out of the white these small trees are growing supported by the helping stakes in the middle of the forest. in some places nature needs our affirming devotion, as well as we are sometimes dependent on a refreshment by the pure and clear mother nature.

nila's white socks are only one, obvious display of her overall correctness. posture, expression, sequence of movements: simply everything points to her pride.

currently we are chilled through by the returned winter's cold again. related to the vastness of our lake constance or an unwavering monument at the lakeside humans appear only unimportant and tiny again. additionally the constrained perception of our monochromatic, white surrounding amplifies this effect. that's the way i often look on our world and that hasn't hurt me yet.

being home alone isn't easy for me, especially not if the affected span is longer than a few days. better being distracted by tina's attendance than being driven to distraction because of absolute loneliness. any way, tina causes T-istraction, even if she isn't at our place.

today i like to give away something: my grandpa has no need for this brand-new model of a former, east german truck 'ifa h6 kipper'. so if there are any collectors of historic stuff between my readers, please don't hesitate to write me an email or comment below this post - i'll send you the miniature replica of this historic art of engineering from the gdr for free.

the most significant comments below philipp poisel's music videos are definitely the foreign ones: 'i've no f***ing idea what this guy is singing about, but he's freakin' awesome'. see it for yourself and feel free to judge afterwards: without understanding the language, what do you thing, what might he sing about?

why has there always to be at least one maverick in our society? does the majority need the strange guy to feel better? actually we are all birds of a feather, painted with the same, blue colour.

although their names might sound eatable, some natural grown items shouldn't be eaten by humans: there were more than enough beefsteak fungus today in the forest to put me into the hospital, decorated with a bit of snow. maybe some forest animals are chuffed about their crispness, i for one delighted in the nice shapes and structures.

unfortunately our great yard community is breaking up currently. a very nice couple has made the beginning with their moving out a few days ago, and highly likely another one will follow in not too distant future.

by the looks of things they left behind one purple carnation... and sadness in our minds that our togetherness has come to an end now. we wish you the best of luck at your new place.

a large part of the ballet performance of compañía nacional de danza reminded me of one of the most beautiful videos on vimeo: murmuration.

the dancers were correlating almost as good as the thousands of starlings in the video. nevertheless every once in a while the majority of the players came to rest and only the main actors were performing their part of this modern drama.
