Himbeeren / Raspberries

Nachdenklich betrachtet die Königin von der Burg am Eisenbach die frische Ernte.

 Malina. 

Das slawisches Wort für Himbeere. Und der Name meiner Nichte, fast süße 16.

Meditative the Queen of the Castle at the Eisenbach looks at the fresh harvest. 

Malina.

The slavic word for raspberries. And the name of my niece, nearly sweet 16.

Paris: de Flore and Musée

back home.

But my mind is still in Paris (my sister and niece will fly to Montréal only this Friday)

We've celebrated the '18th Canada birthday' of my sister with a huge Éclair with
green woodruff topping.

I am in Hamburg again... still a little sad.

Paris: Art, de la Bastille

 Wir verbringen einen wundervollen Abend in der Nähe vom Platz der Bastille mit Gesprächen, Kunstwerke tauschen und Leckereien bei Monique Hebre, Performancekünstlerin.

We spent a wonderful eve close to the Place de la Bastille with conversation, artwork swap and dainties at Monique Hebre, performance artist.

Paris: Montmartre, Sacré-Cœur

Bei großer Hitze erklimmen wir die Stufen zum Sacré-Cœur und genießen den Ausblick.

At intense heat we climbs the stairs to Sacré-Cœur and enjoys the perspective.

Im Seidenbaum singt uns der Spatz von Paris ein erfrischendes Lied, 

bevor wir später in die Nacht verschwinden.

In the pink siris sings us the sparrow of Paris a refreshing air 

before we vanishes into the night later.

Paris: das Treffen/the meeting

Wir flogen durch die Lüfte von Ost und von West

 Am Himmelskreuz sind wir dann gelandet.
 

We flew from the East and from the West through the airs

At the heavens cross we have landed then.

Notre Dame de Paris

Seht: genau im farbigen Licht sind meine Schwester und Nichte zu sehen,

 als sie zwischen den Leuten auf mich zu rennen...

Kurz danach schon fallen wir uns in die Arme

Look: close in the coloured light are seen my sister and niece right in the moment when they run through the people to me...

Shortly thereafter already we warmly embraces us

genau in der Mitte... am Nabel von Paris.

right in the center... at the hub of Paris.

dc CIRCUS/CARNEVALE

Right as the tightrope walker trains for her difficult exercise

eschewed the horse because of the roaring lion.

The horsewoman milks the situation to disappear... maybe together with the clown?

I  just arrived from Paris...

So I haven't got time enough to make something by my own for this week's drawing challenge with the fabulous theme of Helen: CIRCUS/CARNEVALE.
I've just took pictures from this sweet circus... right before they fold up their tents and will find another place to play...

Free the stage for more showings at Helen's exciting place!
