19. Good Morning, Good Morning Miss Honey!
Those are beautiful pictures. Did you see both of the Swans while you were there?


AND what in the world did you do to that duck to be challenged in such a manor!?

How was your weekend? :hug::loveya:

21. Thanks Joani
All those animals where there and allowed me to take pics of them.

I didn't do anything to that goose (it was a goose, not a duck). She was just shaking her feathers afzer coming out of the water. I was just lucky enough to take the pic in the right moment :)


My weekend was wonderful. Esp. Friday evening and Saturday morning.
Saturday evening I went to the Christmasmarket and for a drink with Brita and a friend of hers.
Sunday I pretty much slept all day.
All in all a really nice weekend.

23. Birds can be very territorial, that's why I ask.
They bluster to defend what they perceive to be theirs.

It sounds like both of us have been enjoying our time.

I know I have as I've spent days visiting with someone who tells me that he loves me dearly. Check your inbox for a PM with all the wonderful details. I'm smilin' more than I have been since we met 6 months ago. We were both amazed that this is becoming a thing. We'll have anniversaries to celebrate together, memories to share across the miles to keep us warm while we're apart. :)

25. I definitely enjoyed my time
and I have a smile on my face also. To know someone else feels the same about you as you do about him is a wonderful thing.

26. Life Is Sweet!

Cyber communications and phone calls are great but (to borrow words) There's nothing like the real thing!


I'm glad everything is working out for both of us. It's nice to be sharing happiness with you, it's about time for both of us. :)

28. you are sooo right
there really is nothing like the real thing.

We both deserve it. And we both had a shitty year. So at least the end of the year is giving us back some love :hug:

30. I'm going to bask in the warmth ...
And the happiness that I feel right now.
Our closest friends wish us well.
It's wonderful that he found me just when I needed him most ...
and when he really needed someone to make him "feel alive again".

27. Swans make me cry
In a good way. I am such a sap. I think it is because of the Ugly Duckling fairy tale.

29. awww
you aren't :hug:

Everytime I see swans and I have my camera with me I am automatically drawn to them. It's like they whisper "take pics of our beauty, take pics of our beauty" ....

You see I love swans also.

45. Wonderful pictures.
Thank you for sharing them. The reflection/contrast on the stream with the swans is stunning.

Just the Frankfurter skyline looks like someone photoshopped New York into Augsburg. :rofl:

as I said before, I enjoy sharing my pictures with all of you.

It looks a bit like it, you are right. But I have to admit, I love the Frankfurter skyline. I always liked it. And now that I live here it hasn't lost any of its attraction to me.

Here is another pic of the skyline from the same day

47. I agree.
What really stuns me is the fact that there still are these almost rural quarters in the city; old houses, older streets, Tante Emma Laden next door, etc.

that is a really nice thing in Frankfurt. The old and the modern next too each other. I mean the Römer isn't that far from the towers.

Thank you for sharing them with me! FYI: My cable modem malfunctioned yesterday afternoon and I haven't had internet access since then. That's why I wasn't here with you this morning. But, I'm back up and running and looking forward to tomorrow's thread!
