Birken bewirken Verbirken

In Northern Germany you can find more of them compared to Southern Germany. Here, palm trees are becoming more popular ;-) I do like birch forests a lot! And my friend took the surprise PiP :-)
Thank you, dear Judite!

I love birch forests, Carol. There aren't too many where I live, more of them can be found in Northern Germany. My shopping expeditions are mainly online (except for food) or when I happen to come across something, in which case it probably can't be called an expedition ;-) And I did. A backpack and a pair of hiking shoes, more or less coincidentally. The hiking was planned though :-))
That's me taking the main photo taken by my friend (she likes surprise shots) ;-)

Oh yes, that's most likeley why I love birch forests because I find them soothing as well. In Southern Germany you don't come across them as often, more so in Northern Germany.
Oh! Birch Wood...I wouldn't have guessed ;-)) This one here is called "Altwarmbüchener Moor" and the name is far from Birch Wood or Birch Forest ;-)
Indeed you do, Rosa! My friend likes to take surprise photos :-))
