the last few months #5.

french way of living?

the next batch of pictures are from two weeks ago.
i drove back home to thuringia to welcome our french friends of our sister city!

it was raining all the time they were here. it was a bit unnerving, but we tried to enjoy it anyway. well, and my french is absolutely catastrophic. i'm glad that i'm still able to understand it at least a tiny bit. that was another thing that got me upset. i'm sad that i don't have the time to polish my french. damn work...


shadow gave birth to 4 little kitties. well, they all died but one. here you can see two, one of them we found dead 2 days later. i was so sad. i hear the last one is healthy, though, and my brother and his girlfriend are pondering to take it home. one of shadow's older kids, samson, would have a new sister then!


we made a trip to erfurt, the capital of thuringia. i always disliked erfurt, but i've fallen in love again. the old city is so beautiful. i miss my home country a lot sometimes.


the dome of erfurt.


city hall.


art hall of erfurt.


a very old letter box!


miniature of erfurt's old city. it was made for blind people. it had descriptions in braille and i was tempted to close my eyes and let my fingers do the seeing. it was nice!


on the krämerbrücke.


the schokoladenmanufaktur ( chocolate manufacture ). the BEST chocolate shop i know. you can buy the most delicious truffles and pralineés here and they're all handmade!


'humans are felling trees to produce paper. and they try to fill the paper with the emptiness of their heads.'


street art.


hanging paper puppets.


the river gera.



then we drove to the ega ( garden exhibition of erfurt ). they had a cute inspiration exhibit about how to decorate rooms. like the land of milk and honey.


i loved those glass stones.


um. well i like cacti. a lot. even they look like penises sometimes, though, haha XD
and with this little guy i leave you for tonight.

may '20: seeking modernism.

super pink rhododendron buds emerging! i start off this post with some flower images to appreciate and praise the time of spring, especially the month of may, which is the most abundant spring month to me personally. all the blossoms, all the fresh greens amass during may, and my heart and mind are hardly ever able to not frolick & gush about it all! for this post i am returning to one walk i did with the sole purpose to find a special mid-century villa in königstein ( which would ultimately prove to be a failure - i did find it, but i couldn't approach it properly to have a good look at it and only ever saw a tiny bit of the garden/forest side ). the whole walk was not a letdown, though, as i did find some other mid-century & brutalism gems and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the old spa town in the taunus mountains. rhododendron shrubs yield all kinds of different blossoms in myriad colours, they are easy to breed, therefore a wide variety can be found all over the wor...

autumn impressions.

a selected assortment of autumn related things. ( or things that don't fit into a 'bigger picture' ) i will get around to posting my autumn vacation photos as well. my parents and me visited france a second time and i think it was almost as wonderful as the first time. but i'll get to that soon. moth in front of a vinyl shop window. i bet you know who's smile it is that strikes at you from the record. elvis! i went mushroom hunting again, this time with jasmin, the best mushroom finder i have :) but we didn't have a lot of time together this past autumn, i am very sad to admit this. she's one of our apprentices in the serving area in our market, but recently she's on exchange in a different outlet until january. but soon we'll have her back and our sporadic meetings will stop being sporadic. i think times like these make me realize that there's something worth living for. mostly my life is very grey and i'm so thankful to s...

of dragons & critters and yin & yang kittens.

my cat shadow is a very prolific cat and gives birth to baby sweethearts annually. we always let them grow up until they're old enough to be given away. growing up in a huge garden where they can roam around freely - isn't that the best way to grow up? it's always a joy to visit my parents and my cat in that time of the year. i have also included some pictures of a little rhine trip i made in the middle of may. and the occasional random ones that didn't fit somewhere.  rhine wood dragon. sitting on the rhine beach enjoying the beautiful day. my stone collection of the day. ( i seriously have a lot of stones in my home. i love to collect them! ) the river rhine near eltville. random skull assortment ( shot this at the naxoshalle in frankfurt - i was there for a japanese movie festival ) rosey roses. they also smelled heavenly. raindrops on my window. chameleon tail. i adore spirals. baby kittens drinking momma m...
