Hello lovely Hiveans !
It has been a while that I wrote my last post, but I have a simple reason for it .. I was suuuper busy with finishing my PhD Thesis ^^ .. It took me about half a year from preparing a printable final version of my PhD thesis, to do all the learning for my final Disputation and then the waiting time to get a fixed day for the Disputation .. but now .. I am finished and finally a Doctor of Chemistry 😁 .. I will write about my Thesis too one day in another posts, but this one here is dedicated to another topic. But just as a small spoiler, here is a picture of my doctoral hat .. PROUD ^^
One big advantage if your only tasks is to sit at home and learn, also not the easy stuff, is that your time is quite flexible. So I spent a lot of time outside in the close-by forest with him. It was really cool to watch him all this time as he is in an age now that he gets fascinated easily by the amazing nature around him. Today I want to present to you some pictures on what he found the most interesting of all.
Snow and even more snow!
This year the weather went crazy here in Germany! We had a total of four circles where temperature jumped from -3°C to 25°C withing just a week ❄️🔥⁉️ .. Thereby the top temperatures were around -12°C and 29°C. Also this was quite confusing for all the botany out there, it had the one advantage that we could experience several winter-wonderland moments in just 2 months ^^ .. The forest was left snow covered just over night and on the next day left us some awesome landscapes to admire.
We had a lot of fun walking around and stopped for quite a while in front of this frozen leaf here. It had a little icicle attached and you could watch the water slowly dropping down from it ^^
We had a lot of fun on these snowy days, were building snowman, had snowball fight and much more. This aggregation state of water was a really funny one to explore indeed, hehe 🤣 .. It grew even so cold that we had big icicles on the car!
Rain and even more rain!
After the snow comes the rain and this year we had a loooot of it 💧 .. I have to admit that these days were not as amusing as the snowy days, but they definitely had their own charm.
It was also a great time to spot mushroom and funghi all around the place and we had a little game going who will be able to find the most of them ^^
One thing that we found the most fun, was throwing stones into the countless little rivers and watch them splash onto the water .. But one time it went wrong and he grabbed a stone that was to heavy for him ^^ .. I was actually prepared to picture a big splash, but I recorded and even bigger one 😱 .. Unfortunately this was also the end of this days tour.
Finally the weather gets warmer and more stable!
But then the time of the big rain was over and we finally got more stable an relatively warm weather again. The benefit of dry and warm temperatures is definitely that you can freely run around and jump over branches wherever you turn to. Together with the starting bloom and the raising noise from the birds tweeting this time feels so energetically and alive ^^
After all these stormy, cold and rainy weather there are a lot of fallen trees in the forests too, but they feature a great chance to play and fool around ^^
And they are a good opportunity the learn something about the life circle of the forest, hehe 😉
Thank you!
Thank you very much for taking the time to read through my little posts. Also all the learning was super stressful I managed to spend my time well in many little excursions into local forest areas: These trips were so recreational all the time and left many beautiful memories in my mind. I found it also super interesting to watch my son exploring different things in the same places depending on the weather that we went there.

Brilliant to see cycles of weather transforming the landscape, watching and teaching your son is an experience of a lifetime, seeing life through the eyes of a child is a wonderful experience.
Congratulations on your accomplishment now a Doctor of Chemistry well done.
!BEER
Also I believe that I am still super enthusiastic when it comes to explore nature, my son nearly proves me all the time, that he is by far the better scientist ^^ .. children can just admire everything, even a worm hole in the earth can be interesting for half an hour 😁
Miniatures of what we were like, cast your mind back as to how many different things took us hours of investigation, fascinated by everything that moved. 😁
Thank you for the congartulations and the beer @joanstewart 😁
Congratulations and getting into the woods is wonderful !LUV
Thank you ^^ .. Forests are such magical places if we let them, hehe ✨

Wow! .. Thanks a lot for this awesome comment @brittandjosie ☺️ .. It directly motivates me a lot .. It was a troublesome time indeed and I still have other problems to conquer, but having the doctor in the pocket is soooooo relieving 😁 .. I am also very happy to have some time left now to focus on all these things that I had to postpone for so long .. And one day for sure we will be able to meet 😉 .. But unfortunately faith was not good for traveling purposes during the last two years .. But I didnt forget it 😁
Wow, congrats on your PhD man! Epic achievement :)
Thank you very much @phortun .. I am also soo happy to have this chapter closed now, hehe .. Thank you for stopping by at my posts! .. How are you holding on these days?
What a joy, dear friend @adalger, congratulations on your Ph.D. and what better way than to celebrate it as a family in the open air surrounded by immense nature, for those of us who love nature, being in a place like this is simply incredible.
enjoy it very much dear friend
What incredible places you have visited, ideal to do it as a family, I appreciate that you show us these beautiful images
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid weekend
Thanks @jlufer
I am suuuuuper sure that you understand it completely 😉 .. Without the forest walks in between and only and desctop in front of me, I would have gotten crazy 😜 .. Hope you are enjoying your time too and are relaxing outside this weekend 😉
Have a great weekend ahead 🤗
