In summer there is nothing better than enjoying a delicious paella along with a refreshing "sangria", close to the beach, ideal!

Erfrischung

On Wednesday I spent a few hours at our zoo which wasn't really a great idea for several reasons. Due to this week's school holidays the place was crowded and it was incredibly noisy. On top of that it's quite warm at the moment, 30° C and more. The animals were either lethargic or seeking refreshment like this village weaver. I think it's a young bird as it still has quite a lot of grey feathers.

Since we are having gray, rainy, wet and cold days and weeks, I am longing for the lush and luminant green of spring. This photo was taken last May during a tour of private gardens.

I am wondering if a crop to make it shorter would be better? What do you think?

It's not often you see a hippo on land during the day, but on this morning in the Masai Mara I was fortunate enough to do so.

We watched this huge beast walking through the grass to the watering hole and then gradually get positioned for a long morning drink.

Have a great Monday everyone!

To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon the green jays

is the most perfect refreshment.

Wir könnten gut eine Dusche von oben brauchen. Es ist so trocken hier!

We could need a shower here because it is very dry here!
