One picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say. Thus, this blog will be mostly pictures. German emigrants, having no cameras, had to store pictures of the "old homeland" in "their minds'
eyes." Surely the images faded as the years went by. Fortunately, I can stop the fading of my memory pictures with pictures from my own camera, and the photography skills/pictures of some very kind residents of the "Alte Heimat"
At every step a magic moment and a little wonder. The trees, bushes, and undergrowth of this special homeland glimmer white on a foggy, frosty morning. Winter enchantment in the forest.
