I’m a fan of hearts #2
As promised, the second installment of my hearts. This time upright or portrait-stlye.
A gingerbread heart which was made especially for me (I won’t tell you what the RA stands for).
Rainbow love on a sock.
A multicoloured ballon heart.
Somebody saying: “I have a heart for plants.”, or possibly: “Plants sold here.”
A sgraffito heart on a house front.
Wooden deco hearts. In a restaurant where the landlady has gone crazy with deco – this was the least busy window.
” … I don’t have a wooden heart.” – But the people living here obviously do.
Alternatively, you can carry your heart on your board.
Or carve it in stone.
Or scratch it on crayons. And light it.
Two more hearts form the light show, a reddish one and
a purple one.
And last not least, hearts flying up in the sky on the occasion of a wedding (another custom we should be wary of when we think of the environment.)

Hairy fairy
Forget incy-wincy, here comes hairy-fairy! Or possibly, crossy-bossy.

Cold as ice
Since this winter was a total non-event in this corner of the earth (no snow, no ice, a few mornings with a semblage of hoarfrost and that was it) I have to resort to a bit of cheating. Eis in German means ice but also ice cream.
For One Word Sunday: Ice. Icier and possibly colder photos can be found here.
BUT I COULD MURDER A CURRY.
I can’t let that go without an explanation: I am reading Pratchett (again). So when I came upon this photo in my archive this quote from Mort came unbidden. It’s all capitals since it’s DEATH speaking.
For Six Word Saturday.
but first sleep
I’ve used this group before. It’s a sculpture of, I think, eight sleepers. There is space to sit next or opposite them but I don’t think living people can really relax close to them.
This is part of a group depicting the night in the garden Gethsemane when all the disciples fell asleep while Jesus prayed.
The way animals sleep, one can only be envious.
And what do turtles dream of?
Cats of course, are champion sleepers. This one slept next to a busy road and had made this flower pot his own. A potted cat, so to speak.
It doesn’t look comfortable but it must be – at the moment this is our cats favourite place for a snooze.
And this picture is – for me – pure bliss. Falling asleep while reading a book … without the dummy, for preference though.
For A Photo a Week: Sleeping.
Riding the waves
Another beguiling illusion from our visit to the illuminated Luisenpark in Mannheim. This little tri-cyclist was slightly apprehensive before he ventured out on the brickwalk with his little mean machine but then he had a lot of fun.
And it was almost monochrome by itself.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Bicycles, Tricycles and Motorcycles. More two- or three-wheelers can be found here.
It works both ways
In both cases, I’m not sure who was cheered up more.

Taken by a trip
