Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, 
is always just beyond your grasp, 
but which, if you will sit down quietly, 
may alight upon you.

No artist could enjoy a waterlilies pond without thinking on Monet's famous paintings and his gorgeous garden in Giverney. And so I do, every time I discovered a waterlilies pond I'm inspired and thrilled. These gorgeous variations of blue, green and light. This painting isn't more than a study but I love the interaction of Viridian and Indigo Blue on the water.

We've a really beautiful Otter Center nearby.  The Hankensbüttel Otter Centre is a nature experience centre in Hankensbüttel, in the German district of Gifhorn, that is laid out in 6 hectares (15 acres) of open land by a lake known as the Isenhagener See. The Otter Centre showcases the European otter which is a species threatened by extinction, as well as several related species of marten, in a natural environment. The centre is run by the Aktion Fischotterschutz ("Otter Conservation Project"), a state-recognised nature conservation organisation, and is a popular tourist and visitor destination on the southern edge of the Lüneburg Heath. The otters are kept in large, enclosures with a nearly natural habitat of streams and ponds. In addition there are various species of marten, nearest cousins of the otter, in the enclosures. The presentation of several species in this way is unique.

For me it's a fantastic opportunity to observe and photograph otters, badgers, stoats, polecats, beech martens and pine martens (the only pine marten enclosure in Europe).

"Suddenly, I stood in front of my picture. A pair of summer dream's eyes lay upon me and brought spring into my soul. 
They belong to an earnest, quiet young woman.  .... " part of the fairytale "You" written by Paula Modersohn-Becker

I love to paint this special house (located in France) and I've painted it often, each version is so different and I can see my own development in watercolor - and the longing for France, of course. The prompt for Day 2 #WorldWatercolorMonth is "in the shade" and I think it could be fit.

Foxgloves are really strong and free, they are wandering on their own path and with their own plan
through our garden  - and terrace. And no wind and heavy rain can bow them.
