Germany, a country with a rich history and diverse landscapes, is characterized by impressive biocultural diversity. From the dense forests of the low mountain ranges to the expansive coastlines of the north, Germany offers a wide range of ecosystems and habitats. The flora is diverse, encompassing a wealth of plant species, including deciduous and coniferous trees in the forests, as well as typical German flowers like the Edelweiss in the Alps. The fauna is also abundant, with a variety of bird species in the forests and wetlands, as well as mammals such as deer, wild boar, and foxes. German culture is closely connected to nature, and the protection and preservation of biocultural diversity play an important role in the country's environmental and conservation movements. Despite urban development and environmental pressures, conserving this diversity remains crucial for Germany's future and the well-being of its residents.
That's how my painting looks now. I changed the title from "Terrarium Snake and Monarch Butterfly" to "Inside". That's an insssider. ❤️😉 It's almost complete. Later it gets a frame that represents a terrarium. Then, if sloth wills, it's finished.
I can look back on a year of wonderful experiences. This year was full of colorful flowers, my heart is filled with love. I feel that my focus is on the right things. 😊
The tear on this photo comes from the feeling of sadness. The loved one, far away. The desire for physical closeness couldn't be fulfilled. I captured this moment and I like the result. It's a pure photo. A quiet moment of solitude. An expression of vulnerability.❤️
It's just a sparkling "I love you!" running down my face.💖
Don't worry, I am ok! 😊✨

The reasons for tears are very diverse. There are tears of joy, concern, sadness, fatigue, physical or emotional pain or as a reaction to an external stimulus such as when cutting onions. 🧅🗡️😭
They are often associated with feelings and some even know how to fake them ("crocodile tears").🐊💦
However, their basic functions include lubricating the eyes, removing irritants and aiding the immune system. They even contain germicidal enzymes like lysozymes. 🦠🙃
Common yellowjacket, Vespula vulgaris (08/2020 in Oberursel, Germany)
Until around mid-August they mainly feed on protein in form of insects or meat. This is how they supply the larvae. As soon as the adults no longer have to take care of the brood, they need sugar to survive. That's why they get annoying. But that's no reason to kill or torment them. They do valuable services: pollinate plants and keep the environment clean. In contrast to the wasp, humans have a large brain.
