spring blossoms

 

Just around the corner of our street, you can find the most beautiful spring blossoms. One of them is a gorgeous magnolia, the other one is a more modest blossoms, of which I don't know the name, but do find very pretty. The brownstone walls of one of the houses remind me a bit of the brownstone houses in New York City, but maybe that's because the dream of New York is always on my mind.
One day, if I have a home with a garden, I hope to have my own beautiful magnolia tree. And maybe this dream home will even have brownstones.

a walk in the park

   

This week we took a walk at the Kralingse Plas. There are piers at the lake, so you can walk on the water, which is beautiful. You get to see all the different waterbirds that live there, and in spring you even get to meet the young ducklings and goslings.
Now that the sun starts to shine, and the temperature is rising, the whole forest comes back to life. Trees are slowly turning green, and hidden flowers are showing their colours. We even saw a storks couple building their nest.

ps Did you spot the city's skyline in the background? You almost feel like you're at Central Park, don't you think? :)

window garden

 

For the first time in my life I have my own garden, or roof garden. I bought lots of seeds and sowed them in little greenhouses on my window sill. It is lovely to see them grow. I've got little tomato plants, red chili pepper plants, hollyhocks, sunflowers, coriander and Thai basil. Love my little window garden and soon to (hopefully) be green paradise garden.

black and white

 

Most of my pins on Pinterest are full of colour, but I do love black and white stripes. These are some of my favourites.

I did my best link all the images to their sources, but some I couldn't find. If you do know their sources, please let me know :)

spring flowers

Spring is finally here. The sun is shining and flowers are showing their colours. The whole city turns yellow, purple and white with daffodils and crocuses, and the hyacinths and ranunculus brighten up my living room. So happy that winter is over.

blue is awesome

In Berlin we stumbled upon this blue schoolbus. Blue has always been my favourite colour, and this much of it, on a schoolbus, is just awesome. And that I happened to wear my blue skirt and scarf was a lovely coincidence!
Oh, and my second favourite colour? As you can probably guess: red :)  Lately I'm especially in love with the combination of the two. Somehow everything that draws my eye turns out to be red and blue (you can find proof here!)
