april '18: leftovers.

roe buck.

just like last time for the month of march, the month of april 2018 had some leftover pictures that i felt fit nowhere else. since they only consisted of a few pictures they didn't really warrant their own big post. so again, i threw them together with other pictures. the first few were from a visit to a constant favourite: fasanerie hanau. it's a big animal park where they keep native game, predators like wolves, lynxes & wild cats and birds galore! it's a really natural & nice animal park and the animals have huge compounds to move around in. i kind of photographed very little animals, i think my camera battery was empty after a while, so... here are still some nice pictures i didn't want to let waste away on my drive.

discovered a gray heron by a little pond.

he's that tiny spot in the middle, where the two trees are very closely standing together.

loved the scenery. and the mirroring.

some wallowing grounds for the wild boars.

i really love the naturally designed compounds. good landscaping.

hello, mr. clean! this lynx wants to be very presentable for you ;)

a brimstone looking for nectar. you know what we call these in german? zitronenfalter - lemon butterfly. i like it better than brimstone, haha.

those water holes were everywhere and provided some nice perspectives.

and a duck couple was swimming through one of those water holes as well!

a canal like waterway. my guess is, that it actually was manmade for some unknown reason. maybe as a drainage for some ponds that you can find throughout the park?

this structure also looked like its purpose had to do with water drainage. the park was once a pheasantry, so basically where nobility bred & shot 'wild' game. maybe they also used the ponds for breeding several fish & used various techniques for water level leverage or something.

lynx beauty on the facade of the main building inside the park.

the next three pictures are just of the moon and some clouds and how bright the moon was and therefore illuminated the clouds magically. unfortunately my camera didn't capture it well, but well enough to not absolutely dismiss them as trash.

and since the moon is actually my all time lover and will always be my most beloved one - have this nice feist song for closure of this tiny post:

My moon, my man's a changeable land

Such a lovable land to me

My care, my co-lead barber I know

There's nowhere to go but up

How on my sleeve my beggar should be

The song's out of key again

My fools, my things

We're digging the things

If the candlelit page again

Take it slow

Take it easy on me

Shed some light

Shed some light on things

Take it slow

Take it easy on me

Shed some light

Shed some light on things

My moon and me

Not as good as we've been

It's the dirtiest clean I know

My care, my co-lead barber I know

There's nowhere to go

Take it slow

Take it easy on me

Shed some light

Shed some light on things

Take it slow

Take it easy on me

Shed some light

Shed some light on things

My moon

The moon my man

My moon

The moon my man

My moon

The moon my man

My moon

The moon my man

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...
