in the rain, on rabbit's pathways & garden delight.

raindrops on flowers, plants and blossoms are perhaps one of the best things to photograph, don't you agree with me? everything seems so much fresher after a decent rain fall. the colours of plants seem to pop.

happy snail!

in small villages as the one i grew up in, such views are very common!

a very old house near my childhood home. i always wanted to live in there, but it's in great disrepair... you'd have to take a lot of money into your hands to repair and restore everything.

a few years ago, there was still someone living in it. my wish is that in the future someone will buy this little ancient house and will bring it to life again. it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

the following pictures were made back in wiesbaden, on a sunny sunday in early may.

i followed the rabbit hiking trail, but i haven't discovered any.

but these cliffs in the middle of the forest will always be a favourite place of mine.

and some more pictures from early june when i was visiting my parents for a few days. the garden was in full bloom.

another snail slugging around.

poppies & cacti.

little baby kittens exploring the 'underwoods'. my cat shadow's first litter of the year.

clematis growth!

vines conquering trees.

Thank you.
They're so beautiful, don't you think? Especially the violet ones.

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...
