Just a small part of where I find my muse, my inspiration.
For One Word Sunday.

What a weekend!

Cropped
This wayside shrine is called Kalter Herrgott (Cold Lord). It is found near the village of Ritschweier in the Odenwald, Germany, on the brow of a hill where cold winds blow.
The barren looks of the fields after the harvest point towards the autumn
even though it is still hot.
With the wind blowing over the stubbles, autumn isn’t far away anymore:
Wenn der Wind über die Stoppelfelder weht, ist der Herbst nicht mehr fern.
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge had an open topic this week. Mine was After the Harvest.

Diving Duck
I am not an accomplished handicraft person but I dabble occasionally, mainly knitting and crocheting, sometimes sewing. Embroidery has never appealed to me greatly but a few years back I came across the concept of “free stitching”. It basically means a mix of stitches and materials.
This picture (the original is 100 by 50 cm) started when I found a piece of mother-of-pearl that was shaped like a beak and at the same time I saw an underwater photo of a bird diving amongst branches and various underwater plants. I took it from there and used beads, seeds, shells, leather, old earrings, ribbons, and whatever I could find. The longer I worked the more creative I got, overlapping buttons, crumpling up material, raiding my jewel case.
I had never before done anything like it, nor did I do something similar afterwards. By the picture holds pride of place in our bedroom.
Nancy at A Photo a Week asked for a photo of something that I am proud of having accomplished.

My horizon
People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the people they ignore at home.

Debbie at Travel with intent gives the quote and an image, and if inspiration strikes there will be more photos here.
Three Roman matrons
The picture of the three matrons is displayed at the Roman villa rustica near Höchst in the Odenwald, Germany.
For One Word Sunday: threesome. More threesomes can be found here.
Get fit, take pictures
An internet find, this is not really mine. I don’t know the original source, I hope it’s okay to show it here. Do you have a favourite position?
Blow, blow, blow your glass …
