1 geranium house
2 geranium house
3 barn The building may once have been part of the town fortifications. Loophole window. Sagging 'yoke' ridge. The lower tile courses have been renewed. Support somewhat wanting. Foreground: Maple and elder.
4 shutters
5 shutters
6 shutters
7 banded reflexions The first span of the bridge which the Beinstein Gate was supposed to guard. (A convenient mid river island serves as base for the middle pillar. Usual location of choice for such bridges.)
10 mallard hen should be a brown beaked mallard hen (or a very cleverlly disguised drake)
11 sprig of bramble Blackberries. Swimming aid assisted harvesting is not recommended.
12 Impatiens glandulifera + Epilobium Showy Himalayan Balsam and slightly wooly Great Willowherb
13 Impatiens glandulifera + Epilobium
14 Impatiens glandulifera A stowaway under the bottom leaf is bidding his time.

18 Epilobium hirsutum
19 muddy waters with driftwood
20 ditched shopping cart Made no salvage attempt. Gut feeling, the token slot will be empty anyhow.
21 between moat and river catch myself a tadpole
22 Hedera Flowers in fall and bears fruit in spring. Counter cyclic if nothing else.
23 Hedera
24 Hedera Umbels with ripe and unripe berries. Umbels (corymbs with single branching point) are the characteristic hallmark of the carrot family but Ivy is distantly related (second cousins once removed). Different family, selfsame order: Apiales.
25 Hedera
26 between moat and river fire bug on Sedum
27 Phytolaccia americana Pokeweed. Introduced, as the name implies, but the local birdlife takes to it. (Gizzard winged seed dispersal - which may explain the present location.)
28 Phytolaccia americana
29 Phytolaccia americana Candles burn from top to bottom, racemes flower (ripen) from bottom to top. One way to keep them apart.
30 Phytolaccia americana some time lapse licence
31 Chelidonium majus Greater Celandine. The old town wall hardly distinguishable from a natural rockface.
