I know Astrid is seeing things here now through my eyes and she's becoming more and more proud of her heritage. I'm glad for that.<br /><br />What your iPhone is able to do is beyond incredible.

The images are all so marvelous but I do especially like the weather vanes and stork images from this post. I think as a child I thought storks were made up birds!

The collages of the storks are stunning. So many young ones, and as my mother told me “storks bring babies” and I believed that just like Santa brought presents down the chimney, storks brought the babies down the same way…..Astrid sure looks happy under the sun rays! I just baked an apple cake and thought about you. I had not baked one in a long time but this was a mix from the big apple company in East Ellijay – and it is good.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-39812045228567474702012-04-08T09:03:30.089+02:002012-04-08T09:03:30.089+02:00DB: HA!

The weathervanes, of course, have everything to do with the importance of the wind here and from which direction it's coming. It tells you if cold is coming or a warm spell and what will do good or bad for the crops. Wind is everything...and lucky for me since I am a lover of Wind!<br /><br />Because of the animals out-n-about everywhere we travel, spring has had new meaning for me here in this country.

I wonder if she did look at this post.<br />It is so much fun to track down the weathervanes on the road. It was just a pure coincidence that I spotted all those storks. Wouldn't it be fun to go back when the eggs are 'out' (little storks get their 'flying lessons')<br />Trips like this are so much fun. We had a great meal at the Vietnamees.
