Exaggerating

It’s no news that warnings are often exaggerated especially in the USA – but these three together in one block on one article page on Amazon.com?

3x Choking Hazard

Of course you could turn to logic and argue that a toy that is a small ball also contains a small ball (as only content), and a small ball is a small part, too. Unfortunately, this isn’t for a ball at all, but for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” Lego set 4192 Fountain of Youth which, while containing small parts, doesn’t contain a ball at all – unlike some other sets…

(On some other sets, there’s just the “small parts” line, on this one fittingly also the ball, on others, however, all three again.)

The Moon, of course…

Of course I have to show a few photos of yesterday’s lunar eclipse, especially since there were only few clouds. Here in this post are only a few of my 21 Fotos on Flickr (slideshow)

All photos taken with my Canon 40D and the Tamron 28-300 lens, mostly in its 300mm setting. Its sharpness isn’t too great in this setting, but, well, that’s the best I got…

Sorry…

Rehkitz am Wegesrand (Tele)

…didn’t want to disturb…

…but if you and your sibling – who ran away earlier – lie so close to the path, it’s rather unavoidable.

(The bottom picture was taken first – with the wide-angle setting of my little pocket camera. Then I zoomed in – top photo – and carefully got a bit closer, which made the fawn finally jump up and run away – middle photo. All photos are uncut (and linked to the original size), I just corrected the contrast.)

Last Night and Today

Yesterday I didn’t catch too many lightnings with the camera, but there’s one nice photo:

(The stripes are from my fly screen.)

This is the little thunderstorm front that mostly passed in the south-east:
