Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen What to Pack

Miscellaneous: July was just as hot as June had been and the corn kept growing. Some of the other crops had already been harvested, so I tried to find another spot to take the picture from. At least I wanted "my tree" to be recognizable at all!

Miscellaneous: This picture was taken on April 18, 2003 - and if you look closely, you can see, that spring definitely was there!!! There were young green leaves on the tree (how I love this color!!!) and nature was really exploding during those days!

Miscellaneous: In March the winter returned for a little while, but the sun was getting stronger. There were a few tiny green buds on the tree already, but the extreme cold killed them. So we had to wait for the second start!!!

Miscellaneous: Febuary: it was still cold, but the snow was gone. We did have misty days and my tree stood there with bare branches, waiting for the first warm rays of the sun - but it did have to wait for yet another while....

Miscellaneous: Let me introduce "my tree" to you:

There it is, lonesome in the midst of a snow covered field. We did have a cold winter this year with some snow, which in my opinion makes the landscape look so much nicer!

Miscellaneous: Rainy season: There is no special rainy season

Avg. Temp. in Spring: max.: 10 – 19°C ( 50 - 66°F ); min: 1 - 8°C ( 34 - 47°F )

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: No white Christmas for us this year, although temperatures were around zero degrees C. Taking this picture made my fingers cold and stiff, so some gloves would have come in handy!

Miscellaneous: What a beautiful month - at times foggy, at times sunny, beautiful colors of autumn, sunshine, rain - we were blessed with a beautiful autumn this year!
