Time for a serene and peaceful winter walk along the bright river
Elbe with its frosty edges and wide open sky about this beautiful scene.
Study the past, if you would divine the future.

I'm deeply infected with painting undersea animals in watercolor and so the decision was clear, we'll visit
SEALIFE, Hannover. It was such a wonderful and touching experience and with a lot of lovely models to paint later at my studio. I took zillions of photos (not so easy with the less light inside) and had a fantastic Café moment for finishing this wonderful day.

And we'd there a very special adventure with three cute kitten -->

Best month to enjoy all this work done at our garden is June, all the roses (and there are a lot of roses at our garden) are in full bloom - every year again it's absolutely breathtaking and I feel so blessed for this chance in life to plan a garden by myself and to enjoy all its ups and downs. Our cottage garden is now 15 years old and looks exactly like in my dreams.

Summer in Lower Saxony means living outdoor as much as we can. I love these long evenings when the sun won't leave us.

Next in this series was a visit at Freiburg, Breisgau - South Germany with a stopping by at Alsace, France. I'd lived there 30 years ago and it was deeply touching to revisit these lovely city and region. One of my gorgeous memories are the wonderful moments on the daily farmers market Munsterplatz, around the Cathedral of Freiburg.
