In the heat - looking forward to our summergathering 2018!

At Sunday, as I come into the kitchen,
a big heat wish me a good morning. These bloom!

Pink with some fresh squeeze of turquoise in addition

In the other room, the salon, of the Castle at the Eisenbach
I found a new arrangement with some tones/props of Summer

and later I found time

to read my book (moon glow by Michael Chabon)
on the balcony besides more lilies
til the moon rose

The other night

the pink lilies and gladiolas found their way
from the kitchen to the balcony, too:
Sleeping with windows wide open
they let my dreams become more aromatical

I hope you're having a good time.
Only four three two one days to go til our summergathering 2018,
this time in Geraardsbergen, again, yay!

Love, Ariane.

Night and Day

Nacht und Tag

Night and Day

I've missed the Venus beeing very close to the waxing moon
after our eve in the cinema {Ocean's Eight}. Mars in oppostion.
It will be a hot day today. The sun, majesty.

Heavenly | fire and water

Finally the rain comes and spend some water for all the plants,
the thirsty trees and flowers, even those on my balcony of the Castle a

It has rained all night long

{very relaxing sound, that attends my dreams}

but yesterday at eve

as the swallows flew high

I've awaited the Mars to rise next to the tv tower

and he come, about 23:20h (CEST)

Good to recognize 'cause of the deep orange colour,
but much smaller than the moon

... and I breathed

{blurry} Mars

You can find him, too,
in the East/South of the sky at night

outside, on the balcony {at morning, again}

inside, in the kitchen {windowsill}

Do you remember this photo of my last post?

I took this stem of a lupine with their seedvessels

for my big bouquet of flowers from the garden of Isolde.

I can tell ya, they throw their seeds with high speed!

I collect the seeds in a cup with the calligraphy by Sandra from the art of confusion

and after a slow breakfast with J I have to go to work now...

fb reminds me here on my early œuvre, analogue photos with macro.
I think, it's still my favorite kind of painting with light. What do you think about the art of taking photographs:
frame the reality? or taking an image of another world?
Would love to hear your view

Love,

Ariane. Rose
