I just returned from another trip into the forest. This time, I went deeper, there was some beautiful firefly activity. When I checked on yesterday's spot on the way home there was barely anything. But I saw some presumably females sitting on the leaves in the shrubs. I didn't notice a single one yesterday. Their illuminated parts were really huge compared to the flying males. The biggest was the size of a small finger's nail (contrast that with a tiny shining dot of maybe 2-4mm max). I could even see the three distinct sections being lit up. That must have been a common glow-worm (großes Johanniswürmchen), I'd say: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Lampyris_noctiluca.jpg The others might also just have been the smaller species. I don't know.
There were also some toads on the paths. A very lovely evening stroll. I'm very happy now. The dayjob's stress is completely forgotten.
I really do enjoy that I am in the woods in about 10-15 minutes afoot. The most dangerous animals here are ticks and then come the boars. And that's really it. Well, mozzies might be in the list, too. Some adventive ones can carry diseases, luckily, I haven't encountered them here yet. Today, a bunch of gnats wanted to eat me. Yesterday, I had my peace, though.

Still a noob, but I can see some progress and I enjoy playing very much. 😊
(Use headphones, probably sounds like crap otherwise.)

at around 0400 a car came racing (90-100 mph) down gulf blvd towards my direction. it turned its headlights off and actually lost traction at point and skidded a bit. okay, kids. then a bit later i hear the car coming back behind me... so i got as far to the right as i could in case the car skids again. as it passed me i looked over my shoulder and saw a police vehicle a bit back w/o lights on yet. then looking in front another cop and then they blocked the lanes to get the driver to stop. driver decided he wasn't stopping and tried to swerve around the police and ended up ping-ponging between sides of the road. enough of that...
took a wrong turn after going over the first bridge, but luckily it went in a loop. didn't really know exactly where i was going anyways and was just winging it from the get-go.
the rest of the run was pretty uneventful and just a fun experience. crazy idea accomplished.

You are fortunate to live near the wilderness. I would have to drive for an hour to even get close a little. 😩

I'm now really looking forward to a night hike soon.
Actually a war memorial on Mt. Hohenrechberg, but it always looks totally like a duck to meIt was a really nice hike, there was hardly anybody outside. The weather wasn't bad at all, around 22°C and cloudy most of the time. The drizzle got me a few times, but it wasn't terrible. It just raised the humidity. A bit more wind would have been nice, it was very calm, even at the summits.
On the way there I had to kill a tick that I found on my trousers. Those bloody suckers! What benefit do they bring nature? At home I checked and couldn't find any others. Phew.
On the way back from Mt. Hohenrechberg I saw a deer and hare. It's been years that I came across hares in the wild, so that was really cool. I decided to watch the sunset from Mt. Hohenstaufen, so I took a small detour. Absolutely worth it:
SunsetA group of hippies eventually joined me at the sunset lookout, lit joss sticks, played some weird music on a metal pipe thingy (a bit like a single windbell) and sang a sun dance song. Said song had gone missing for a very long time and was recovered only lately, they told me. Okay. Some other really crazy dude told us that the mountain we're on had been raised in the Young Stone Age. That period where harvests were plentiful and people had a lot of spare time. WTF!? I mean they all were super nice and friendly and talking to them was also actually lovely, but what… err… interesting mindsets.
On the final return I saw another three deer on a paddock. And now for the very, very best part of the whole trip: in the forest I encountered 83 fireflies before I stopped counting. In the end it must have been 500-600 in total. One even nearly hit me in the face if I hadn't ducked at the last second. :-) Man, this was soooo fricking amazing! Fireflies for round about 1.5km! Didn't even try to take photos in this darkness, though.
