New York City Feelings, 11 - Springtime

 .

Spring in New York City ( -> for more of my NYC posts,) is a very special thing. The air is full of promises, possibilities, spring flower scent, and the joy of life. The window reflections are even brighter, the Hudson River more blue and one believes that life is truly wonderful at this moment. 

"This morning I wake to the blue-white light of an approaching spring in New York: the kind of light that promises it will not be this cold forever."

Southern Corners 32 - Island Fuerteventura

  “While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.”

– Dorothea Lange

These impressions are taken in 2019 during our last visit to Fuerteventura, Canary Islands - Spain. I can't wait to visit this gorgeous spot again.

Mein Norden - Haus im Schnee

 

 

Es gibt sie wohl nicht mehr geben hier in unserer Region in Niedersachsen, Norddeutschland, die Winter mit Eis und Schnee und die Kinder von morgen werden es für ein Märchen halten, von Schwärmereien der Alten, so wie es immer ist, wenn etwas einfach verschwindet aus unserer Welt. Gut kniehohen Schnee und das monatelang kenne ich nur noch aus meiner Kindheit in den 60er Jahren. Was war das für eine Freude, wenn wir auf dem zugefrorenen Wiesen Schlittschuh gelaufen sind, oder in den unseren herrlich hügeligen Buchwäldern gerodelt haben, bis die Dunkelheit uns zwang nach Hause zu gehen. Patschnass, durchgefroren und überglücklich. 

Schnee 

Schnee, zärtliches Grüßen

der Engel,

schwebe, sinke –

breit alles in Schweigen

und Vergessenheit!

Gibt es noch Böses,

wo Schnee liegt?

Verhüllt, verfernt er nicht

alles zu Nahe und Harte

mit seiner beschwichtigenden

Weichheit, und dämpft selbst

die Schritte des Lautesten

in leise?

Schnee, zärtliches Grüßen

der Engel,

den Menschen, den Tieren! –

Weißeste Feier

der Abgeschiedenheit.

Francisca Stoecklin, 1894 - 1931

Study the past - 2022

  

Another year living with travel restrictions and threat from the Corona virus, but life goes on and we had some gorgeous locations to visit in Germany too. I hope you enjoy this review as much I do. 

- January 2022

Making long relaxing walks during Winter is so important and we enjoy the calm and peaceful nature around us. 

 

Study the past, if you would divine the future.

- February 2022

We've discovered a new secret tip for peaceful winter walks surrounded by awesome nature very close to us. A paradise for a lot of animals and we were so lucky that we could observe a large group of cranes there. 

- March 2022

Spontaneous short tip to an unknown island (for us!). We had some awesome lovely days on Borkum,   located in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea. 

- April 2022


After a bad start with Corona into April and that although we were completely vaccinated, we enjoyed finally Springtime at our garden. 

- Mai 2022

At the end of May we started our travel to the South of Germany and we enjoyed several stops during this journey. This is Naumburg, a very beautiful old town on our way. 

- June 2022

We had an amazing beautiful time at Bad Wiessee, Tegernsee - Bavaria, South Germany. 

- Juli 2022

Living at the edge of our small village has always been so very beautiful and we enjoy it even more during these special times. 

- August 2022

The sea was calling and we couldn't resist to spent a long weekend at our favorite spot St. Peter-Ording, North sea. 

- September 2022

Early Autumn brought us a surprising group of guests in our garden. I was very lucky to be able to film them and that's why I want to show you these cuties.

- October 2022

Another wonderful spot near to us is the Museum village Hoesseringen with its impressive ensemble of a large group of old, really old farmhouses from the last 400 years. 

- November 2022

November brought us breathtaking color into our garden. 

- December 22

Decorating house and garden for the the festive end of the year is one of my favorite things to do. 

Despite the still-threatening pandemic and all its consequences and rules, we are vaccinated four times. I'm so grateful for this marvelous year full of unforgettable moments and I hope that you enjoy this review as much as I do. 

All my best wishes to 2023 dear friends. Thanks for your continuing interest, support and wonderful comments and inspiration. 

Hugs and Kisses

your isabella
