Gorgeous colours – could do with some here right now! The brollies are a brilliant idea for a temporary roof/shelter. Following you on Mastodon now. 🙂 (But only just getting started there.)

The flower at the first foto in Germany we call it “Schmuckkörbchen”. Its the direct translation of Cosmos.
Have a good time in the New Year, Horst
