    ✨December✨Magic✨

    – the light in the dark time When the days get shorter and it doesn’t really want to get light on some days, a space emerges that no other month creates: an in-between place full of memories, longings and small wonders. December has its very own magic. This time carries a special weight. The days…

  • November: Art is dead!

    November: Art is dead!

    Long live art! Oh, this gray! This desolation! Can we perhaps skip this season? Every year it comes back to me without me having ordered it – this miserable wet, this drizzly weather. Nature is dying before our very eyes. It doesn’t help to look away. Anyone who didn’t make it to the sunny south…

  • And my soul spreads its wings wide

    And my soul spreads its wings wide

    The last warm rays of sunshine make the dragonflies dance – and my heart skip a beat Dragonflies have a short life and sometimes I find the remains of one of these fairy-like creatures.

  • Art? All banana!

    Art? All banana!

    Art – The definition Is sticking a banana on the wall still art? Or: what actually makes Salvador Dali famous? And why does everyone love Mona Lisa? I am sure of it: that it takes courage, wit, timing and the right location to create an impressive work from a rotting banana – some works live…

  • The metamorphosis

    The metamorphosis

    Caterpillar and butterfly are actually one and the same thing However, every individual undergoes a metamorphosis in their lifetime that changes their appearance so colossally that it seems unbelievable to have one and the same being in front of you all the time. Sounds kind of human, doesn’t it? After all, from birth to old…

  • Room for new bird species!

    Room for new bird species!

    It’s slowly getting a little tight – The bird perch is just 11 cm long and about 2 mm thick. How many birds fit on such a tiny bird perch? I was able to fit nine extremely rare bird species next to each other. Two more are still trying to get a perch. I had…
