Botanical Dreams...

Yesterday me and the boy went to the botanical garden. It's such a lovely place and I enjoyed every bit. I especially fell in love with the cottage garden, with it's wild flowers, vegetables and herbs. Also the palm houses were worth visiting, unfortunately the weather was about 30 degrees so we couldn't stay so long in the houses. 

For me botanical gardens are a place where you can learn so many interesting things about plants and bionomics. We should learn so much more about nature and our environment, so we can walk around with open eyes and much more love and care in our hearts.

A walk through the lush leaves gave totally freedom to my mind, what a glorious day!

So here are some photos of that lovely place. Enjoy!

Summer's in the air...

Hello lovelies! 

Before my journey I spent a while in the garden to relax and calm down a bit. It's getting warmer here again and the sun is shining after days of rainy and stormy weather. I harvested some sugar snaps from my raised bed and the last marigold for this summer made me smile. There are also some little tomatoes growing, but they still need their time. I hope when I am back home, I can start to plant some new things for autumn...

 This spring I planted some wild flower seeds in different pots. Now in the midst of summer they are in full bloom. Wild flowers are good for our local bees and are just pretty to look at.

"My soul is made of meadow flowers"

Today I walked through the fields around my hometown. I had a long day at work and walking through the bloomy nature really calmed me down. My camera is my companion everwhere I go so I took some photos of the lush leaves, the golden cornfields and the bright coloured flowers. Tons of red clover, one of my favourite summer flower, was blooming by the wayside. Buzzing bees and bumblebees were traveling from blossom to blossom and the first autumn fruits are mellowing on the trees: Apples, plums and walnuts.
