The title is the last line from a poem (or rather a version of the poem) by the Swiss poet Conrad Ferdinand Meyer: “and all is flow and all is halt”.

Since I’m not an out-and-out fan of pink I will approach the colour tentatively:

Foxglove is another flower who could go either way in the pink or purple range:

What a lovely place to sit in the garden (until the cherries ripen and they start dropping down and leaving stains).

You don’t have to sit on a bench, you know.

And some benches I don’t want to sit on (btw that’s a bench on an autobahn rest area, i.e. the large garbage can is necessary, I guess).

And last not least a dedicated bench for pensioners who need a rest during shopping.

I’ve taken to carry my Corona-Man toy figurines along to make outings more fun – even if it is just going to the shops. At home I couldn’t find such a picturesque puddle to play with reflections.
I find other settings for them as well. And since I have my camera with me anyway, more fun finds:

This one didn’t want to pose with Corona-Man. I can’t blame him/her/it.

“Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.”
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

20 years ago, the school held a millennium parade. The children had to dress up as figures from history.
Martin Luther King and Madiba Nelson Mandela were present.
Freedom seemed so close then.
