late october, soon to be november.

i need to quickly catch up with my photos, a plan has ripened in my head, that i need to start the new year really fresh. no legacies. i also think i should bring more diversity into this little blog of mine. maybe write a fews texts once in a while, about things that move me or recommendations... just something with more substance. something that will remind me of the person i was when i return back in 5 years to see what i've been up to in 2013.

but until then, i really need to blog those posts. no more procrastination. let's see if i can keep up. let's start with some more autumnal pictures in a time when christmas should be on your mind. but on the other hand: isn't it also important to reflect on the past?

spider webs in my parent's garden.

i love the colours of this tree. always. it's the autumn tree of my childhood.

tiny mushrooms on wood.

a foggy evening.



medieval stage on the onion market in weimar. did not shoot more photos. i feel with every year i'm getting older, i try to grasp things more with my eyes than with my camera.

warm flames.

one day my parents, my brother and me did another round of mushroom hunting. we ended up at the barrage lütsche - a lake i haven't visited before. it really wasn't nice weather when we started our tour, but the sun would eventually peek out the clouds in the afternoon. and the lake was really beautiful and kind of dramatic looking. we sure have little unknown jewels in my home state :)


a picture perfect fly amanita

i loved the mossy grounds and baby mushrooms showing their small heads. we surely made a good catch this time around, our basket was so full  in the end that the mushrooms toppled out of it the whole way back, haha.

and the farn woods were beautiful, too.


my brother found the skull of a wild boar. it was still in decay and i didn't take it with me. i once found a deer's skull, too and took it home. i'm still owning it. one of my most loved possessions.

more amanita.



finally the clouds gave way for the sun.

the beach with its stones and rotten wood stumps was quite magic.

a view onto the barrage.



when we drove back we spotted little bright dots amongst the green. the trees turned autumnal really late this year. i feel like everything's a month too late. in early december it still felt like the middle of autumn.

colours next to my work place.

this church is also situated right next to my work place.

a mushroom meal! it was delicious.

waking up to beautiful sunshine.

and the trees coloured themselves in the best reds and yellows and browns.

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...
