The International Nature Photography Festival will take place in our town from October 24th till 26th this year. I had never managed to go but last year I finally found the time and can only recommend it! Apart from certain lectures and workshops entrance to the...

Did you know that cats can have up to three litters per year? (Now you know why my animal rescue friends are so keen on neutering all those stray and neglected cats: It only takes a couple of months and instead of one cat you end up with having 16!) Apart from spring,...

Our bench is not only frequented by cats and humans. Look what I found on Saturday: It is the caterpillar of the Pale Tussock, a moth, which explains why I have not seen the adult form (or the imago as it is scientifically called) before. When looking it up I found...

Just in time for the beginning of autumn, our local newspaper published a small article about the dramatic increase in mushroom poisoning this year. The poison control center in Mainz has already registered 300 calls – twice as many as during the last years. No...
