Visited the Tierpark Oberwald in Karlsruhe

by Matthew near Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, GermanyApril 21, 2025Gave 1 Hour for Earth

The Tierpark connects seamlessly to the surrounding forest and is openly accessible to families and joggers. It belongs to the Karlsruhe Zoo which I hope to visit later this year. They just got a polar bear cub called Mika which is very popular.

I got my crafty little b*tch on and crocheted this book sleeve from thrifted yarn! Naturally there was only one book to use it for.

Since the weather has gotten nicer these days i got the idea of going out on a few walks. I took my camera with me so i was much more observant and looking at small details, and ended up seeing 3 snakes i'm from Denmark so thats not very comme to see. (sadly i wasn't able to get a picture of them)

I went to the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan! I wondered to every room I could find for a few hours and I feel like I didn't absorb it all. There were a lot of extremely well done taxidermy, but it was still a bit off putting. During the week they have a library open! would recommend!

IT’S LAMB SEASON and I am LIVING for it! Seeing lambs everywhere makes my heart so happy (and my cute aggression go a little crazy) and of course we can’t forget to appreciate the grown sheep too.

Took a moment to capture flowers and bugs in our garden.

I’ve also been attempting to learn to crochet recently. So far I’ve only managed some beanies for myself and family but we shall see where this takes me.

This morning I visited the Boston Museum of Science - I especially spent a lot of time looking through their fossil collections! The Museum does so much for both furthering science (esp with kids!) as well as local conservation efforts. Happy Friday everyone!

Good Friday Disc Golf

Seen on stream

by phoenickes near Texas City, Texas, United StatesApril 18, 2025Gave 3 Hours for Earth

Had the day off so decided to play some disc golf at a local park. Disc golf is cool because it gets you outside and is also (usually) way more sustainable than golf because courses use natural obstacles and are built in already existing parks. For those who were watching I ended 5 over par ¨̮
