Many things.

Many things. Different things. Birthdays, cats on haystacks and yellow hooved horses. Cycling adventures in Berlin. Beautiful and crazy weather. Some bedroom gardening news. Headstands in the park. And CHIVES!

-I've never put up a black and white photo on here, but this one of a cat on a haystack really works.

- Vast fields of dandelions. There were horses walking around in here and the white ones had yellow legs and yellow noses, from the dandelions!

- A couple of weeks ago we went on a 44 km bike ride through Berlin! However, we didn't make it far before having to eat our picnic...at Tempelhof!

- All of the petals were falling from blossomed trees! And the wind was carrying them quite far! It looked magical.

 - We explored a park that we've never been to...Volkspark Wilmersdorf, and oh my was it beautiful! And BIG! And GREEN! And afterwards we cycled to Krumme Lanke and jumped in the lake! Our first dip of the season!

- My favourite cycling companion living on the wild side!

- There were some beautiful mornings caught right outside my house.

- As well as some crazy ass storms.

- In some gardening news! My basil is growing from seed and looking healthy!

 - And my aubergine is flowering!

- Look! It opened up even more! I had to put a filter on this picture because it was too dark without! Ahh all the crazy patterns in the background!

- Let me throw in a headstand picture. I'm really getting the hang of them. Super proud!

- And last, but not least, here are some blossoming chives on Allmende Kontor on Tempelhof.

Happy May!

HAPPY MAYDAY!
This little blog post contains some pictures that I found pretty. Some are taken at the kindergarten I work at, on walking and cycling adventures as well as at home. By the way, I can't believe it's May already! Soon it'll be nice and warm and lake swimming time and all the happy good mooded people will start coming out of their homes and smiling on the street and cycling and swimming and sun cream and sun and vegetables and pizza and juice and ice cream!! Got a little carried away there...let's get on with this show.

- Baby sunflowers and baby corn that I planted with my kindergarten class!

 - A magnolia tree in twilight.

- Luscious grass down by the canal.

- Them baby sunflowers and baby corn have grown!!
 
- Cycling day picnic! Yes please! Recharging in a field with these little purple flowers! What are they? Can anyone tell me?

- Berlin never ceases to surprise me! We stumbled upon this "waterfall" in Victoria Park! You will be transported to another world, YOU MUST GO!

- An oasis in blossom in Victoria Park.

- Magnificent cherry tree blossoms on a street in Kreuzberg.

- My new plant is basically a pet! It looks like a fern but in fact it is a mimosa pudica! No, not the drink! When you touch its leaves they fold up. I strongly urge everyone to get one!

- This is what it looks like when you touch ALL of it! At night time my little mimosa sleeps by folding all of its leaves! Just like we do!

- Look at these bastards! Baby sunflowers and corn are not so baby anymore! Check out hose peas and kohlrabi as well! I am really looking forward to planting all these little babes in the soil soon! This is my favourite windowsill at work right now!

- So, this is a picture of one of my plant pots at home. Apparently I am growing mushrooms next to my cone flowers. Who knew?!

 - Let's finish off with one of my prints. I haven't posted any of my creations in a long time. Gotta love me a beetle with lots of antennae. Give it up for the cedar beetle! Rubber print on paper.

 Thanks for reading! Hope that spring springs up for everyone finally!
