A41, taken during a quick grocery run. You need cheese to make pizza, duh.

The K in coworking is right next to my desk. Very productive morning today. Spent the afternoon outside with the kids. Suvi had her first school visit. Slowly but surely she's starting to get excited.

More planting – this time in our backyard. (Got some surplus sunflowers yesterday.)

Garden party at kindergarten. Lots of helpers to do some planting, paint benches and play houses, hang out and eat together.

Hammocks and ice cream. I love that we are at a point where the children just go outside on their own with the neighbor kids and hang out. (Literally 😂)
Also: Hi, to the guy I talked to briefly earlier about Leicas. Totally forgot to ask your name! Say hello if you read this! 😊

Nice evening walk. Really liked the wispy (Cirrus?) clouds.

Out early today to avoid the upcoming heat. I guess the pony appreciated the timely visit – I assume he's not a fan of the high temperatures either.

Visited Villa Hügel with Daniel today. We thought: A park with lots of trees might work in these harsh (as in way too hot) weather conditions. And it kinda did! We moved from shade to shade and also had a look inside the villa. But most importantly: Dedicated photography time! 🙌
Update: Daniel took a Polariod.

Yesterday I opted to share two color images. But I got more parrots! The specimen above is not super colorful anyway, so monochrome works perfectly this time. Again, pretty similar lighting conditions. I love the structure of the feathers in the second image. (BTW: The 55-200 mm is a totally underrated lens in the Fujifilm portfolio. I should use it more often!) The third photo is a pretty obvious shot, but I strive not for the obvious, that's why I like the first one as a great opener. It is more mysterious.

I love Gruga in the early morning. I have the park almost to myself. Sometimes the ongoing maintenance is a bit annoying, since it mostly means some kind of loud machinery is being handled – but other than that I am very undisturbed. And the animals are not yet exhausted from hordes of kids banging at their enclosure. The parrots were very alert this morning and the light was also quite nice. Originally photographed in black and white – as I always do – but in the end I decided to go with color here, especially because of the second image. I can appreciate a little color once in a while…

Got nothing interesting today. Didn't really find the time to photograph. But during my commute I realized that our bike was about to hit 10,000 km. I did some quick calculations and funnily it amounts to almost exactly our daily commute every weekday since we got it. 😊

Coming home. Didn't leave the house today. Still not feeling super well – kinda up and down from day to day, really weird.

We held a very belated birthday party for Lumi today. (Back on her actual birthday, we didn't have a kitchen yet.) The kids made their own little fairy gardens. Since the weather was not great we had to do it indoors. I think they had fun and I love seeing them being creative.

Quiet afternoon walk during a break in the rain. I think the gloomy weather suits my photography – or maybe I was just happy to be outside taking pictures. I found a couple of hearts along the way – and at first, I only wanted to post those three images. But I found more photos that I liked, so a total of eight it is today.

Corona flip.

Short evening walk to get some steps in. Still not 100%, but feeling a bit better than yesterday.

Observing color. Felt a bit under the weather today, hopefully better tomorrow. 🤞

Yesterday's visit was only a test. Today, Tiny stayed for almost the whole day, because our friends (her owners) had lots of family over which is always quite stressful for the little dog. Ulya and the kids took her outside for the whole midday and afternoon so she was really tired in the end.

No rain today, so the path was clear – I love to see her this excited!
I was asked (once again) how this blog is built so decided to finally added a colophon page. 🙂

It rained all day. Spent the whole day indoors – aside from the morning and midday commute. Just now, I remembered I need a photo. So, here: The board (unused today)

Love seeing my work printed! Especially that big. (I think that's A2, if I am not mistaken.) I'll have a lot of my images framed and hanging all over the three collective.ruhr (the co-working space I've been part of since 2018!) locations very soon!
2026-05-04
All free time goes into being on the board right now. I am there for it!
Marc wrote a very nice post about my photography at beyond tellerrand. ❤️
