still lifes

- a pine cone in Limenaria (Greece) and an element of a historical settee in Maldaresti (Romania).

furia gri

- this means "the grey fury" and it's the nickname of the car in the background (a Dacia 1300 built in 1972). The picture was taken in Maries on the greek island of Thassos in the summer. We travelled to Greece in the "grey fury".

animals on walls

Some street art from Bucharest and Freiburg.

I'm back

with some puppies I met on the streets of Horezu (Romania). I spent the Easter holidays there. And I will try to blog more frequently again!!

Johnny

This post was inspired by Talon who posted a poem about a corvid yesterday. :) Johnny is a mischievous crow that used to come to our garden in the last months. I think he was brought up by humans and then released to live alone in the wild. Whenever Johnny came around something happened... PS: I'm glad that you liked Johnny :) Unfortunately, he disappeared some weeks ago. I'm still waiting for him to return, because it was always fun to watch him. He's very playful and likes garden tools very much.

Sorry

I'll try to blog more frequently again!!

dog-tired II

I must confess that I took inspiration from Talon for this post (title & picture).
That's a dog I saw in the autumn in Bucharest and it looks like I feel right now. Today is the 5th day that I spend in bed sick from some virus... the fever and the cough don't seem to want to leave me :(

urme

traces on a dusty road in Sulina (so many different kinds of them :)

flying into the sunset

I see these crows flying by every afternoon from my office.

joy

These little ponies were running and jumping around and seemed to enjoy their life a lot. It was such a pleasure to watch them :)

cat in a box

Hirschsprung

Hirschsprung translates as "jump of the stag".
The legend says that a stag escaped a hunter by jumping over the valley (that is called Höllental = hell's valley). Today there is a sculpture of the rock to remember this legend and children of all ages try to see it from the cars and trains passing by :)
