German Proverb
A tale by the Brothers Grimm:
A king has three sons: the eldest and the middle one are brave and strong, but the youngest is gullible and naïve, so he is called Simpleton. One day, the king casts three feathers into the air, and when they land, each of his children should follow to see where it leads. Simpleton discovers the feather has landed in a lake or pond where a toad lives that speaks in rhyme.
The king asks for marvellous gifts - impossibly difficult to find, or make - for his sons to show him: a carpet, made by the finest craftsmanship and a ring of extraordinary splendour as a second gift. Simpleton manages to produce the items in front on his father, to the jealousy of his older brothers, who are against the idea that he should inherit the kingdom.
For a final task, the king asks for the princes to bring a woman or bride that can do acrobatics and pirouettes so fantastical that they can pass through a very small ring. Simpleton presents his case to the talking toad, who orders another frog of his pond to embark into a carriage pulled by mice and to present themselves in court. When the carriage arrives, out comes a beautiful princess, who performs the impossible feat and earns the hand of Simpleton and the kingdom.

a mother and her children, in the morning of day 3 on the isle of Terschelling
(for those who like to see this one week journey in chronological order; maybe you want to take a look at the album Terschelling that is being filled these days :-) (weeks;-)
I was on a dirt road in who knows where back country in Virginia when I came across this group standing in the rain watching me go by. I had to get out and take some photos
A storm rolled through as I pulled in and I grabbed my camera for the show. To the astute observer, there will be something odd with these shots. :-)
I saw those three trees on the flank of a hill back in January in Damüls on an evening walk. They stand in a triangle on this empty slope in the shadow, while the clouds in the background are hit by the light of the setting sun.
Today was a beautiful, mild winter day. First signs of spring were visible as you can see: this snowdrop was one of many in a forest near our house. The illuminated bokeh in the background is from a birch tree with still most of its (brown) leaves hanging at it. So, this picture is taken in winter (februari), first blossom as a sign of spring and in the background still some old leaves giving a beautiful golden bokeh representing autumn.

THREE BRIDGES SPANNING THREE CENTURIES
The Forth Bridge (1890)
The Forth Road Bridge (1964)
The Queensferry Crossing (2017)
The Forth Bridges near Edinburgh in Scotland cross the Firth of Forth from Queensferry to North Queensferry. The three bridges also span three centuries in time.
The Firth of Forth is the estuary, or firth, of several Scottish rivers including the River Forth. It meets the North Sea with Fife on the north coast and Lothian on the south.
The first of the three bridges built was the Forth Bridge in 1890. Next came the Forth Road Bridge in 1964, followed by the Queensferry Crossing in 2017. Interestingly, the latter two were both opened by Queen Elizabeth II
Iconic, historic and magnificent, Scotland's Forth Bridges are Wonders of the Modern World and one of Scotland's most recognisable locations. Towering side by side by side, over the Firth of Forth, these structures represent the pinnacle of engineering across three centuries.
Background
A crossing route over the Forth had existed at the site since the eleventh century, when the queen of Scotland, Margaret, founded a free ferry to take pilgrims north to St Andrews. The site of the ferry crossing became the location of the Forth Road Bridge, which opened in 1964. Proposals for an additional road crossing at Queensferry were drawn up in the early 1990s, as part of the "Setting Forth" consultation document prepared by the Scottish Office. The plans met stiff opposition from environmentalists and from the City of Edinburgh Council on the grounds of increased traffic. Following the Labour victory in the 1997 general election, the proposals were shelved.
