It's fall in Germany! Near peak foliage, actually, which here means mostly yellow leaves. We get a few oranges and even fewer reds. Almost no reds. The Germans call it the "golden autumn". So today we went for a walk in the woods on the edge of our town, Bad Dürkheim, to enjoy the colors. The forest here is actually the largest forest in Germany, the Palatinate.
Below are some pictures from our walk.
We collected chestnuts. It's really popular in Germany to pick chestnuts in the fall when they're falling off the trees, then you make chestnut soup or just roast them and eat them as a snack.
A few closeups of the spiky outer shell of the chestnuts, and the last picture is our haul from today! I actually don't like chestnuts but Martin loves to roast them and have them as a snack so he's in heaven.
