The lyf so short

Well, not really. But we've had several frosty nights already (although the trees and plants in general still aren't into this whole 'autumn' thing and try to act like it's still August) as a kindly reminder to, like, stock up on de-froster and put on winter tyres and such. Yesterday, the frost was followed by beautiful sunshine, so of course I had to go out and take lots of pictures of frozen stuff.
And then I remembered that I had also taken lots of pictures on our hike to Altenberg in late September, and never shared those with you (oh, you poor derived people!).

I will correct this negligence... now.

Brace for picspam.

( Under the cut as usual; loads of thumbnails as usual. No spider or other insect warnings this time, though I suppose if you're scared of cats or cows or herons or sheep or leaves or water or nature in general you may want to tread carefully... )
