Another Owl and Germany

I had to go home, but I didn't want to.
Just look at these pics, 
This was the start of a beautiful route through the Ahr Valley.
The narrow Ahr Valley, which was called „the wildest daughter of the Rhine“ by the Romanticists, is known for its red wines and gorgeous landscape.
Oh my, I want to live there!
We walked for hours and hours. . . .
Next time we will bring a picnic basket, a book and a blanket and stay all day.
After this 3 hour hike we visit a little town and indulged ourself with the local wine and food.
( I took little Ginny with me and she had a great time)
We were home May 7th and after the Mother's Day visit I managed to make another baby Great Horned Owl
In my Etsy shop today

  2. Thank you so much Joanne!
    The Netherlands are beautiful too but it is a small country and the woods are mainly artificial planted and in Germany you see lots of natural woods. And I so love woods!
    And so once in a while I have to travel to Germany to feel and smell the trees and rocks.

  3. Such a magical place to visit, Helen. It makes me happy that such places exist, and sad that I don't live in them :-)

    Your new baby owl is a delight!

  7. Really nice vacation, Helen! Yes, is good once in a while to walk between the trees. But I have to say, I love Netherlands - in the summer, when I fly back to Bulgaria, I see in Amsterdam big areas with tulips - love it!

  12. Gabriele: Wir haben einen schönes Haus gesehen in St.Goarshausen, vielleicht wir kaufen das und nutzen es wie Ferienwohnung und in 2 Jahre dauerhaft.
    Ein Katzensprung nach Koblenz :-)
    Viele Liebe Grüße,
    Helen(a)
