Happy Easter 2020

The first Easter I celebrate without friends. But safety first. I don’t want to be infected with the virus or vice versa.
I hope that these bad days are soon over.
So despite everything, have a nice Easter. Stay healthy.

I took these photos in the park.

I know that there are areas where you are not allowed to leave the house to go to the park or somewhere else.

For all those who could not buy Easter cards or why ever, if you like one or the other photo, you are welcome to use it
❤ ❤ ❤

Start of Spring 2020

I don’t know when I can take pictures in the park again.

Normally I walk at least 5 miles every day after work. On weekends up to 20 miles a day.
This won’t work for a while and is something I will miss very much.

But today I show you some photos I took in my favourite park

There’s still beauty out there

In times like the lockdown all over the world, there are still beautiful things out there.

Be it the video from Italy, which shows “we stick together. We care and take care of others” or video church services for all those who have to stay at home or also the offers to old people to go shopping for them, to chat with them via Skype so that they are not so lonely.

It shows again and again that even in bad times humanity counts, how important it is for each other. That fear must not take that away from us!

I can’t help much, but I can show that there is a new beginning out there. Everywhere, even on my way to the supermarket, the signs of spring appear.

With my pictures I hope to bring nature into the home of those who cannot go outside

❤ ❤ ❤

The weather can’t decide

Okay, according to the calendar, it’s winter. But while walking in the park at the weekend I already found the first flowers.

It was so cold outside!

Especially because I had forgotten my gloves at home and was wearing the wrong shoes. I should have looked at the thermometer before I went out, but the whole week before it was so warm outside that I didn’t even think about it.

I am actually too old for such stupid mistakes 😀

As someone with many plant allergies and asthma, I cannot have flowers or plants at home.
But when I find them in nature, I can enjoy them and find them beautiful.

I’m always so happy when I discover the first flowers. There are not many yet, but still a sign that it may not be long before spring comes.

Here the ONLY bush in the whole park that already had blossoms.

A few more hours or maybe days with sunshine and the daffodils are in full bloom

Here you can see how cold it was that weekend. Behind the ducks you can see that there is a layer of ice on the water.

Beautiful Springtime – Photos

Finally it’s time again. You can throw your winter coat and thick sweater behind you and enjoy the sun and nature.

Of course don’t forget the camera and photograph the colours of spring.

I love fabric panel – today spring

In my last post, I showed a T-shirt with a dinosaur panel.

I have loved fabric panels since I discovered them a year and a half ago.

The panels for the door or also for the wall are made so fast and so simple. Meanwhile I make them in less than an hour hihi.

There you can see how many I made and gave away.

Most of the ones I sewed were with winter or christmas motives.

This is the second one I made for a colleague. Unfortunately, I forgot to photograph the first panel. She chose the panel and I sewed it.

I think this one with the cherry blossoms is beautiful, but it would not suit my interior.

Spring Panel 02

The panel is not crooked as in the photo. I only used 2 hangers to hang it up, but there are 3 sewn hangers on the panel. So it fits and looks even 🙂

For all who also want to sew a panel, definitely take Vylene for inside. Then the panel is much more beautiful and not so thin.

 

Say hello to spring (photos)

This winter was damn long and cold!

Until two weeks ago I left the house in a warm winter jacket.

And it was 77 degrees today.

Yesterday I drove past my favourite park and saw that everything was colourful.

A good reason to take the camera and take pictures on a sunny day.

I’m about to start with my favorite flowers: Daisies 😀

Spring 2018-01

The next two photos look like I changed the color. But the tulip field really looked like this!
Many other visitors of the park took pictures with their mobile phones because the colours red, yellow, orange were simply amazing.

I don’t know what kind of tree it is. But some of the trees with pink flowers are in the park and you can see the pink from afar.

That dandelion reminded me of my childhood. After school, I used to pick dandelion for my hamsters in the meadow.

Spring – Finally !!! Photos

I waited so long for the end of winter and spring to start 🙂

Finally its spring time and as every year I went to my favorite park to make photos.

I had to wait a few sunny days for for all those flowers. One week ago there has been only few flowers in my park. Not enough to make photos.

But now beautyful flowers are everywhere

How a duckling found a Star – A Photo Story

Like every spring I went on  a duckling hunt with my camera. I just love these cuties ❤

But just showing the photos is a little boring.

I decided to write a little story with my photos 🙂

Besides the star I added and cutting the photos I didnt change them. The animals really made this “faces” LOL . This photos longed for a story

_MG_8817

Meet duckling Belle and her brothers

_MG_8843

One day Belle’s brothers tried to play a trick with their baby sister. They told her a star has fallen into their pool last night.

_MG_8866

A STAR? Really?” Belle asked excited and went to the pool. She wanted to see the star.

_MG_8990

Maybe the water was too dirty or it was a really small star Belle couldnt see the star and jumped in the pool.

_MG_8886 

Lets see how long she will look for the non-existing star” said one of her brothers and they went after Belle

_MG_8834

Two of her brothers loughed so hard they couldnt even stay anymore.

_MG_9049

Poor Belle swum the pool one – two – three times but couldnt find the star.

She even asked her neighbor.

A star? In our pool?” asked Duck Smitty.

_MG_8738

_MG_8766

She and her babies searched the pool too.

_MG_9058

When Belle lost all hope to find the star and startet to get out of the pool she saw something sparkled in the water.

_MG_9159

Belle dove to the bottom of the pool and there it was: her STAR

This little star has seen how sad Belle has been and went to earth to help her

_MG_9034-1

Belle was so proud to have found the star. She swum around the pool to show everyone her star

_MG_9010

Her brothers couldnt believe what they have seen and  jumped in the pool to find a star of their own.

_MG_9201

Belle never managed to get out of the pool with one try only. But now with the star she could jump high like never before.

_MG_9202

_MG_9199

Belle’s brothers were not this lucky. They didnt even had enough energy to get right out of the pool.

_MG_8898

 And Daddy’s dressing down  finished them off.

_MG_8786

Duck Smitty’s babies were so tired after searchung the star for Belle they tried to sleep in the pool.

_MG_8759

 But her Mom put them right there were sleepy babies has to be – out of the water and close to Mom and Dad.

_MG_9101

Belle  walked around with her star for all to see and was the happiest duck on earth.

End of Belle’s story!
