C is for Cute Cat

By chance, Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday calls for C. Thanks to Flecki, I can definitely offer cute cat photos.

"Hello, my name is Flecki, and I chose to live with Birgit."

Posing next to my Halloween pumpkin.

 

Summertime and the living is easy...

Hypnotic stare.

Sticking out the tongue.

 

Another hypnotic stare.

Master of ballet.

Grooming.

R is for Red

Back in June, I spotted a red field next to the highway.

It turned out to be a field of poppies.

 

Such beautiful red flowers.

 

So my R for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday is red.

Z is for Zoo

Munich has its own zoo -- Tierpark Hellabrunn. What a great Z for Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday!

 

I visited the zoo in August on a hot sunny day. The very first animals at the entrance are flamingos.

A beautiful snake.

Luminous jellyfish.

This friendly guy loved the camera!

Little Ludwig who celebrated this second birthday in May 2013.

Big bite.

Yawn -- always so many humans watching me.

A really elegant zebra -- and another Z for Alphabe-Thursday.

This polar bear is surely dreaming of winter.

 Lively and agile seals.

Lunch break.

I am watching you!

Street Festival in Neubiberg

In the beginning of July, there was a street festival on the main street in Neubiberg near Munich.

Here you could buy lottery tickets to win plants. I bought one and lost -- c'est la vie!

Bacon rolls.

Fish on sticks.

An old steam carousel.

Unique animal figures.

And a creepy monkey.

Pretty balloons.

Treasure hunters' hunting ground.

Bavarian music (the real thing).

Scarves in all kind of colors.

A young Bavarian with long hair.

Tiger, tiger.

So much to see along the way.

And many opportunities to sit down and have something to eat and drink.

Beautiful plants to buy.

I hope you enjoyed the stroll over the street festival.

Pink Peony

The most lovely pink peony ever! I took the photo in June with Beverly's Pink Saturday in mind.

Happy Pink Saturday!

Pink Flowers

In June, I happened to see these beautiful pink flowers when I was running errands. Fortunately, I had my camera with me. Isn't this photo perfect for Beverly's Pink Saturday?

Happy Pink Saturday!

R is for Rose

Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday is always a great way to show you photos which I have wanted to share for a long time. Here is a photo from June showing the beautiful Da Vinci rose in my garden:

The rose has a wonderful shade of pink and velvety petals:

I took this photo during the blue hour on 21st of July. The light changes the appearance of the rose dramatically.

June Joys

June brought a lot of joys -- a fiery sunset.

Beautiful orange roses.

Cold drinks and reading entertainment (The Twelve by Justin Cronin).

A stunning, fairy-tale like rose bush.

Blooming bushes.

Hungry visitors.

Gorgeous lilies.

Amazing clematis.

Stickeez.

Another blooming bush.

The growing tomato plant.

Japanese marple bush.

Marple fruit.

Delicious cherries.

Tiramisu.

Needless to say that my June was joyful.
