June 6, 2022: the higher regional court building in Munich (Oberlandesgericht München).
Germany trip recap: some 787-9 photos while boarding FRA-DEN. I love it when boarding is at a stand and not a gate.
Our peppers exploded. Best yields ever. Already we roasted some shishitos to go with quesadillas. 🌱
We concluded our trip to Germany. It ended nicely despite the current upheaval of travel. Best unexpected thing to happen was the captain of the United 787-9 we flew on back to the States let me snap photos of the flight deck! Heaven.
Hello my first ever 787 flight! 🛫EDDF🛬KDEN🥳
I’m thrilled with this view of Frankfurt International from my hotel room. Great place to end this trip.
Countryside of Saxony, Germany. Barley fields!
Obligatory photo of surfers at the Eisbachwelle in Munich’s English Garden.
Eurasian Coots in the Pagodenburger See at the Schloss Nymphenburg in Munich.
Gorgeous dragonfly in the backyard today. Lucked out with the lighting.
Been trying to get to Germany to visit very good friends the last three years. Might actually happen this time.🤞
A very comfy Eurasian Collared Dove. Glad our backyard can be a refuge from the neighborhood outdoor cats
So I’ll not fly MSFS 2020 again with it bugging out & turning me straight to the airport at start of my downwind approach despite a properly programmed FMS. 🤬I’ll pay for X-Plane 12 early access (and get a X-Plane 11 license). MSFS is pretty but awful where it matters.
Peppers are on the way! 🌱
A few more photos of the #EdwardFire in Orland, CA today. Fortunately our house was never in danger. Sad that this fire was likely preventable with mere common sense about mowing. A few homes were lost. #EFire
Elderberries are ripening already. And there’s so many more in the hopper! 🌱
One front yard clump California Fuchsias is blooming. This one is always a month ahead of the others. Not pictured, but our yarrow is flowering too. And the Toyon is still very popular with all kinds of pollinators. Meanwhile our neighbor struggled with a gas powered lawnmower.🌱
I do not love it when Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 inexplicably drops my entire approach flight plan and drives me direct to the arrival airport. Keeps me on alert, that’s for sure. I’m pretty close to buying X-Plane. Can’t wait for X-Plane 12 early access.
Backyard is looking good. Peppers & tomatoes are flowering. The elderberries are still flowering.
Our grapes are getting plump real fast. And our volunteer conifers are super happy. They grew several inches this year. 🌱🌳
