nature love

the view from my window

 flat crown - albizia adianthifolia

in full bloom, the smell is deliciously intoxicating

spring has arrived

we are still waiting for rain...  

Seasons

i drooled over the flower market in Austria. 

spring flowers are my favorite, 

so fresh, so colorful and full of hope, i could have bought them all! 

european spring, my favorite season! 

now i'm back in autumn, and it's beautiful too...

and my brain is slightly confused. 

 Happy Easter, Joyeuses Pâques

beautiful people! 

Purple

i know the jacarandas are not indigenous 

to South Africa 

and not really popular anymore for that reason 

but i find their spring "purpleness" breathtaking! 

Beach walk

moody September weather

Spring

yesterday was Spring Day here

and the garden is showing signs of it. 

but because our season changes are not radical 

there is still some decay happening too... 

Trip...

photo via

we are off to some mysterious destination for a few days! 

see you back here soon ;) 

Scheming...

ok,  a few excuses: 

it's almost spring time,

i've been working hard, 

 i need it, 

it's the perfect shape, 

perfect color...

on and on and on! 

 the truth is i cannot resist 

Skinny laMinx's Pinny Apron any LONGER! 

and while i'm at it i might just add this 

gorgeous Alexander Sack! 

Garden wonder

this bush is growing in

my garden.

beautiful dark green leaves the whole year

and suddenly...

it is full of these gorgeous, beautifully scented

little white flowers!

The beautiful world we live in...

look what i found in

the forest the other day!

in the middle of all the greenery

these colorful and majestic

blood lilies

Rain...

this is what it looks like outside

my window since yesterday...

this just happened on our coast...

it's too windy for a fire and i've just smoked the whole house up...

so i'm doodling some spring ;)

Sunshine

Today the weather was just too beautiful to stay inside... had to move my studio outdoors! Spring is coming soon...
