Hey, everyone! Do you love #history? Do you love #ExtraHistory? What about #calendars?

Well, you're in luck! The awesome folks at Extra History have started a Kickstarter campaign to fund their project Extra History 2025 Calendar - “History Happens Every Day”, and it looks fantastic. I pledged today. Can't wait to get the calendar and the #Walpole pushpin. (And postcards! I'm always a sucker for #postcards.)

(I may have splurged a little...)

"Red Bottlebrush Flower"

This is a very aesthetic looking red bottlebrush flower with a bee searching for nectar. The picture was taken in the cute little town of Walpole, South Western Australia. They don't grow here in Germany, I am always fascinated about all these different plants and animals around the world.
