just like honey.

i love springtime almost as much as autumn. the blooming, the awakening of the nature, there's just a feeling to it, that makes me think of honey. i love honey a lot, but i eat it rarely, because i want it to be a luxury. everytime i eat honey, my heart is full of enjoyment and peace, and it's so nourishing. when spring comes, i always feel like this, too. especially on sunny days. even the bees & bumble bees start searching for their honey again, no?

hanging out at lea's flat. cuddling with her plush animals :)

on easter my parents came to visit me. trip to the rhine is always included. sparkling water.

rhine meadows.

i look quite awkward and cold here. it was cold. at the same time it was so warm sitting in the sun. 

willows are going green.

my new safety pin dress. it has pockets. it's comfortable. i even feel kind of pretty in it. rare occasion.

heavenly smelling little blossoms.

oh, bumble bee, how much i love thee.

i love all the little buds, almost exploding open. like little moons. only moons don't explode. most of the time, that is.

and cracked open, showing their inner beauty.

this is pretty much not as beautiful as the pictures above. we've made a visit to a medieval market, together with lea. there was a torture presentation and this little guy's head was just hanging around.

spiked fish! oh, i'd really liked to eat those, but they still needed time.

theodor-heuss-bridge from wiesbaden to mainz and the other way round.

whole outfit this time. sorry for the duckface.

the reduit in mainz-kastel, where the medieval market took place. beauty place to be.

picture perfect, non?

more blossoms.


love these statues, sleeping gargoyles, one eye open though, so they could spy onto passengers.

little fountain. finally the water is flowing again.

my newest possession - an almost uroboros ring. because uroboros symbols are mostly of snakes. but this one is a lion's head eating its tail. still, for me it symbolizes the cycle of life, death and rebirth. i like the concept of this. because everything is a cycle and everything turns back to its roots. even the spring season will turn to summer and then to autumn and back to winter until it is spring again. isn't it such a wonderful metaphor? and also a big truth. everything is uroboros.

my most favourite band, dir en grey, even dedicated an whole album to it.



let's see what the rest of spring will bring.

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...
