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...

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas  colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
