in october i took part in a little project - #lovetober, initiated by gala darling. everyday you had to fulfill a task, for example: go out and photograph your favourite flowers, show us some old photos, show us what a perfect day for you looks like etc. it was actually an instagram thing, but since i don't own a modern mobile phone i took advantage of my new camera, to test it out. i won't describe every day in detail, but sometimes i will point it out in the upcoming posts if there are challenge-related photos in the mix.
another highlight of the past october was a visit to the wildlife park in hanau. they have arctic wolves there and seeing those beautiful creatures from only a few metres away and listening to their howling was an incredible moment. for this year i'm planning to return again, to attend some of the wolf howling nights they organize several times a year. the wolves aren't the only attraction of the park, though, there are a whole lot more animals to marvel at, all animals that are native in germany's nature. the park is huge and invites you to spend quite a few hours in beautiful sceneries. after our wildlife encounter we made our way to a korean barbeque restaurant and let's just say it was of course delicious!
one of the tasks was to photograph your favourite flowers, but as i couldn't find dahlias anywhere i decided to take photos of various plants and flowers, because seriously, all are great on their own.
the world turned red and yellow and brown and it's seriously the best thing about autumn - those warm colours!
more delicate blossoms.
my plants in my appartement - at least a few of them they would soon surprise me with blooming in all glory!
this mouflon was a real sport.
the mooses had a young one!
momma moose.
papa moose? he was very sleepy.
more beautiful fall colours.

and a baby boar!
the stags were in heat that particular time of the year and we got to hear them blaring loudly all over the park :)
and there it was - the first arctic wolf i've ever seen.
and even more came around the corner!
with their white fur they are surely some good-looking ones :)
very keen smile.
i even managed to take a howling picture!
we then proceeded to visit the lynxes. they too are truly majestic animals.

this photo would be so perfect if there hadn't been fence between me and the lynx. but of course safety is a higher priority here. it always leaves me a bit sad to see those creatures behind a fence, it's a double-edged sword, the animal park concept.
beautiful sweetheart.

crooked trees are the best.
the park is defined by this old wall - relict of the former 'fasanerie' - a foraging ground for the nobilities.
