We found this amusing sign (put by the owner in his front yard) during one of our trips to Bavaria! It surely deserves the prize for the most amusing/funny and also most original sign I have ever seen! To speak about this place, we went to visit Mittenwald (perhaps I’ll talk about that later,) a marvelous town in Germany, near the Austrian border. We went up a grueling road that goes to an enormous and marvelous lake, Lautersee, surrounded by mountains, with several green meadows around it, as the photo below shows.

lago stupendo Lautersee

Of course you can reach the lake by bus… But can you compare it with a little healthy exercise in places where it is still possible to breath clean air??

Yes, I know, reading this title, you might feel skeptical. And I was it, too, until a few months ago. Since we have moved close to the woods, we got into the healthy habit of taking short walks in the afternoon. Well, beside the usual trusty friends (I mean dogs) we were quite surprised to see that even our cats follow us!

Exactly. As soon as we get out of the house and start on the upward slope toward the woods, immediately the cats show up. Some follow us directly from home; others we happened to meet along the road. (Were they strolling about in that area and heard us coming?)

So, contrary to what people usually believe, even cats can join us in our small tours. Some are “steadier followers” than others (like the kitty in the picture, Nina;) others, on the other hand, come with more sporadically, but more often than you might regularly think!

As you can see, my red kitten is already having “bad thoughts” about my Halloween banner hanging over her! I wonder if she’ll be able to resist the temptation to… jump over it before tonight! :)

That little frog was so cute! he was hiding beneath a floor of leaves in a wood nearby. We were gathering chestnuts, using a small branch to move the leaves (trying to find more fruits). Luckily we didn’t hurt him! from now on, we’ll be more careful, knowing that such little animals can live there!

Cats are really funny! they often hide in the most weird places. I like very much this picture of my cats for example: she was inside my bathtub and the white line that hides half of her makes a particular visual effect. I like very much her expression too!
