  4. I am appreciating this walk down ornithological memory lane, Valerie, with portraits of the birds who make your daily walks so pleasant. Just think for a moment how little they demand from nature, while we claim it all, mine the Earth, fill the land with garbage and poison the air and water. Birds are model citizens, they coexist with other creatures and their habitat is left intact and fully functioning. We could learn a lot from birds, but of course we never will. All of your coffees look delicious. I am sure that you have the widest collection of photographs of cups of coffee in the world. Marketers needing the perfect picture for an advertising campaign need only to contact you. Make sure they pay royalties! A friend of ours recently gave us a bag of shade-grown Costa Rican coffee and I have to say that it is delicious. I saw it in the store recently where I am pretty sure she bought it and I was shocked at the price. A generous gift indeed, but she is a very thoughtful person. She also brought over a basket of apples from her garden. Yesterday Miriam made focaccia bread and I have great cheese in the house. Life is good! Hugs and kisses - David

    1. Hi David, glad you liked the birds. Yes, humans tink they are the best living beings on the planet, but at the moment they seem to be the best in destroying the world. I watched a film yesterday about the north pole and how the ice is melting, it was really scary!
      I do have a good amount of coffee photos, how did you know?! Those rare coffees are wonderful, I sometimes buy myself a small amount from the coffee shop here, and the best thing is tasting the coffees beforehand! Focaccia bread and good cheese are really good, and I'm sure you had a nice glass of wine to go with it! Have a great week, David, take care! Hugs xxxxxxx

  7. My previous comment disappeared for some reason. I guess we think alike. We both love coffee. I prefer Cold Brew, though. I love cold and bold coffee.

  10. Your photos are wonderful... thank you very much.
    I also love coffee in all its facets and now I especially love the fantastic color of the leaves... a dream in the forest.
    A hug from Viola
    Happy week for you.

  11. Loved all the quotes and memes. Thank you for the wisdom.

  12. Hi Valerie, you always have such intertesting photos to show us. I think the one looking through the brick archway looking at the sea would make a great starting point for a journal page, collage or fabric design. Now look! you've done it, I must go and make a Latte, scrummy. Thanks for the lovely comment ovefr at mine too. The card is a lot easier to make than it looks. Hugs, Angela xXx

    1. Yes, that's a lovely view. It was taken in the castle ruins here, looking through the window down to the Rhine. Hope you enjoyed your Latte! Hugs!

  16. Your views of the Rhine are always fun to see: somehow it's in my mind as halfway mythical, with Die Lorelei and other poetry occupying space in my mind.

    1. I love the Rhine, and there are so many lovely places along it. Die Lorelei is magic, but other parts, too. I'm glad I live near it. Hugs!

  17. I always love your photos from your town and your views of the Rhine! I agree with the meme about real connection. Enough with superficial topics, let's talk about the real stuff.
    Have a happy tea day, Valerie,

    1. Thanks Kate. I only have 2 people where we really talk, and don't just blah-blah-blah! A real exchange is so good! Hugs.

  18. You have some more fun memes today Valerie. And enough superficial chat. I think we all need more time to sit around with some kind of drink and really talk. Nice to see and see again your photos. I hope you had a nice relaxing weekend and have a great T day too. hugs-Erika

  20. Your first image trifft den Nagel auf den Kopf! I really like deep connections as well, and it's not always easy to get them. I always love your coffee photos - is that a gebrannte Mandel next to one of the cups? The last time I had real gebrannte Mandeln was in Munich last year in May - so delicious! I bet you can get them at the upcoming Weihnachtsmärkte. That's when I usually got them and at the Kirmes of course. Happy T day, Valerie, have a good week.

    1. Es ist schwer Leute zu finden die wirklich was zu sagen haben.. ... Oh ja, gebrannte Mandeln werden oft zu Kaffee gereicht. Und unsere Weihnachtsmarkt beginnt bald...Reibekuchen und Mandeln und alles duftet so schön! Ich freue mich! Dir eine gute Restwoche, Alles Liebe!

  27. Ein interessanter Beginn, das wunderbare Drink Beer Taferl, und bei den Kaffeetassen kriege ich sowieso immer Lust auf eine feine Tasse - Happy T-day

  28. I'm with you with 'the real connection'. But it's not always easy. There are only a few people I have that sort of connection with.
    And I always love to see your photos of your walks. I agree that photos of misty weather are beautiful. But I wouldn't like to go out in that sort of weather. The damp goes right through my clothes and makes me feel cold however warm I am dressed. I've had more than a month of dampness and rain and I am glad to be back in Spain.
    Happy T-Day,.

    1. If you live near the Rhine, you need to like fog and mist! But I really love it here. Although I come from London I have a deep connection to this place where I live. In London we lived right by the Thames, too, and the fog in London was really bad! I can imagine how good the warmth of Spain does you. Enjoy! Hugs!
