a lot to catch up.

i'm on vacations at the moment waiting for my parents to arrive. we plan to stay here in wiesbaden for a while and then head up to the north by the baltic sea for two weeks. i'm so excited, mainly because i swore to myself to write again. i miss wiriting somehow, and am eager to see if i still can come up with something decent. life has been pretty much a bitch lately, and i need some space for myself right now. the internet will be off for two weeks starting in a week and i guess it will do me quite good. concentrating on my existence and experiences alone. you just need this sometimes in this fast driven life we lead.

until i bid you goodbye here are some pictures from last month.

hello. my hair has gotten pretty long.

some pictures of a zoo visit at the beginning of june. please bear with me not writing so many captions. most of the time i say the same thing anyways, so it's not a big loss.









this hyena impressed me a lot. never knew they were so big and kind of bear-like. i know they're predators and quite dangerous, but the feeling got to me that these creatures are kind of gentle, too. it's something in they're eyes. they've encountered a lot of fights and their scars are quite intriguing.






kitties. i am quite sad about these pictures. i have promised l. a little kitty and we were so excited and everything and when the day came when we wanted to get it news arrived that the one she had chosen ran away, or got stolen... i don't want to think about the little one being dead at all, especially since my parents didn't find him. this kitty is a girl though, and the girls have already found a new home.

more girly kitties.

the boys. this photo especially hurts. the kitty that got missing is on the left.

this little guy has been sent to a home as well.

the girls were quite beauties, but also rather rebellious.

delicate blossoms.

shadow, the mother, breastfeeding her little ones.

such a sweet sight.



we also visited a chinese garden near where my parents live. it opened just a few years ago and was very new to me. it was really worthwhile and i wish i had something like this in my area as well. i'd go out and take my books with me and writing material and i'd be in my own oasis.


dragons.



















dad.

i was so magical, almost.



replicas of the terracotta army.


we also had coffee and cake. quite delicious.

this berry cake was heavenly... well almost any cake is, actually. i'm a cake person.

coconut cappuccino.


and a last picture of the first real thunderstorm of the year.

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...
