Spring has come!

Last Sunday I visited Vienna's Stadtpark. To my surprise, the cherry trees had already opened their buds and were fully abloom!
After all those cold winter days, it is wonderful to enjoy the warm weather, the blue sky and the first spring colours outside!

Today's Flowers - Late Autumn Flowers

September in Austria was very warm this year, up to 25° C /77° F!
And the weather will be warm also next week!

And the gardens in Vienna are still full of colourful flowers!

A bundle of tulips

A colourful bundle of tulips cheers me up
when winter is already too long,
when it is still too cold outside,
when temperatures are below the freezing point and winds are chilly!

But it's end of February, and hopefully Spring will come soon!

Autumn roses and more

Today we walked through Vienna
which is pleasantly deserted on a typical late Autumn Sunday morning like this,
and with a wonderful a gray layer of fog high above.

Of course we visited the Rosegarden in Voksgarten,
and I took some nice pictures of the last autumn roses.

Many rosebushes were already prepared for the winter season with branches cut,
but not yet wrapped up in their warm winter bags.

Oh, the fountain, dark and cool,
and some rose heads drifting on the dark surface.

And my favourite rose, still blooming nice and bright!

What did hubby see outside the garden?

*lol* Some more flowers!

This could be Vienna's most whimsically decorated construction site :)

Today's flowers - A farewell to autumn

The wild growing Camomile, Anthemis_nobilis, is one of the last flowers you can find on our fields in a period of the year when it has already been quite chilly in the mornings.

A farewell to autumn!

Did you know that the lawns of Buckingham Palace use camomile instead of grass? At least, Wikipedia says so :).

Further, Chamomile is used cosmetically, primarily to make a rinse for blonde hair, and is popular in aromatherapy, whose practitioners believe it to be a calming agent to end stress and aid in sleep.

And this is the place where I found the lovely little flower!

Today's flowers - Autumn colours

Yesterday we spent a pleasant afternoon in the wineyards near Lake Neusiedl. The golden autumn light painted the last flowers and sunburnt grasses in soft but glowing colours.

In the distance you can see Lake Neusiedl in the misty dusk of the late afternoon sun.

My dear companions:

Dear friends, have a pleasant week ahead!

Today's flowers - Autumn

It's definitely autumn now
at the beginning of October,
and some leaves are already changing colours,
and the last pale roses show their delicate beauty!
