closer.

i visited the frankfurt zoo again, this time with l. and my new camera. it was a beautiful day, i wish we could do things like these more often. i'm always a little bit sad about this, because l. is quite different from me. i love being in nature, she's preferring the solitude of her personal 4 walls. but sometimes we meet in the middle and it's always so charming when it happens. but first of a few random pictures shot on a birthday party. already with my new canon powershot sx130 is. i'm in love with this camera. it's bigger than my old one, but it shoots beautiful, beautiful photos. 




the moon! have you seen the moon yesterday evening? it was huge and beautiful and surrounded by misty clouds. lovely. ( addition: well, i thought the moon yesterday was huge. but supposedly the moon will be even bigger tonight! hopefully the sky will let the moon shine through the thick clouds! )

onto the animals.

dromedaries!


tigers!

egyptian goose and its little gooselings *O*

they were adorable.

don't ya think?

sea otters! quite cheeky these guys :D

l.'s wonderful pink hair!

little plushy things! unfortunately i can't tell you what these animals are. something mouse-like at least!

golden lion tamarin!

another little critter which name i forgot.

gundi! chubby little things!

this little bearded dragon was so photogenic! a model in its entirety.

random blossoms :3

sonoran desert frog. can't find informations about him anywhere.

this guy was really sassy! a water monitor!


rhinoceros iguana!

leafcutter ants!

tropidacris collaris.

a beauty, non?

millipedes *O*

southern cassowary!

flamingos.

i don't really have a clue when it comes to corals and fish. so i let these speak for themselves.


my most favourite animals in the world. meerkats!

they are SO twee!

look at this pork belly! i guess it is pregnant, but... LOOK AT THESE ROLLS!

so fat, so cute, so adorable!

and a picture of l. and me :D we drank slushies!

and here they are, my new tattoos! they're moons, in case you couldn't find out. in fact, they're galileian moons, drawn by galileo galilei :D it's just. i love the moon. i love the symbolic meaning of it and how it affects our everyday lives! don't you catch yourself sometimes looking up at the nightsky, searching for the moon and its soothing lights? i do. that's why i chose it as my tattoo motive. and it also symbolizes a circle and this leads to the circle of life and this leads to my most favourite symbol: uroboros. you could interprete a lot into these moons. and it would all be true.




sorry for blinding you with naked legs of mine.

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...
