It’s never too late
I never played with Barbie dolls much when I was little and to be honest, I never much liked them. But I bought one as an Easter present for a little girl and I have been making clothes and jewellery for her this last week – I learned new ways to apply old skills.
Before wrapping her and her belongings I have started to take photos of her – and I am learning about staging and lighting and field of focus. Here are the first of hopefully a few more photos of her. Some more learning ahead and I have to do it in the next few days.

Not the Oktoberfest
This is one from the archive – the vast empty space in the forefront is the place where each year the world’s largest beer festival, the Münchner Oktoberfest, has been held since 1810 – with the exceptions of wartimes and pandemics.

I Marched Through the Vineyards
”It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold, when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.” Charles Dickens
I was walking (not marching, sorry for the pun) through the vineyards a couple of days ago and it was exactly as Dickens described it. The trees are still bare, the vines haven’t started to sprout yet but the forsythia is already in bloom. The sun was out but I was glad I still wore my winter coat against the cold wind.

The Big Dangers
But small animals can be dangerous, too. The oak processionary moth has become prevalent in many areas in Germany were it was previously unknown, now there are often signs found on trees to warn of them. The signs have become permanent, they don’t bother to take them down in winter anymore.
