Walks and Mushrooms in our Park

It is true - autumn has arrived in Potsdam. The weather is much cooler and windier, but often also quite sunny with sharp blue sky and beautiful clouds. Chestnuts, beechnuts and acorns are falling from the trees and wait to be picked up - a new season has started in our beloved Babelsberg Park!
And last week-end, we were visited by Janos, my former office mate from Bern! It was so nice to see him again! And he is absolutely fabulous with kids - Anna loved him! Thanks, Janos, for playing with Anna and the "Enteneis"! ;-)
And walking with Janos through the Babelsberg Park, we found two wonderful and tasty examples of parasol mushrooms (Macrolepiota procera) and two boletus.

August in Innsbruck

It's time to post some pictures of our activities in August - we spent the whole month in Innsbruck! Kamil was busy preparing and giving a mapping course in the Villnöss Valley in South Tyrol for students from the FU Berlin and he participated at a geologic excursion around the Tauern Window. Thus, we did not see him a lot during these weeks... But for me, the time in Innsbruck was real holidays - living like in a full-service hotel and grandparents looking after Anna! (Thanks so much, Mama and Gogo!)
The weather this month was not too great - lots of rain, snow in the mountains, but we still managed to get Anna out into woody and rocky nature quite a few times. So there was lots and lots to discover: mushrooms, berries, snow, and loud cows!
Here are some photo-collages:
