August 30, 2020

At least not at the department of Economic History. For now. Yet, this is the “new normal” at the place where … More Who can babysit the pelican?
Bella and her boy
August 3, 2020
Last week we had company from a Golden silk orb spider – a very common spider in the Americas. I call her Bella, because she is a beautiful spider if you ask me. She looks very dangerous as well, but she is not poisonous to humans. We noticed her one day and started observing her and her web a bit. … More Bella and her boy
