Museum Ritter, Waldenbuch. Yes, the museum belongs to the famous chocolate factory. One half is art museum and the other half is dedicated to chocolate making.

Autumn crocuses and bone dry beech trees. It’s still summer

Watching the women’s Tour of Britain. It feels weird to see green grass and a green landscape.

As it is far too hot for hiking I’m spending my holidays on the bicycle. The landscape is looking like Majorca in the summer but it’s the south of germany

010

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

This year the Spanish Flags (or Russian Bears) are numerous in the woods. Because they are rare they‘ve been Butterfly of the Year 2025 in Germany.

010

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

They’re so so so on my bucket list of artists I want to see live. Wishing you a great time and much fun 🤩

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Actually we‘re living under permanent severe weather warning. Each day there’s another hailstorm somewhere nearby. My mother has inherited an orchard from her late father with apple and plum trees. It’s not sure the trees will strive again next year.

100

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

My plum tree wasn’t able to withstand yesterday morning’s hailstorm. One third was felled from wind and weeks of dry weather.

It’s unbelievable. I stood in the rain for nearly ten minutes and my rucksack got wet! It was the first rain for ages but unfortunately a very brief encounter. Situation was completely harmless this is only the sun to make the clouds dramatic

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

They are lovely 😍 they used to fly over the alps from the Mediterranean to Sweden and back, following the changing of the seasons. Now because of climate change they stay put in other warm areas of Europe.

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Finally I was able to photograph a hummingbird hawk-moth (Taubenschwänzchen = little pigeon tail in German) in full flight

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

First day of Music4Humanity last night. Had most fun with this band Suabian Kick. They played their very last gig. Can remember being to their very first gig 1989 in the local youth club 😮

They seem to cope best with the heat. The apple season will be measly, the heat made the trees drop their apples and the strawberries are cooked on the fields.

010

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Sweating with a view. With temperatures around the 40 degrees mark every thought about outdoor activities is gone.

010

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

The brambles in my garden seem to be the only plants to enjoy this heat, so this is very convenient.

Took a little photo walk in the neighbouring village yesterday evening. The wind was strong and hot and the sky clear and blue. The reflection ca be found in the motifs

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Found this wonderful rambling rose climbing up a pear tree today and the delicate lace of the flowering goutweed

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Yesterday was awfull, too. Decided to do some indoor cycling instead of going for a walk because it was storm and rain at the same time

010

FrlSchramm @frlschramm.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

The wind got warmer this afternoon and we went from 14 degrees to 20 degrees. So maybe the cold is over

June has turned out to be a bit wet.
