… clearly was feeding scully ice-cream.
since her fur is all black and today was hot and sunny, she was just lying there grumbling.
she wasn’t even grumbling at something in specific…
great experience to give her an ice-cream – amazing how long a dog’s tongue can get ;-)
i took part in another botanical excursion today – we went to jamtal valley.
it’s one of the last valleys of tyrol that (nearly) haven’t been influenced by mankind, so we found many protected and rare plants and an almost pristine flora.
jamtal valley is declared a nature reserve – there’s only 3 buildings in an 11km (7 mile) valley, all of which are alpine huts.
we even needed a special permission to drive in some miles…
once again it got obvious how focussed i am on butterflies (and their developmental stages) – i photographed a bunch of cool ones up there!
see for yourself!
today my father and i went up the mountains in rum to a stone formation called ‘rumer nadel’.
there, we unexpectedly saw a chamois family, including two cubs!
they seemed surprised to see us too, and were standing there making strange whistling noises…
furthermore we found some protected plants
i got some good shots up there, especially the inn-valley panoramic and the photo of a ‘globe daisy’!
see for yourself!
i just returned from an excursion arranged by a club called blattform (link). it’s an open association of biologists and biology students.
we met at 6 am (and it’s sunday, just to remind you) to go to schmirntal valley on a 90-minute ride.
first, there was rainy weather, but by the time (and the height), it got sunshiny and warm.
we soar up about 700 meters (2300 ft) in height – from 1500 to 2300 meters (4900 to 7550 ft) – looking for specific auricle-hybrids.
i had a great time, being with a whole bunch of nice and knowing people – although i was the only second semester freshman…
anyway, i learned a lot of facts and details worth knowing, and i’m looking forward to the next excursion i can take part in.
what a great day!
the sky hasn’t been in that deep blue for a long time now…
that’s why i took the opportunity and did what i’ve been wanting to do for weeks: i went up on our roof and took some panorama shots.
some time ago, some friends and i decided to go on short-vacation together.
our original destination was prague, but it was changed to south tyrol, then to hamburg, then to our local kind-of-mall, and eventually we came up with munich.
it’s not that far away, and there’s loads of stuff to visit.
the duration was diminished with every new destination we had, so we ended up having a one-day-trip.
but it was great, we went to imax3D, the botanical garden, and took some time to have a stress-free lunch + a small tour through the city center.
we absolutely have to do that again some time!
this is a copy of the actual first message of this weblog.
so finally, i’ve completed the new website.
i’ve added a few new functions (like this page you’re reading right now), and changed the basic structure and layout of everything else.
i had anticipated blogging for some time before i actually got wordpress – so i saved some of the highlights in my little world and copied the stuff in here.
so there you are, have (decent) fun on my website! and if you like it, sign my guestbook or leave a message in the blog!
