Oh, this and that.
The sky has been mostly overcast of late, so my taking quality pictures has been slightly hamstrung. I still need to get used to this version of 'summer'! Here is a quick shot from the central, Mitte area, right after some showers.
While on my way to explore a new exercise/ yoga studio nearby, I saw an interesting looking apartment building which appears to be fully 'decorated' on the ground level. Perhaps it's partially squatted. There's a definite rebellious streak to this part of Berlin.
In other small news, a nice friend made us an adorable baby blanket with two fabrics I recently bought at perhaps the cutest store on earth: Frieda Hain. The fabric link doesn't do justice to this store, but here it is anyway. If I get back there, I will document the cuteness for sale.

Below are details from the print side that she cleverly cut out and sewed on to adorn the sheepy side. (Thank you, Tanja!)
My new motto might become: "Make your own sunshine" and not the tanning bed variety.
UPDATE: So, the sun creeped out this evening after another shower. I immediately started enjoying the light and snapping away in a neighborhood I like a lot. It's still light here even after suppertime. Here's what I saw:
I particularly like the dainty and effortless body language of this rather massive sculpture:)
