May 2, 2022,Rapsblüte.....???🥴🤔

....well, the plentiful shining dandelions and the fine cuckoo flower, clear blue sky, fresh green....
The Haaler Au is beautiful, which we hadn't "taken with us" yet....

(! just watched a suuuuper komoot post by "Sonja und Gladis", we definitely have to explore the Haaler Au more closely by foot)

.... again a nice, varied and quiet tour 😊
