What are your jeans doing today?

Exactly the same

Not today but recent trip to Johannesburg...

A few pics of the Anglo American (think gold, diamonds, precious metals, De Beers) buildings in Main Street, Johannesburg centre of the old CBD... now minor part last century corporate colonial splendour, major part modern run down inner city depravation. 

The Stampede or The Impala Fountain by Herman Wald, in bronze, stands out... "The Stampede was my first impression in this country, nature’s most graceful charge that competes with any man-made efforts, unconditionally acclaimed by child or adult, by amateur or connoisseur, unbound by time, fashion or ‘isms’."

Fascinating country that gets more fascinating over time as stories unfold

And the Jo'burg winter sky never disappoints...

Also not today but over the last week & weekend:
Since the temperatures rose a bit in germany the citrus project on the balcony is growing along. 
Seen here are:
1 x trifoliate orange
1 x citrumelo (hybrid of trifoliate orange & grapefruit)
lots of yuzus (the small ones are seed grown), the big one I got last winter at half its size right now
2 x volkamer lemons
1 ichang orange
and maybe in the background a sanguinello blood orange
Also visible an olive we got a few years ago bearing fruit nowadays

The other pictures are from the weekend, foraging for berries and mushrooms in the black forest. 
Friends of ours moved there recently and we visited over the weekend. Since it's been crazy rainy and wet, but not really cold chanterelle mushrooms have been growing pretty early in the season. Usually they are ripe in august/september, rather than beginning of july.

Did an overnighter gravel event. A bit of rain and a lot of mud.
