My Motivation's still on holiday and the weather is so warm that the first pollen are busy looking for inflammable noses. Well, at least the temperature is said to get more winterly the next days, though still not cold enough for my taste. But it might help with the stuffed nose and the headache.
Here's a pretty poinsettia. I usually keep some on the windowsill from mid-November to about the end of January because I like the bright red leaves - a bit of colour agaisnt the dreary winter background outside. The rocks between the flower pots are random cool looking picks from Harz hiking tours.
This was taken during my Norway tour in a museum in Hammerfest. I met with an American family on the Hurtigruten ship and we spent some fun time together. That slightly ironic half-grin is my "well, let's play the typical tourist for a moment here"- look I get on most photos. The bear is much prettier.
Good to see you here, Gabriele. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAt least it's become a bit colder in the last few days! I can't stand this excessively mild weather, either. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteXXL teddy bear indeed! Not sure I'd like to get that close to a polar bear, even a stuffed one :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.
Happy New Year to you as well, Vicky.
ReplyDeleteKathryn, and tomorrow spring is back. The ugly version with the rain and storm. ;)
Thank you, Carla. I admit I'd love to travel to Svalbard and see some live ones, albeit not that close. :) But that sort of trip is waaay beyond my budget.
