fasanerie wiesbaden again & zoo erfurt - animal maniac.

i have forgotten a few pictures in my last post, haha. the first seven pictures were still shot in the fasanerie wiesbaden. the other pictures are from my visit to the erfurt zoo in the middle of june when i visited my parents on short notice. yeah, i love me some animals.

big pig in the mud.

little mouflon baby.

big mouflon.

sleeping racoon.

racoon dogs. they are equally as good as normal racoons :P

swimming coypu! they may be one of my most favourite animals in the park :)

grooming itself :)

erfurt zoo.
we visited the zoo because of an event that takes place throughout summer: tropical nights. the zoo is open until 11 or 12 pm & everywhere are stages with street artists performing all kinds of shows, like belly dance, african music & many more things. it is quite an interesting atmosphere. plus you can see what zoo animals are doing in the night - some of them get really active :)

the lions were really photogenic this time :)



most favourite lion tongue :)



the ring-tailed lemurs had a baby! it was so fragile.

optical illusion.

domestic yaks have quite a lot of fur.

we walked this trail for the very first time! a shame! all these years we didn't know that this nature trail existed but when we went past the bisons it suddenly was there. of course we had to see what we had been missing out on. it was very quiet out there and we learned a lot about trees & bushes, flowers & nature.



and we had the pleasure of getting to know this perfect erfurt panorama. what a sight! almost as good as the view from the petersberg mountain in erfurt city.

they are building a new elephant residence & and i'm so excited to see the outcome :) later that evening we visited the old elephant facility & i realized again that they are such sensible & kind animals. they have really expressive eyes.

belly dancers.

fast little harvest mice.

can you spot the chameleon?

i'm sure you can spot it here :) notice the ringtail :)

oh, i guess you have to search some more!

i love camouflage games! spot the stick insect :)

a hiding short-eared elephant shrew. curious little things.

mission golden-eyed tree frogs :)

snakey snake. a russian rat snake.

i love these tails quite a lot.

a western beared anole.

to close this beautiful evening they had a light show finale. not your average firework :)

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...
