Description

I've always thought this is just a wild flower that grows by the country roads. Later I've been told that this is a mini-sunflower... well, be it so! the shot was taken in Galveston, TX in the same day when I captured those fishermen! Today's joke (got it from an European friend - had to translate it): An African immigrant, just after being recognized his legal status as legal resident in Germany, he started walking on the sidewalks of his new hometown. Soon he sees another walker and he starts talking to him: - Thank you, dear German fella, thank you for accepting me in your beautiful country, for offering me help, home and welfare! The walker says: - You're wrong, buddy! I'm Albanian, not German! The African keeps walking further and soon meets another walker. - Thank you for accepting me in your beautiful Germany! says the African. The guy stares for a second to the African, and tells him; - I'm sorry, but I'm not German, I'm Bosnian! Then he sees another guy, and tells him the same thing as he did with previously two guys. - I'm sorry dude, but I'm not German, I'm Russian! Kinda disappointed, the African keeps walking, then he sees an old woman passing by. He stops her and asks her: - Excuse me, madam, are you German? - No, answers the old woman, I'm Turkish! Wondering what's going on, he asks her another question: - But woman, where in the world are these Germans? The old woman checks her handwatch and answers: - They're for sure at work!

wunderbares "sonniges" Foto! Kann ich gebrauchen. Bei uns schneit es schon den ganzen Tag! Und Dein Witz ist natürlich KEIN Witz. Er ist die Wahrheit. Oder wenigstens die halbe....
