Sundown

Stangely enough the unromantic me likes sunsets but only those with lots of clouds because they never look the same (compared to the beach-ocean-clear sky-sunsets from holidays which are almost identical).

And yes, I am sorting through old pictures although these are not that old - they are from Christmas 2012. Looks like we had a not so white Christmas ... (as usual). I shouldn't complain about the last winter though since it was one of the better ones (better = a decent amount of snow).

Birds

Just a collection of more or less common visitors in the garden.

Little helper

Once a year, the compost heap needs some maintenance by moving all the rotten stuff away and getting out the good earth from below. It's usually not really my favourite kind of work but today I got a little "helper". Well at least the little fellow improved my mood although he was usually roaming around where I wanted to work.
