No spring in sight - Kein Frühling in der Nähe
Today my spring colors got diluted in a sea of white... Some kind of evil giant is sending one more
hurricane to Europe.
Heute meine Frühlingsfarben wurden durch weiß ersetzt.... Ein böser Riese sendet einen neuen Orkansturm nach Europa.
This is a photo of our mail box. We used a barrel because I get so many big packages!!:
Dieses ist ein Foto von unserem Briefkasten. Wir haben einen Faß umgebaut, so daß wir Platz für die großen Pakete haben!:
My husband (who is a self taught landscape and building artist) took these pictures and I thought I could show you a special thing we have on our grounds. The willow pagoda. We planted the willows some years ago, after reading a book about this. Now they got big enough to be bound:
Mein Mann (ein Autotidakt in Landschafts- und Architekturkunst) machte gerade diese Fotos und man kann einen besonderen Bau in unserem Grund sehen: die Weidenpagode. Vor einigen Jahren haben wir Weiden dafür angebau, nachdem wirein Buch darüber gelesen haben. Jetzt hatten sie eine Geröße erreicht, wo man sie schon binden konnte:
it is very big because we want to have a roof to sit inside in hot summer days.

Sara, wonderful how you catched even the UV-light with your camera ...I'm longing for spring, too: light light light! And watching the willow-house grow! So great!
ReplyDeleteThat pagoda is lovely Sara and so is the snow!
ReplyDeleteThere is no snow in my city or region. I think it looks lovely. It looks like the right incentive to spend lots of delicious hours indoors, keeping warm and being creative. And your husband is very handy and creative too. He takes great photos.
ReplyDeleteSeit heue nachts hat hier der Winter auch wieder Einzug gehalten, noch mehr Schnee, als auf deinen Bildern, was ja schön ist, aber der Sturm und die nasse Kälte, brrrrrr,
ReplyDeleteliebe Grüße,

Chicago is getting hit with a snow storm today too. What happened to spring?
