The stork is one of the most popular emblem of Alsace. We have the luck that more and more storks (that have grown up in "storks farm") turn back to a wild life and take over the nests that people get ready for this occasion. This Monday we saw storks with babies in 3 nests.
Ce Lundi de Paques nous avons pu constater que 3 nids étaient habités par des cigognes et leur petit cigogneau entre Baldersheim et Meyenheim (Haut-Rhin)

This Sunday we went out for a walk in the foothills of the "Vosges". Departure was on the village of Westhalten, and then we went up through the vineyard. The vineyard of westhalten and Soultzmatt is very famous because he benefits of a warm "micro-climate". The vine wich grows here is very good and the most well known are " Gewurtztraminer, Riesling, Muscat, Pinot gris" On the top of the hill we enjoyed the sight of the "Grand Ballon" snow covered; and we saw very pretty flowers; the most of them are rare, and are protected.
Sur les chaumes des hauteurs de Westhalten, nous avons pu voir de magnifiques fleurs, de plus il y a un sentier botanique flèché qui part du village (pour les amateurs de la région)

What is growing under Mum's windows
|
|
This morning the weather was fresh but sunny and invites to work in the garden. I draw my inspiration by watching in Mum's glasshouse and windows, that cover the young seedlings.
The glass was covered by condensation drops and the effect was amazing but it's 3 x pitty because the glass was not clean! Never mind, I made any shots.
I wish you all a happy and peaceful Easter Henri Joyeuses Pâques

Vendredi Saint, Good Friday
|
|
|
Its a sad day but the sun is not far away. In our country, along of the lanes, between of the fields we can see old calvaries. They was ofen erected by families after an fatal accident, in the past time when farmers worked very hard in theirs fields with horses, oxes and cows. I can remenber when my own grandfather was bringing home his hay with a tumbrel pulled by 2 cows (1962). Fall under the Wheel could be fatal.

The funny stone of mister Hug
|
|
|
This strange stone was found in december 2003 by M. Hug, as he was diging a well, 5 or 6 meter underground. The stone is made up many hundred fine coats and was certainly formed in the Jurassic period, when Alsace was under an ocean. yes the stone you are watching is many million yars old.
