The Cosmic Photo Challenge: House Plants

On Friday I went out to photograph the first spring flowers. When I saw your cosmic prompt I thought: “Ugh. Winter. What is winter?!”
On Saturday we woke up to this:
Winter. Ach so. That’s what he meant.

No editing was needed for this reflection photo (except a bit of cropping).


Single reflection and double reflections.

With a push and a tug.
Up in the air, still being pulled.
The world starts transforming.
2023 – here I come!

Because it’s not quite over yet, no photo editing just a few photos I took during the last couple of days to show what we did.
Of course, there is a tree with all the ornaments, some of them edible.
We had a Christmas food, all of it edible, and some decorations.
We had our presents on the night of Christmas Eve, as is traditional in Germany, and we played with our new toys.
On Christmas Day, we went for a walk in near spring conditions. We were greeted most graciously.
We even made new friends while we were out.
The rest we’ll keep under wraps.

This week’s Cosmic prompt is “The Big Freeze” – well, it ain’t here yet in our parts.
That was Saturday.

It was so grey yesterday, I thought I needed to get some colour in my pictures and in my soul.




The location was in Wiesbaden in front of the Russian-orthodox church on the Neroberg, one of the hills that the capital of Hesse is built on.




“Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.”
Wassily Kandinsky




The church, the view over Wiesbaden, the foresters’ machine at the back and the woods where we came towards the site.
