Frühlingsmarkt / Pflanzenmarkt Dortmund, May 10, 2015

Posted on Monday, 11.05.2015 07:50 by sebrem Comment

Yesterday I took a walk through Dortmund, there was an artists’ market and a spring market in the city centre and a plant market in Westfalenpark. 🙂 The street art is from Weißenburger Straße.

Google+ made another story, funny how they picked 18 of 154 pics, I had to take 90 for my public album 😉

Rombergpark, May 2, 2015

Posted on Saturday, 02.05.2015 21:39 by sebrem Comment

Today I went with friends to Rombergpark to see the effect of May (“Alles neu, macht der Mai” we say in German “May brings new things” or however it is to translate). There were goslings, ducklings, lots of butterflies and bumblebees 🙂

Westfalenpark Dortmund, Mar 12, 2015

So today I took a day off and went to Westfalenpark to see the 100.000 crocus plants Fee ist mein Name and Dortmund überrascht Dich wrote about. And indeed they have been there! If you look closely you’ll also see some bumblebees buzzing in the flowers 🙂

A glimpse of Spring, Mar 7, 2015

Posted on Sunday, 08.03.2015 00:46 by sebrem Comment

Although meteorologically it’s still winter, today it’s been a very nice day in Dortmund. As I’ve been around with two nice friends I was not in the mood for taking too many pictures, also we’ve been to Rombergpark and Phoenix-West, where I already have taken too many pictures 😉

But here are some migratory birds (actually if you look closely they are in all of the first 4 pictures), clouds and a sunset 🙂

More or less random pictures, Oct 16, 2014

There is not much to blog about right now, but here are some assorted pictures.

I got a foster plant and the gift of a dreamcatcher (Picasa):

That spider was too interesting not to take a picture of, I’m proud of having its web in the picture:

Then there was some city exploring on the weekends, the last picture with the cup symbolizes me being home with a nasty cough (Picasa):

Speckled wood butterfly, Sep 15, 2014

Posted on Tuesday, 16.09.2014 10:43 by sebrem Comment

Speckled wood butterfly, 15.09.14

This guy seems to love nettles, at least he kept still until I could take this shoot 😉 In German it’s a “Laubfalter”, at least using the very nice web page “Die Schmetterlinge Deutschlands” lets me think so. I found him in Technologiepark, right where I described it to be a nice place to spot them in this post.

Aplerbecker Apfelmarkt, Sep 7, 2014

Posted on Thursday, 11.09.2014 19:22 by sebrem Comment

On Sunday I’ve been to Aplerbecker Apfelmarkt with friends. I did not document much but used the opportunity to finally see Haus Rodenberg, there also was a little market set up around it, the mayority of the market has been in Aplerbeck itself though. The turtle in the picture I just discovered later when I downloaded the pictures from the camera 😉

Guided tour Rombergpark, Phoenix-West, Phoenixsee (viking boat competition), Aug 24, 2014

Posted on Monday, 25.08.2014 16:13 by sebrem Comment

On Sunday I promised to give a guided tour to a couchsurfer who was visiting Dortmund. I announced the tour on the day before but in the end it’s only been the two of us, what is there to say it was stress-free that way 🙂

So most of the pictures are similar to the ones I already took but then it’s been April weather in August yesterday so at least the lightning is different. And also, if you look closely at one of the flower pics taken in Phoenix-West, you’ll find an insect I’d categorize as “cabbage white butterfly” 🙂

Yellow flower with bee, Aug 1, 2014

I passed this little yellow flowers on my way home close to Dortmund University. I think you already might have noticed that I prefer to shoot flowers when they are visited by insects 😉

Today during lunch break I was trying to take pictures of butterflies. Only one let me take a picture, I guess its name is Speckled Wood (Waldbrettspiel, Laubfalter).
