Five on the Fifth: Recycled

It’s November and it’s the fifth, which makes it the third time that I’m participating in Five on the Fifth. This time the theme is “recycled.” No great story about my photos this time, just five photos that some how invoke “recycled”. If you want to see more, visit Five on the Fifth […]

Five on the Fifth: Round

It’s October and it’s the fifth, which makes it the second time that I’m participating in Five on the Fifth. This time the theme is “round” and on Sunday I went around some of the celebrations of German Reunification (20 years!). All of my photos are from within a slow-paced 10 minute walk of Brandenburg […]

5 on the Fifth: Blue

Awhile back I participated in a weekly photo challenge, which I ultimately dropped because it was weekly and I had trouble keeping up. So while the frequency was too great, I wasn’t completely opposed to the idea of doing some kind of photography challenge–and over the last couple of month’s the participation by torchy in […]

Today, however, I’ve been tagged by Cathy to present 7 “random facts about myself.” So here it goes:

I had a dragon tooth […]

Northwest Photo Meme

The Northwest Ladybug had an excellent idea for a photo meme.

She wanted to know what other bloggers saw outside their windows as they wrote about their day/life/whatever. She immediately posted a picture of her backyard.

Here’s what I see from my balcony and from my kitchen: Buchenwald. It’s a haunting reminder of Germany’s past, […]

Solidarity

About a month ago J, of Germany Doesn’t Suck, announced that today would be the 4th annual International Webloggers Day—and I decided to participate, adding the little button to my sidebar and then promptly forgetting about the event.

Needless to say, I was suddenly reminded about it today and discovered it’s theme, “solidarity.”

Oddly today […]
