Hey, spring!

Remember the weed I took into the house the other day?
Here's a close-up. Those fine hairs amaze me.


Meanwhile the nature has start to bloom everywhere, in-
and outside the house. I picked these flowers from the
garden.


And the hoya bella started really early this year. I hope,
the flowers will last longer than last year.


The (sun)light in the past days really helps the early blooming
everywhere. Hey, spring!

patterns

I haven't been in town just for fun for ages. So yesterday
I took my camera, went to the older part of the city and
took pictures, with patterns and textures in mind.

My first stop was Münster, the cathedral.











Later, I strolled around between the houses.









At home I saw the weeds are already all over the places
again, awake from the winter sleep. I took this one to be
a model for my drawing.

I got this maneki neko last month from a friend. She brought
it from Japan - her homeland - and said, it should bring me
luck.



I'm glad her family in Japan is fine. And so far everyone I
know are okay as well. Sending my thoughts to those in Japan.
I hope, no bigger catastrophe is coming.

If you care to help, you could donate through Paypal without
any percent cut. Etsy seems to hinder a fundraising shop this
time :(

savoy

I bought a savoy some days ago. Since my fridge was
already full, I put it in my cold loggia. Bad decision,
since I soon forgot about it. Yesterday I found it dried
already. Not longer good for cooking, but still great to
get photographed. I love the textures of savoy.
