TIL a group of #herons is called a "siege". Here are two grey herons and a little egret laying siege to the #Ehle stream. Oh, and two coots, but they're not siege material.

It's currently -15°C (5°F) at 10:45pm, but the day was absolutely beautiful – sunny and windless. This was earlier today when we took the sled down to the dam on our floodplains, like many other families. We might get more snow tomorrow morning, but in the evening, temperatures are expected to rise above 0°C. That means this stunning snowy #landscape (and the chaos it brought) that we've enjoyed over the last few days will turn to slush, marking the end of the #snow for now. 🥲

Hmm, I didn't know what else to post today, so here's another #SilentSunday from a recent walk around my village #Biederitz. And no, the only hobbit I saw was myself. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Let's see if I can post this without a hitch today ...

#Sunset l̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶n̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ two nights ago in a different corner of #Biederitz. I was looking for a route for a paper chase/scavenger hunt for kiddo's birthday party and got distracted by this, oops!

I went for a walk this morning before work and saw my very first wild #beavers!! 🙀

The #snow is almost gone, but it was wild on Sunday! Sadly it wasn't enough to go sledding (we tried, it was frustrating), but it looked pretty. ❄️
