Looking for Signs of Spring


View of Kohlmarkt
and the Imperial Palace

The outdoor furniture
in front of Meinl Café is back,
and so are the torrents of spring.
I am looking
for signs of spring

  1. Love your photos, Merisi!

    Thanks for your visiting on my new blog. You are always very welcome! I add a Google Translator on the top of the page, although it is not so good...

    Yes, "Timbuktu" is by Paul Auster. I also like his book "The Invention of Solitude". Did you read this one?

    Have a nice weekend!

  4. I'm in catch up mode, and scrolling down your many lovely posts. Every single photo you post is a work of art. I don't know how you so consistently achieve such perfect images every time. I feel like I've fallen into a dreamworld, or the past, or into my thoughts. Thanks for that.

  10. A beautifully coordinated sequence of pictures! Your cleverly-worked top one gives me the impression of a row of heart-shaped tables

  11. Curmudgeonly Breakfast:

    Dear Grouch,

    I think you need a hug: here! ;-)
    May I suggest you help yourself to a good Paris Breakfast before you dive into visual feasts? How about some hot chocolate and a golden croissant?

    My saffron-colored Primula Articulatum (or whatever its name) sits on my kitchen counter, listening to Arcadefire performing in Paris:

    "If I'd fit in the windowsill I'd plant myself in your direction,
    I would use the sun's energy
    to make your place my destination.
    "

    With the best wishes,
    yours truly.
