Another year has gone by... 2011 in Review - Ein Rückblick auf 2011

Posted by MAKMU ta On Tuesday, December 20, 2011

 Merry Christmas to all my blog visitors around the world ! 
Have a happy and healthy New Year!
**********
Ich wünsche allen Blogbesuchern ein frohes Weihnachtsfest!
Ein glückliches und gesundes Neues Jahr, der ganzen Welt!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 
from 
Ottawa, the capital of Canada and City of Toronto.



           We installed a 'WildView' camera and a new squirrel proof feeder in our garden.  My goal was to get better pictures of birds. As of today, squirrels got used to the feeder and birds have more time to enjoy the food.                                                            ******
Wir installierten eine Kamera und ein neues Vogelfutterhaus in unserem Garten. Das neue Futterhaus, soll den Eichhörnchen, den Zugriff zum Vogelfutter verhindern. Mein Ziel war es, bessere Fotos von den Vögeln zu erhalten. Die Eichhörnchen, haben sich in der Zwischenzeit auch daran gewöhnt und lassen den Vögeln Zeit zum Fressen.

I love to create new wreath and other decorations during the year. Here are two of my favourite wreath 
with hops and sedum and hydrangea flowers.

I liebe es neue Kränze und andere Dekorationen, während des Jahres, zu binden. Hier sind zwei meiner Liebelingskränze mit Hopfen, Fette Henne und Hortensienblüten. 
Racoons in our garden - wildlife in the city.
Waschbären in unserem Garten - Wildtiere in der Stadt.

Our Guildwood garden in August - many flowers and butterflies.

This year the Japanese Beetle caused a lot of damage in our garden including surrounding areas. The beetle attacks roots, foliage and fruit of a variety of host plants, including roses and dahlias. 
During a few days I trapped over 500 beetles around our house.

In diesem Jahr, hat der Japanische Käfer, eine Menge Schaden in unserem Garten und  Umgebung, angerichtet. Der Käfer attackiert die Wurzeln, Blätter und Früchte von vielen Pflanzen, wie z.B. Rosen, und Dahlien.
Während ein paar Tagen, habe ich über 500 Käfer gefangen.
