[livejournal.com profile] alias_chick's visit - day 1  
Last year in August [livejournal.com profile] alias_chick visited me. I never dared to ask her how her real name is prononunced, so I only learned the pronunciation when she called me that morning. That was also when I first heard her voice.

After I had picked her up from the train station and unfortunately didn't talk much on the tram ride to my apartment (because I'm not used to speaking English), we ate a welcome cake on my balcony.

Quarkkuchen (a sort of cheesecake).

Then I showed her around the city a bit.

The Zwinger.

Nymphs' Bath in the Zwinger...

...I hadn't seen that before. At least not that I can remember.

We took a ride with a sightseeing bus. Yeah, I went sightseeing in my city, heh! But you're not getting any pics of sights, because I can't be bothered. Unless anyone wants to see them.

Ooh, interesting vehicle!

Then we went to the botanic garden and stalked animals.

[livejournal.com profile] alias_chick and her great camera...

...taking better pictures than mine. *envious*

How does it do that? o_รด

Water beetles still amuse me.

I saw these two mating in flight. Did you know they can mate in flight?!

Deb and her sister Flo. XD

Funnily shaped petals.

I wouldn't want to have one of those fall on me.


A nuthatch.


Seriously, [livejournal.com profile] alias_chick's camera ♥!

Thunderstorm approaching.


A lucky variety of clover.


The botanic garden has the prettiest lamp post.

And then we went home, because it was very windy, wet and thundering.
