may '18: potpourri.

fresh red leaves of the japanese maple tree in my parent's garden.

it's time for another post about various random things i took photos of during the month of may - pictures that never quite fit to a theme.

fresh growth:




a tiny visit in sömmerda:

the brickstone facade of the public swimming pool ( built in 1976 ). 

i really, whole-heartedly love the relief! it's a wonderful example of GDR art in architecture.

the public swimming pool. i couldn't find any info on who the architect was or who created the reliefs on the facade. i only know it got built in 1976.

some lovely smelling blossoms. ( i think it's honeysuckle )

the canal for kayaking and rafting.

the unstrut river flowing through backyards and creating idyllic havens of relaxation.

it was so beautiful here!

canola fields around my home village:



home in the plains of the thuringian basin.

we have lots of wind turbine parks in the basin.

a view onto dielsdorf, a tiny village that's actually a district of the village i come from - schloßvippach.


when you find a single salmon-coloured poppy in the middle of a corn field... 😍


random geometric patterns on tiny cemetery mourning halls:


cozy spaces in my parent's garden:

underneath apple trees.

my dad's hobby is felling trees & chopping wood and creating wood staples in our garden ;P

the green paradise that is my parent's garden.



apple tree shadows.

i cannot resist the beauty of iris flowers.

lots and lots of chamomiles.


and sunshine lilies!


i love how the watering can just randomly was thrown into the garden 😂 lupine blossoms are so wonderful, though,

columbines or granny's nightcap.

two very rare animals on this path: waterhose snakes ;P

even simple clover blossoms please my frugal heart.

now that the may coverage is over and done with - let's move to june '18!

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...
