I can’t wait for these peonies to bloom.
I wish they could be grown on balconies, but their roots are too deep for planting them in pots.

A little snail 🐌 on a wildflower.
I just love when my early morning dog walks have these whimsical moments.

Happy May Day, everyone.

These lovely lilies of the valley began to bloom just at the perfect time: The German name for them, Maiglöckchen, translates to "little May bells”.

On last night’s dog walk we spotted a beautiful heron wading through a brook. It seemed entirely unperturbed by multiple people and dogs out for their evening stroll.

It’s still quite cold but I couldn’t help myself: I just had to add some hardy early bloomers to my balcony garden. Can’t wait for these irises to bloom.

Isn’t this a gorgeous old farmhouse?

Arboretum Ellerhoop in northern Germany is well worth a visit.

Photo taken in early October.

In my halloween-y daydreams, this is my witchy little cottage where I brew up some magical potions. 🧙‍♀️

In reality, it’s a little slightly run-down but cute place I just walk past on my dog walks. 😅
