I was intrigued by the colours and markings of this pansy. Not only the purple, yellow and white. But also the two corners of the daughters, and the triangle in the stepmother leaf. Floral Friday and Flower of the Day
Betrayal
Henry the eighth cat of Frederick York lounged in his diamond studded chair (which the staff considered a travesty but nobody asked them). He dictated a carefully worded letter about the declining quality of the local bakery’s mouse pies. Every meow was taken down on Henry’s private stationery before it was burned to ashes by his secretary.

It’s complicated
When I take photos on my phone (incidentally, this one is called Gladys) I need to attach it with a cable to the pc to store it without loss of quality. I store all my photos on the computer and I edit only on the … Continue reading It’s complicated
Of Monsters and Men
Last on my SD car in the camera. You decide who is the monster here.
A sculpture in the foyer of the eye clinic at the Heidelberg university hospital. The last on the SD-Card in my phone. I hope it’s recognisable because when I took it my eyes had those anaesthetic drops in them and I couldn’t focus. By the time I’m preparing this post I still don’t see 100%.
Let’s do this!
“Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference.”

Mr or Mrs Stork?
It’s a free week at Monochrome Madness, i.e. no given theme. I decided to show a few of the storks living around here during summer (I think one of them is here permanently).
I can’t tell whether these storks are male or female. I am not alone in that, there is even a children’s song:
What is prancing through our meadow?
The frock is black and white, the stockings red.
It catches frogs, snap, snap, snap.
And it goes clap, clap, clap.
Will you guess who this is?
You think it’s the long leg stork prancing through our meadow?
The frock is black and white, the stockings red.
It catches frogs, snap, snap, snap.
And it goes clap, clap, clap.
No, no, it’s Mrs Stork!
Nostalgia
We spend the weekend at a little hotel in the middle of the woods and the rooms were light and modern but the staircase was peppered with old relics, like an old sewing machine, stuffed animals (a woodgrouse, a piglet, a stoart), modern art (quite … Continue reading Nostalgia
