Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.

Seeing – Sehen

Sehen (seeing in German) was printed the wrong way round on the stairs in a school for children with speech problems.  The cat observed me from her hiding place amongst some greenery.  And the rest – are eyes, from a light installation (mirrored in a lake), from colourful garden ornaments, and from a stark and simple attempt at graffiti.  And I almost forgot: from a cooky monster hiding in my bed.

Topiary

I liked the idea of topiary but had no photo on file.  But then I found this in a front yard in the neighbourhood.  It’s a … a twisted … it’s a twisted, trained, long something.  Because of the long form I had to kind of cheat.

Going around in circles

I walk a lot these days, with or without my camera, in a fairly small radius around our home. Hohensachsen is okay, Frankfurt and Heidelberg already too far.

There are other folks on the paths and we sidestep each other, making sure we keep the advocated distance.

I droop my head and come across messages to lift my spirits.

Bleibt gesund

Stay healthy!

Lepidoptophobia – the fear of flying insects.

It will (probably) be my last look to phobias but for anybody who wants to look into phobias I can offer:

  • chiroptophobia = fear of bats
  • gatopardophobia = fear of cheetahs
  • mephitophobia = fear of skunks
  • onomatophobia =fear of names
  • autophobia = fear of being alone
  • dentophobia = fear of dentists
  • domatophobia = fear of houses
  • nyctophobia = fear of the dark
  • octophobia = fear of the figure 8

This is my twentieth square for Becky’s April Square Challenge.
