The topic of week 9 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:
The color red
So I today took another picture of my Chrismas star which reached only second place, so to speak, two weeks ago for the “flowerage” topic – good thing that Sari drew this topic now and not in several weeks. 
And in the following weeks, I’ll try to be a little more creative…
The topic of week 7 in Sari’s Projekt 52:
Flowerage
At first, I had thought about my Christmas star (Poinsettia) which still has most of its red bracts – but it doesn’t look that great and wouldn’t live up to its Latin name part pulcherrima. So instead of wandering around and shooting flowerage in other people’s gardens which is still a little sparse around here, I decided to take a closeup:
…because already since the morning, they always talk about the exciting countdown for publishing the name for Nürnberg’s polar bear baby – and even as first, i.e. alledgedly most important news message. And a few days ago, it was always “it opened its eyes today for the first time, first the left eye, then the right.” Aaargh!
Not that I’d be averse to polar bears or animal babies (or both), or against people who outright love them, but must there be always all that fuss about them??

PS: Even though I’ve written critically about “lucky charms” recently – they are somewhat a symbol for new year’s day, so I don’t see much of a problem using them here.
“Appropriately” on the Blog Action Day about the environment, now also E.ON, who provide me with electricity, too (and, after all, have not raised their tariffs this year), announced increases by an average of about 10% (in Bavaria).
Well, I (and many others, I’m sure) will stress comparison sites such as Verivox now…
Maybe an eco tariff won’t be bad, there seem to be some which are relatively low. (Yes, environmental protection that costs nothing or little is still the most successful kind…)
