dc #146: Swoon

 From inside the Castle at the Eisenbach we still have not the best view, because of the plastic sheet of that ongoing renovation. But this autumnal light and temperatures outside are such a delight!

 

It makes me swoon... all is so livelily!

 I have drawn this sprite of a rose
on old wrapping paper with charcoal and coloured it with watercolour for this week's drawing challenge. Our host is sweet Tammie and her theme is SWOON
For more please visit her blog.

Wish you an enchanting day!

Schwäne schwärmen

Max Beckmann

dc#145: FISH

...

I somehow like fishes. Watching them calms me. 

And at Fridays I eat them (mostly boneless fillets because my fear to suffocate by fish bones: 
tagliatelle with salmon cream sauce as well lemon grass... even my kids like it)

Aloft you can see my dear friend Julitschka cutting her daughter's hair in front of their aquarium.

My kids were on school trips.
They are back now from the seaside and have washed ashore shells and a stone (no fish, phew:)

For this drawing challenge No. 145 hosted by Sabine of Herzfrisch I alas have not create something new. But I can show you an older work from the 14th drawing challenge, back in April 2011 which is even: Fish

Please make sure to visit Herzfrisch to find more fishes on the net!

I try my very best to take up the thread of the drawing challenge including visiting and commenting. I like the variation of fast contact via fb or instagram, but I miss the depth of the contact via dc with you.

postscript: my favorite lens has broken in May this year. With all the hassle of moving and renovation I couldn't buy a new one and second hand? ui, sounds too risky to me. But I give it a try... and ha! my next-door neighbour had the lens! I am soo happy with this new lens!

dc #144: 2nd Hand

I am fascinated by the light and colours and water... heaven!

maybe I feel extra open minded (it appeals to all senses) because of

the Green Rose Bud Tea of the Art Tea Shop at Lili Nalovi and Jesko Willert's bel Étage

together with sweet Barbara Bee, yesterday... very inspiring!

And: on this occasion her wonderful ring from the fleamarket is now at my finger :-)) thank you so much, dear Barbara! (Du weißt, wo du ihn findest, wenn Du Sehnsucht hast)

We took a 'good-bye' and 'welcome' ring photo of our hands... and suddenly we screamed:

 

"Second Hand! we got it! ahhahahaha!"


For more Second Hands please have a look at dear Joke's spiegel-beeld.blogspot.nl

(The weather is extraordinary beautiful outside, so see you later)

Ausflug

Die Gänse schnattern verwundert,
als meine Arbeitskollegen sich einer nach dem anderen zum Stand Up Paddling auf's Wasser wagen (Ich habe 'Rücken' nach der Umzugs-Arie und genieße stattdessen lieber die Ruhe)

The geese quack amazed
as my work mates one after another venture to do Stand Up Paddling on the water (because of back-pain after the move-aria I enjoy the quiet instead)

und dann fahren wir weiter an die Ostsee

and then we drive on to the Baltic Sea

...


After being at the Seaside I feel refreshed.
There is still a lot to do in the new Castle at the Eisenbach
and outside of it the renovations are going on. But I wanna
go on with this blog and wish to visit you soon
at yours, dear friends!
See you!

Erkenntnisreich

Erkenntnis:

nur das Schöne zu sehen (sehen zu wollen) hindert mich daran,
das Nicht-so-schöne wahrzunehmen oder gar zu verändern.

Awareness:

only to see the beauty (wanna see) hinder me,
to perceive the not-so-beauty 

or even to change.

{Und: jedes Loch, das man in die Wand bohrt,
muss man irgendwann wieder zuspachteln.
And: every hole, that one had drilled in the wall,
have to be spackled.}

Drawing challenge!
