  2. Vienna is dressing up in spring colours and soon Johann will be standing under a beautiful floral umbrella...I love the little pink girl running in front of him, also your beautiful photos of the pictures and light your windows present.

  8. Even the buds of the cherry trees are so beautiful. You are lucky to be so far into spring as this and the monument is also beautiful.

  9. The monument to Strauss is really beautiful! I wonder how they keep it so shiny?

  10. Wonderful blossoms! Buds, rather! I don't care, really, as long as it is not snow!! In the photo of the monument, it looked as though the bedding plants have been put out already!

  18. Hi Maria!
    I'm more than delighted you enjoy seeing Japanese cherry blossoms every year.
    Can you drink alcohol outside in your country?
    In Japan we can do it.
    but I heard there are many countries that people can't drink alcohol outside.
