My WednesdayWalk Report Card: September 16 2020

Wednesday.

Time to take another walk. Albeit, today's walk was actually mostly about sitting down.

I didn't really know where my #wednesdaywalk would take me, but since I went back home and picked up my SLR and a long lens in the morning, I immediately wanted to check out if I'd find some good frames by that awesome lake I've been frequenting lately.

But first, it was time for some #pareidolia for lunch. It happened by accident when I started preparing some scrambled egg.

I think the eggs were slightly worried about what was happening to them.

But after the deed was done and the ingredients all together, they seemed quite happy with the result.

If a meal like that wouldn't #makemesmile, then my googly heart would have stopped beating.

And so, as the afternoon came I ventured out to see the lake. With the heavy lens in my backpack I drove out to the forest and walked a shortcut to reach my destination.

Approaching the lake from this side today I realized why the place is hidden away like it is and not visited more often by other walk walking walkers.

A typically German scene. You're somewhere in the middle of the forest and you'll find a road sign telling you it's not allowed to go there.

And I'd take a wager a lot of people, the proper Germans, would turn around on the spot. I, of course, continued on my way.

Passing through a beautiful section of an oak forest. The terrain looks like it's usually a bit flooded and swampy, but not so after three consecutive dry years.

And there's s the lake, hidden in the forbidden forest. My new favourite chill out spot. At least for a while.

I set up my camera and quietly waited for some of the egrets and herons to give me a good pose. I waited in vain.

I did manage to get a few halfway decent shots, but definitely not the spread-wings-sunbathing-pose I had hoped for. Oh well, I'll be back to wait again.

The tree below will need its own photo session, too. Sometime in the early morning when some mist on the water will help isolate its magnificent shape

I brought the camera, but I left the compact flash card reader in the city, so it'll be a whole before you might get to see some @snaepshots from today. But I might just save that for when I get the right light and poses around here.

Unaccomplished but well satisfied I made my way back in the late afternoon sun.

And here's a bonus GIF of Snuggleberry finest magic trick. Making a fig disappear.

Thanks for your time!
