november '17: moody november colours.

on fire.

i spent a last day at my parent's place before i headed back to wiesbaden and i used this day to capture some more autumnal photos. there's nothing much to add this time, so... moving on!

my parents have a few diverse japanese maple trees inside their garden and it's always such a treat to look at them in autumn. they seriously have the best foliage.

pink & orange magnificience.

this absolutely soothes my mind.

rust & fire on our little japanese cherry tree.

the last hollyhocks.

november roses.

ivy & some thick-leaved ground cover with a nice coloration.

we made a little walk around the village and met some chickens.

the chickens lived in a really cool place near the school yard - some kids made a mural on their living room walls :)

into the direction of the old dairy farm ( now kindergarten ).

this alley is one of my favourite lanes in my home village.

and as faith had it, i stumbled upon the most beautiful kitten of the whole area. and she immediately loved me ;O;

proof of some real kitten love. we snuggled quite a bit before i tore myself away from her. it was way too hard to say goodbye ^^; ❤🐱

this little house was always rented out, but these days no one lives here anymore. which makes me saaaad. with a little bit of effort this could be a really cute abode.

some more late roses. november roses are my favourite roses - as they provide colourful dots in an otherwise rather bleak environment ( except for the autumn foliage of the trees ).

the soil of my village, almost black, very clay-like & dense. it's good earth.

some wild scene in a little wooden patch near my home.

and thus ends the recollection of november 2017.

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...
