Blossoms 5

It is very hot and sunny today - summer feeling. Every morning these lovely flowers greet me on my balcony. They are called sea thrift (Armeria maritima ssp purpurea) and don´t need a lot of care. They can even be kept in their regular planters over the winter. They start to bloom in April or May until the middle of June. After a small break they start blooming again by the end of August or the beginning of September. Every two years I divide them and give half of them to people who need fresh plants for their gardens or balconies. I like the idea that sea thrift coming from my balcony spreads out all over Germany.

Spring is almost over. A last picture of a blooming cherry tree to say good-bye to a cold and wet spring. Nevertheless, as always I was overwhelmed by all the flowers that appeared all of a sudden. I think I could never live in a country where it is always summer. I would definitely miss the change of seasons.

Another grey spring day. Who switched off the sun? It doesn´t help to complain, though. Make the best of it and have a look at a warm and sunny photo of dandelions. Although most people would say that dandelions are a nuisance I really like them. First they show a brilliant yellow flower which then converts into a delicate, feathery, white ball. What more can you expect?

Today it is almost as cold and rainy as it was during my weekend in the countryside. While I am writing this, dark, grey clouds block the sun light and it looks more like autumn than spring. Quite depressing. But I simply know that the weather will get better - after all, it´s May and not November.

Enough of dark undercrossings. It is time to celebrate spring, green leaves and blossoms. I spent a weekend in the country side. Although it had been cold, windy and cloudy I ignored the weather and took photographs anyway. The sun might be missing in these pictures, but the blossoms put up a brave front.

Undercrossings 4

Undercrossings can be quite inspiring. I tried the multiple exposure button on my camera and played with it to create new spaces that only exit as a photo. And I wasn´t afraid to turn the picture upside down because I liked it much more that way. Creepy result, isn´t it?

Undercrossings 3

This is an undercrossing with an exceptionally low ceiling. However, I like the tiles. Their colour is cleaming in shades from turquoise to green to violette and pink. Really nice. I took a series of photos in the evening. As this undercrossing is also the entrance to a subway station quite a few people crossed my way. They were all weary with working all day and quite bad-tempered. For them I was just a nuisance blocking their way into leisure time. I don´t blame them - it was Monday evening and almost the whole, tiring working week lay still before them.
