what I spent my time on

Hi guys!

How is everyone doing?

I just wanted to drop in and share a couple of photos from my mobile phone. I randomly took them in the course of the last weeks, so this is a little overview of what photo-worthy things I did lately.

Hope you like them!

*whoops sorry I just saw I forgot the "the" above*

Life was good lately :)

Until next post,

Hi guys!

Thanks a lot for all your nice comments on my new blog design, I'm so glad that you like it. I don't know if it's because of the fresh new look, but there even are a few new readers who follow along now. Welcome to my little corner in the interwebs and thanks for following folks! ;)

I again collected my mobile photos for another mobile snapshots feature - and this time we're going Lomo!
In times of Hipstamatic and Instagram the modern non-smartphone-owner has to revert to tried and tested methods: online image editing.
I love Picnik's "lomo-ish" effect, so this post is a kind of tiny tribute to their amazing freeware :)


Christmas time

Uhm, I know I said goodbye to Christmas long ago (well actually it was two weeks ago), but come on, it's still nice to look at Christmas trees, no? ;p






Mona this one's for you, next time we'll have a Glühwein date ;)

Hi guys!

Oh dear, I haven't done a mobile snapshots feature for such a long time! So here it is again, I hope you maybe missed it?! ;)
Anyway, I took some of the nicest shots out of all the many many ones I had collected on my mobile phone for several months now.
Enjoy!

(because the University of Düsseldorf is geese-friendly :D )


Hi guys!

I take photos of all kind of stuff with my mobile phone when I'm out and about and once in a while I transfer them to my computer to see if there are some cool shots among them. Well, here are the funniest, prettiest or most interesting things I saw when I was out and about.
If you like you can also check out the mobile snapshots part 1 here.


these were taken when we visited Eastern Germany last month:








yummy and cozy


"sweet cheese panini", yum


cupcakes (chocolate-raspberry and chocolate-peanutbutter)


On my way home from the cupcake afternoon I noticed that somebody seems to knit "snuggies" for trees, lamp posts and other round things in our city. You can see them here and there if you look around in Düsseldorf, I've already seen them on trees at uni :)


weird, funny and random


:D


the Oberkasseler Bridge on a drab day


Patrick's perfect quiff


"Mommy there's a giant walk-through heart at the mall!"


I'm a sucker for any drink that has blueberry flavour lately!


So now my memory card is empty again and ready for new snapshots.
Have a wonderful Saturday!

Hi guys!

Sorry for the lack of posts, somehow I haven't been in the mood for daily posts lately. I'm still ill and so is Patrick, so due to this everlasting cough we try to stay at home and rest ourselves as much as possible. We're quite simply veeery lazy people at the moment, that's why I can't pull myself together to blog daily.
Tomorrow I'll visit a fleamarket only for girls with a friend and as it's Carnival time here in the Rhineland this (long) weekend, I'll meet some colleagues on Monday to go watch the big parade. Can't wait to dress up, I haven't done this for so long :)

Anyway, for now I have miscellaneous photos that I took with my mobile phone when I was out and about during the last weeks.


Carnival


Normally our info screens for the subway say "sofort" (which means "now") when the train is about to arrive, but now in the Carnival time it says "Do zuch kütt", which is a Low German dialect expression that is normally used when you're waiting for the Carnival parade to pass. I think it's a cute idea of our public transport agency :)


my first Carnival bismarck (or as we say in German "Berliner") this year


in the city


This is where I love to take a rest when I'm out and about in the city centre. It's a little canal in the middle of our luxury shopping street, the Kö, where you can take a seat on a stone bench right in front of the water. It's a lovely place to drink your coffee and escape the hectic streets for a few minutes.


I was looking for some accessories for my Carnival costume in the H&M children's section when I came across this cute shirt. I wish it was available in my size, because Rawr meeans I love you in Dinosaur ;)



artsy fartsy

These are some of the works I photographed when I visited the open day of our art academy here in Düsseldorf.

windows eastwards God how embarassing, I mean westwards of course! = best view on the sunset everyday :)


The funniest little mini banana! I laughed so hard about it, it was so cute! My colleague held up the cup to demonstrate how small this banana was.


okay, that's it with the picture-heavy post today. I'll go over to the sofa again because Patrick is playing Dead Space 2 and I don't want to miss out all the good splatter parts ;)

Have a nice day!
