Our Backyard

The outbreak of the Coronavirus Covid-19 (February 2020) has forced many people to sit at home. Directly behind our house is a lot of nature and a lot of flowers. In the spring it is a wealth of flowering plants. I took many photos with the phone in my hand. The species diversity is enormous, so I will still be busy if I want to photograph them all.

If you see that this is not correct, please let me know.
