spring walks & medieval seasons.

it's so nice to look back in time. especially when hard times are around and things fuck up badly.

i have a water damage in my appartement for quite some time now and it's all very complicated because the woman living above me declined to open her doors for two weeks. yesterday evening the water came running down again. she witnessed it herself, i made her look at it. and the next morning finally someone came to see what was wrong. and it's all her fault. all the time. apparently she meddled with her shower drains and that was the reason why the water was soaking through my ceilings, putting my kitchen lights out & leaving ugly spots. now we'll see how well everything will dry out, so i can finally order an electrician & a painter. about the costs of it...i guess the woman above and her renter will have to sort this out by themselves. since it came from above all bills will be send there.

and looking at these pictures reminds me of nicer times & it kind of gives me hope for surviving this episode without losing my mind too much...

a bicycle lying around randomly.

stumbling blocks. these signs in the pavement can be found in front of various houses. in former times jews lived there, before world war II began. they are remembrance insignias.

timber-framed houses in idstein.

the weekend after easter there was a medieval market in idstein. of course i'd go and visit it! it was packed but still very nice.

beautifully dissected animals.

the tent of a witch.

tower of the witches.

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...
