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...

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...
