Better Late Than Never: The Changing Seasons – June 2021

Yep, that’s right, I’m almost 3 weeks late for June’s Changing Seasons post, and here’s the reason why. I was reasonably proud for having completed my doodle calendar for June just in time, and was about to write the post, when I encountered a problem with my WordPress blog.Said problem was, that after clicking on

The Changing Seasons – May 2020

  It’s time again for the wonderful challenge The Changing Seasons hosted by my dear friend Su from Zimmerbitch!   May presented itself with a lot of “firsts“…   …like the first rhubarb of the year that I stewed into a compote and served with warm semolina, a childhood favorite of mine that I still look forward to

A Splash Of Red

  In this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge Patti invites us to to a photo scavenger hunt to find things that are red. She says – and I couldn’t agree more – that: “Sometimes in the middle of winter, the world is reduced to stark shades of black and white.  This is the time when my eyes are

The Changing Seasons – August 2019

  It’s time again for the wonderful challenge The Changing Seasons hosted by my dear friend Su from Zimmerbitch!   First of all I want to apologize for having been quite absent from blogging and for not having visited all your wonderful blogs as much as I wanted to.

An Afternoon at the Aquarium

  A couple of weeks ago I spent a lovely afternoon at the Berlin Aquarium which never fails to fascinate me.
