may: orphan kittens & childhood village.

at the end of may i had a week off of work and went home. it wasn't a good week. i had a small accident with huge consequences while visiting my brother, then, when returning home from a big odyssey to a police department, we had to discover that shadow, my cat, was missing and left two little kittens. a lot of of gadgetry and house equipment broke along the way, and it seriously felt like one big week of poop. only the baby kittens made up for all of these drawbacks, and my father's birthday celebration by the end of the week. also, my parent's garden is beautiful at any time of the year and it also provided a calming surrounding, working in the garden helped me processing all which happened and mourning my sweet shadow cat. we have never found her.

meet momo and little devil. momo is the tiger black&grey&white cat and little devil the almost black one. both found new homes when they were 8 weeks old. we had to take care of them both and we were very glad that they were already old enough to drink and eat little pieces of cat food ( that were soaked in kitten baby milk ). they soon thought i was their mother, only crawling out of their hidden place when they knew i was around. they were the sweetest, both of them, and i miss them. momo went to live with my brother and his girlfriend, who also have one more cat, pepe. i hear he integrated very well. little devil went to a young couple who already had 2 cats. i'm sure he's doing well.

castle island in my home village. i'm still waiting for the day it has been repurposed as some kind of recreation area.

this grave stands in front of the castle chapel in the upper part of my village. i'm a bit sad, because it is too beautiful to let it stand in the weather, but then again, hiding it inside the chapel where no one can see it, is a shame, too.


village surroundings.


momo's milkface :3

little devil had very sharp claws. he also had an umbilical hernia, but it wasn't severe. the animal doctor said that it was only minimal and that an operation will be the solution when little devil gets a little older. it didn't prevent him to run & climb around like the devil he is, as my parents told me before his new owners came to get him. he was a wild boy.

momo was also pretty wild, but he stole every heart with his charms and that made up for his wild actions.


discovering the world.



i loved his talking face :3


how tiny he was ;O;


hanging out on the mattress after having a long nap. me, aka human mama, napped with them yD

sleepy eyes.

cuddling is the very best thing. they delighted my heart a lot <3 p="">
playing around in a box.


of course i needed to photograph flowers in the garden. my parents have so many different flowers & plants in their garden, i love the diversity. unfortunately i often forget to ask what kind of plants they have.



my father and me planted a japanese cherry tree!

beautifully coloured pansies.

they look so velvety!

big ass clematis.

a solar lamp lampion hanging around in the garden.

and a frog sculpture i gifted my mother.

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...

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas  colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
