    November: Art is dead!

    Long live art! Ach, dieses Grau! Diese Trostlosigkeit! Können wir diese Jahreszeit vielleicht überspringen? 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.

  • 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.

  • The metamorphosis

    Caterpillar and butterfly are actually one and the same thing However, they undergo a metamorphosis that changes their appearance so colossally that it seems incredible to have an individual in front of you all the time.

  • 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…

  • Cranes and moths

    Let me introduce you to an extraordinary pair of artists. To be honest, it’s once again about the very last remnants Do you still have box trees in your garden? That’s no longer a matter of course these days. A small moth called the European Box Borer has already eaten a large part of the…
