School's Out
Tilian got his mid-year report card for second grade. Straight A’s in all main subjects and conduct marks.
Black Ice
Lots of black ice on the farmers road and large chunks of frozen snow on the sides which looked like icebergs. It’s been below zero for weeks and quite enjoyable. I dread when it all melts and gets wet again.
Bubblegum Blue
Saw this bubblegum-blue tractor during my daily tour with Aika. Everything is brown and dark in winter and I am a sucker for some color during my walks.
Wolf Tracking
Nadine went wolf tracking last weekend and took great shots. It took place across the Czech border and was organized by two wildlife academies: Funkenflug and Heidefeuer.
Abandoned
Came across this abandoned place. The window color (tm) gives it a nice contrast.
Overtaken
I went for a two-hour walk with Aika, didn’t get any good shots except the usual brick-buildings from across the river (51.140149, 12.230809). After two hours, a group of older road cyclists passed me, dropped a cheeky comment and sped off.
Melt
Nadine went to Czechia to learn about tracking of wolves and other animals. She took the Sony RX100 VII and I got to use her new Canon EOS 2000D. The kids kept me busy inside and outside, the only shot that I eventually kept was the one of snow slowly melting down our greenhouse.
Pheasant
Went for a long walk and did some meetings from the phone while the light was great outside. Saw a pheasant, a young buck and heron.

Blue
I have been trying to be more active in the last days, averaging around 16.000 steps each day, both treadmill supported but also more walks with Aika. Today I came across this blue net hanging ourside of a barn and I just could not figure out what it’s supposed to do.
