Tuesdays around the world

I know what some of you must be thinking. Has she nothing to blog about other than autumn foliage..?

I cannot help but post these breathtaking pictures.

This may have been our last autumn walk. Since then the leaves have slowly been falling to the ground.

I hate to think that I will have to look at bare branches sans foliage in a few days from now.

What does your part of the world look like?? Beautiful as mine? We would love for you to share it with us.
P.S: All pictures above were taken at the beautiful Hofgarten at Coburg.

Sunday's in my City

The kids and I were home for a week'a autumn vacation. Generally, I look forward to the school reopening, but not this time. For those who do not know, I have been attending full time classes for the past 6 months in an attempt to learn the Deutsch language. So, this means I too need to drag myself back to school tomorrow......:( 
If you do drop my home tomorrow morning, I will be like a little kiddo repeatedly muttering to myself..." I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go". And then hubby dear tries to make me feel better by saying.."You have come this far. Another month to go and then you are done!!" My man sure knows how to slowly encourage and motivate me to learn something new.

So much for my lessons. Coming back to what we did. Kids and museums, this combination can never go wrong during a holiday. I must admit that Germany does have many impressive museums. The museum of Natural History in Coburg was one where we accidentally stumbled into. A visit to the fortress coupled with an autumn walk was the plan when the museum came into view on our path. And then to pleads of "bitte, bitte" which means "please, please" we had to give in. I am glad we did. 


As much as I am not waiting for winter, it's funny how the wild boars in the fake snow excited me....:D Really..lol!!!



To me, they all looked real, just like in the zoo. Only difference being these were up close!!
I love bears!! They remind me so much of Brother Bear..

Check out the otter with a fish underneath his paw watching out to see who is eyeing his meal. Impressive??

This lioness was a beauty. I also began to wonder whether these animals at some point were real?? What do you think?
