easter holidays.

easter holidays with my parents were short but nice... as always when my parents visit. even though we have quarrels about the most stupid things ever sometimes... it's safe to say that i appreciate and love my parents very deeply. there were times were i couldn't connect with my mother but nowadays it's almost funny how much alike we are. we share the same thoughts about the world - and it's not always positive. but i also inherited the consistency & stubbornness of my father - and we share the love for photography. 

we made a trip to kaub - a small town by the rhine that is famous for its castle situated IN the rhine. but first we had to drop off some books by a little book shop in eltville. you can put books you don't need in a small trailer & for a small amount of money you can also take books with you again. nice idea, no?

kurfürstliche burg eltville -  castle eltville.

rhine glow.

castle gutenfels.

basically says that you have to bend down to enter the wine cellar ;)

and this one says that the bank is for the people that always sit there.

it always mesmerizes me how people built homes, towers & houses hundreds of years ago. i love old walls and architecture.


crocus in dry earth.

this is a hotel for fast bees ;)

a huge villa - apparently a dental clinic. with a porsche parked in their garage.

old wine vehicle.

buds about to explode.

castle pfalzgrafenstein - the castle in the rhine.

rhine, castles & wine hills.

strange green flowers.

the best little plants.

mom walking down the street.

cute little vineyard?

a cat we stumbled upon by accident - just looking down some abysses brings you such cute sights.

and another one which greeted us with a very loud meow. i was really scared first, its voice was really strong. and it didn't want to leave us.

cute entry.

don't forget while having pleasures that also the poor one has to live.

yes, ANOTHER cat. a really grumpy & fat one.

timber framed love!


arty church doors.

they are the best - crooked houses.

small ginnels.

castle gutenfels was some kind of hotel before... now it seems to be private property.



flower explosions.


goodbye kaub - until next time!

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...
