early spring.

these pictures are just from several spring walks i did on my own and with a friend. the first batch i made while visiting bad schwalbach - a spa town in the taunus mountains.

spring didn't arrive here yet, but the nature was about to explode in greens and bright colours.

i love how the tree's true colour is so grey that you could almost miss it and then the moss on it takes it to a whole different level.

a tree that was felled not too long ago.

and the other half of it. it was huge.

gluey resin.


small mountain creeks.

i love how it looks like it's late autumn, early november.


on the way back home i got to experience this wonderful sunset over the taunus mountains.

and an almost full moon in the night.

a single picture of the frankfurt skyline. ( i visited dearest l. on this day )

and then there was the day when i met up with n. to do our annual spring walk. it was a good day, we rarely get together anymore, everybody lives their own life with their own problems, but when we get together it's almost as if we never stopped seeing in each other.

beautiful daffodil.

magnolia trees are probably the most magnificient bloomers ever. unfortunately they don't smell as heavenly as they look.


they were already falling apart.


i took a bath in this sea of blossom :)

young goslins!


the freshest green you will find is always the springy kind ;)

this proofs: old people rock!

the japanese maples and their teeny tiny blossoms and leaves. i swear, this tree is maybe my most favourite tree, ever.

and the interior of the kurhaus hallway.

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...
