MyGurumi: 06/13

oh boy, what happened to flickr? I'm not sure whether I like the new design.. anyways another month went by, and in May I picked up the challenge to post a picture a day again. Haven't done this for 5 or 6 weeks I almost forgot that it's actually a lot of fun. I always try to take the picture the day of the specific challenge, which makes me see life a little more open-eyed and also it's like a little diary. Did you write diaries when you were little? I used to, but never sticked to it for longer than a few weeks. I also felt a little weird writing : "dear diary today nothing spectacular happened" growing up quite a lot of days were normal average fun days, but not SPECTACULAR!!, you know what I mean? Now I write a diary again, and always try to only write one little sentence, the first thing that comes to my mind when I lay in bed and think about the day that just ends. This is a lot easier and I realize that life doesn't need to be spectacular, it is the small things that make a life unique

so my pictures in may:

1. I bought this!: raspberries, soooo yumm! I'm glad we finally reached the warmer months of the year and berries in all shapes and sizes are available on the market

2. Morning ritual: breakfast .. usually I eat my cereal, and do you see the spoon? it's the same spoon I learned eating with when I was little, I love this spoon

3. This is really good!: pasta! even better pasta with freshly made pesto genovese

4. In my cup: iced coffee with cream, mucho crema, yumm!

5. Paper: post its

6. Broken: while working I drive through eastern germany and today I spend my lunch break wandering around, seeing this tree in the front clearly broken I couldn't stand but not taking a picture. This one is not filtered or edited, the colors are original, isn't the color scheme kinda like a Burton movie?

7. Something beginning with F: being in Leipzig for a big congress, on the way into town I came across this wall art, is it graffiti when it's clearly painted?

8. Shape: round, a mac blush, an orange one to celebrate springtime

9. A snack: during the congress one of the healthier snacks was one of the bananas from one of the other counters

10. Stars: seems like I didn't see any

11. A smile: me :) .. or rather a cartoonist drew a picture of me during the congress

12. Mother: mothers day!!! since I wasn't with my mom this sunday, I was thinking quite a bit about this one (plus I think my mom wouldn't enjoy a picture of herself on the internet) than I came across this peanuts comic strip .. perfect

13. Sunrise/Sunset: evening sun in Tempelhof/Berlin

14. Need: food, it doesn't need to be healthy all the time but bananas, milk and blueberries are a wonderful combination

15. 7 o’clock: me, still a little wrinkly fresh out of bed .. obviously it's been very early, I managed to foresee the future, it still was the 15th

16. Mailbox: I meant to take a picture of one of the yellow mailboxes in Berlin, but I never managed to actually do it

17. Season: oregano and spring meet each other

18. Want: a BBQ .. with my BF in Ulm

19. My favourite view: a good sunset, I love the clouds in all shades of pinks, oranges and reds, so so good

20. Light: still being in Ulm, looking up at the sun behind a cloud

21. I care about this…: a little message between me and sweetheart, we share humor

22. Change: the whole day I've been thinking about things that could change.. until in the late evening I bought something and my change also included the new changed 5€ bill, it still feels and looks wrong, not like real money

23. PJs: well .. I don't usually wear any, soo..

24. Go: the typical traffic light in Berlin, the little guy used to be the traffic light guy in former eastern germany, now some traffic lights still get to have their (much more loved) old/new traffic light guy, cute!
