random may pictures & deutsche bundestagswahl.

stonecrops. 

an assortment of various garden plants. nothing much to add here.

except, it's election day here in germany and i'm about to go voting. i just hope that the people of this country do the right thing and don't vote for the rightwing parties. i'm so scared they will move into the bundestag and get into the act of shaping this country's politics... 

wenn ihr wählen geht ( und ihr solltet, selbst wenn es euch egal ist, dann wählt wenigstens irgendeine nichtbedeutende partei ), bitte entscheidet euch nicht für die nationalsozialisten und 'besorgte bürger'-parteien. wollt ihr in einer welt leben, die friedvoll und offenherzig ist, die euch den zugang in andere kulturen der welt offen hält, die respekt und gegenseitiges verständnis entgegenbringt, oder wollt ihr in einer welt leben, die mit hass und niedertracht, mit vorurteilen und engstirnigkeit, mit krieg und leid und pein verbunden ist?

wir müssen aktiv an uns arbeiten, auch in unserer derzeitigen situation, wir müssen weiter dinge verändern und verbessern. aber mit der politischen rechte wird das nicht ins positive sondern ins negative umschlagen. einen dritten weltkrieg will doch wirklich keiner. oder seid ihr eures lebens nun plötzlich doch so müde, dass ihr eine rechtsnationale politik gutheißen würdet? am abgrund zu leben, mit der angst, dass man jederzeit von einer atombombe oder einem hagelfeuer an panzerschüssen, bomben, gewehrsalven getroffen werden könnte, wenn eure regierung immer mehr provoziert und nicht de-eskaliert?

wenn ihr wieder in die zeit hitler's zurückwollt, dann kann ich nur sagen: armes menschenvolk.

phloxes.

white peony. look at her being all frilly and gorgeous.

lots more frilly peonies.

a flower that might be related to geraniacae?

chives in full bloom. love my dad's raised garden beds!

my camera was a tiny bit dirty that day, so excuse the flowmarks. chamomile.

little ladybug crawling on peony blossoms.

i couldn't get enough of these white peonies this year. what a feast for the eye.

lit up a small bonfire. it's so hypnotizing to sit around one and stare into the flames, right?

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...
