Kackfurzgute Unterhaltung für Jung und Alt. Lustig, kurzweilig, lehrreich. Nix zu meckern an diesem Kinonachmittag.
Nature
When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is get out of bed and turn on my fairy lights. I read for a little while under the warm glow of the lights while the sun is not yet visible in the winter morning. I am reading a book about Nature right now – stories of walki...

The main feed of this site now automatically includes posts from my Photo Journal and Dan’s Polaroids.
This way, I do not have to manually link those here, and one can follow all my posts with a single feed. If you see a bunch of new entries, you now know it’s because I messed with my feed.
