I got this orchid from my colleagues for my birthday some years ago. Now it blooms for the umpteenth time. When I was looking for an image for x, I saw on the internet a close-up of this orchid. Be seen was the little bird and I wondered if one of my orchids also such a little bird had to guess. And so it was. I was happy like a little kid and made photos myself. Then I researched the name of this orchid. It was a hybrid between Phalaenopsis "Golden Amboin" and Doritis "Taisuco Candystripe". In summary, these hybrids also called x Doritaenopsis. They belong to the Moth Orchids because their flowers look like the wings of moths. I wait to the bloom of my other orchids for checking for more surprises.

One day this beauty was flying past my window.

My cousin found this charming villa during our stay in Belgium. He told me about it and I wanted to see it, to shoot a few photos. It was a deserted place, but you had the feeling that still lurked around any souls. I've posted some photos more because it was just too impressive. So I close the alphabet project.

HOME again

Once in Spain. This was during a trip with students to spain. We visited the monastery Montserrat near Barcelona. Early in the morning clouds were filling the valley (as you can see in the background). It was so wonderful!

I wanted to count many ants around the sugar-water-drop. But ten was the highest number. Have to try again one time but so it is my last picture for the 1-10 project.

The Heerstraße in Bonn/Germany blooms every spring in a sea of ​​pink. It even made ​​it into the top ten of the most beautiful avenues in the world. (www.toptenz.net/top-10-incredibly-beautiful-tree-tunnels.php)
