Saturday Snapshot - Germany

It's been almost a year since we went to Germany to visit family and see the countryside. In Quetzin we stayed in a lovely little inn surrounded by fields and woods and walking paths. I spent most of the time wandering around with my camera. The bird on the fence post? I think it's a magpie.

Kim said...: Such a quiet, peaceful place. When I think of Europe, I think of old rock walls--we just don't see them around here where I live!
Lovely photo--
