Savage garden

Last weekend was surprisingly hot and Easter holiday as well. Thus, I spent the time with my family and in my home town. We have a huge garden with heaps of apple trees which were in flower at the moment: perfect weather and scenery to make some photos with my camera. By spending more and more time taking picture of the blossoms, I recognized all the different bugs, bees and ants hiding or working in the flowers. Here are some of my favorite macro shots!

29 - No.1

Suddenly, I am one year older again. Every year, I try to find a special place for a family brunch. This year, I decided for a very cozy café nearby where you can eat various bagels, soups and cakes. Everything is absolutely delicious, the staff is great and the atmosphere is just relaxing. We had the entire living room for us and our buffet was presented around the chimney on several small coffee tables.  Thus, we were sitting in old fashioned armchairs, ate way too much and let the time go by. Great way to start my new year! Check out: wahrhaft nahrhaft

Sanssouci (2)

Sanssouci (1)

Yesterday, I used the really nice summer weather to show two friends from Finland the castle Sanssouci in Potsdam. I really like it in every season because the scenery looks different each time. It is so relaxing to walk around the park and discover all the unique views, palaces and pavilions in baroque style, Mediterranean and Asian influence as well…kind of fusion architecture! The entire property was actually made for one reason: pleasure!  As its name says: Sans souci – don’t worry…be happy! The absolute right attitude for me.
