I Don’t Want Summer to End
While I couldn’t wait for Autumn to arrive last year because it has been such an awfully hot summer in 2018, this year I find myself already missing summer although it’s not really over yet.

The Metamorphosis of A Butterfly
A couple of months ago I came across some very beautifully illustrated books about Maria Sybilla Merian , a naturalist and scientific illustrator born in the 17th century, who was one of the first naturalists to observe insects directly. Her artistic skills and careful observations were extraordinary, as was her determination to travel as far as to Surinam toContinue reading “The Metamorphosis of A Butterfly”

In the Mood for Pumpkins
I don´t know about you, but I just love pumpkins! There are five domesticated species of Cucurbitae (Latin for gourd), all of which can be treated as winter squash because the full-grown fruits can be stored for months. At the beginning of October I bought a couple of different looking pumpkins to make not only soupContinue reading “In the Mood for Pumpkins”
