The St Peter's Dom (German: Wormser Dom, Worm's cathedral) is a highrising church in Worms, southern Germany. It was built from about 1130 to 1181. It houses the tombs of Emperor Conrad's II family and also got its status as imperial cathedral because of its size and glory. The Dom is located on the highest point of the inner city of Worms and is the most important building of the romanesque style in Worms.

Found this American Robin searching the lawn for worms after some rain - I see there are still beads of moisture on its feathers.

Heute hatten wir Glück: nach der Messe war die Messnerin noch eine Zeit lang da und schloß das Gitter erst später. Die Sonnenstrahlen sind Original und tauchen den einzigen gotischen Sakralbau von Worms in ein mystisches Licht. Nach dem Verlassen der Kirche schlug dann auch die Hitze mit 30 Grad zu.

I didn't know it was going to be a full moon until we stumbled upon it in the morning. TBH, this is a day earlier than the technically precise time.

Taken in Southern Ohio a couple of days ago, this beautiful Worm-eating Warbler gave us some excellent views.
One of our most poorly named birds, the Worm-eating Warbler is a characteristic songbird of our mixed and deciduous forests. Its name is misleading as this warbler forages primarily for caterpillars, largely the larvae of moths, which once were commonly misnamed “worms.”

For me, this spring has probably been my best one ever for Worm-eating Warblers. It seems like I have seen at least one every time I have been out for the past month or so. If that wasn’t nice enough, I think I have had more photo opportunities than any other spring migration. For a fairly plain bird it’s actually pretty cool looking with those head-stripes. Every spring migration is different and I think that is a bit part of what keeps them so interesting.

The rebuilding in the 12th century resulted, essentially, in the current cathedral. Around 1130, probably because of further damage to the building, Bishop Burchard II began the demolition of the church build by his predecessor Burchard I and the construction of a new church. The whole eastwerk with its towers and cupola were completed by him in the period up to c.1144. The nave and westwerk were erected between 1160 and 1181 by his successors, Conrad I and Conrad II. The latter consecrated it on 2 May 1181.
The cathedral has features of the late romanesque style, such as being completely vaulted and is decorated in line with Burgundian-Cistercian influence. Several religious buildings of the area are modelled on the cathedral's decoration, such that one can speak of a "Worms Style." Additionally, the elevation resembles the Imperial cathedrals in Speyer and Mainz. The gradual progress of the rebuild can be charted with dendrochronology. Lamps were donated for the west choir in 1172 and Bishop Conrad II was buried there in 1192. In former times, the Johanneskirche (Worms) [de] stood on the south side of the cathedral and served as its parish church and baptismal chapel, until it was demolished in 1812.
Worm's Head is a headland, at Rhossili, part of the City and County of Swansea, Wales. It is the furthest westerly point of the Gower Peninsula. The name Worm's Head is derived from an Old English word 'wyrm' for 'sea serpent'.
