My unexpected hiatus last week on the blog was due to entertaining some friends who had driven up from Italy to visit. Thanks M— and S—, it was fun to see you!

In only two days, we covered lots of territory, which I’ll be blogging about as soon as I have more photos sorted. 🙂

But I do have a couple of photos ready from our trip last Friday to Bebenhausen, the old cloisters that are on the outskirts of Tübingen.

What caught my eye when taking these photos were the rain drops, which were so delicately — and photogenically — perched on top of the leaves.

What caught my eye when I sorting through the photos on the computer was an amazing purple stem in this plant.

Together, they make up a serendipitous find outside the cloister proper in Bebenhausen.

Anyway, enjoy.
