as much as possible because i know what's coming soon.

Autumn has started with a bang! Beautiful warm sunny days, redpinkgolden sunrises & sunsets and the leaves are beginning to turn already.......and I am making plans to come home for summer so it feels more like Spring in my heart I guess.....feeling excited & happy!

This weekend past was the last time for gathering wild fruit and berries. It is so deeply satisfying taking from mother nature like this. And all Organic! First came the Elderberry blossoms, but the champagne went unfortunately foul somehow in the bottling. Then came the bilberries. Finding this perfectly pristine patch and then picking these little beauties felt like a lotto win. Most of them were eaten with pancakes. Then the blackberries. There were so many of these in so many places. Picking them is a bit harder because of the thorns - but the pain is worth it. And then finally the Elderberries. In the end we made 22 bottles of juice and a spicy chutney. And we got the occasional apple, pear and tomato too. Could mushrooms be next?

You have made me smile - who is challenging whom?
In homage to your 1st posting which I naturally couldn't help but see,and my love of all things "wood", I share with you a place 2 minutes from where I am sitting.
