Green River, Blue Skies


Under Blue, Blue Skies,
A doe, a deer,
A female deer chamoir buck
A ray, a drop, no, lots of golden sun ...
A wrought iron store sign,
announcing an apothecary's shop
9:00am yesterday
in Bad Ischl


A White Bench
under blue skies
by the green mountain river
invites you to dream

Green Wooden Shutters
and a sun-drenched,
apricot tinted façade

greets early birds,
cheering them on
to feast on the joys
of this glorious Spring morning

In the meantime,
down by the river,
Zauner's Esplanade Café
has opened for morning revelers,
keeping them soft on pink cushions
to better take in the green river
flowing by

  5. Ja, im Salzkammergut da ka'man gut lustig sein!
    Lovely clrear green of the meltstrean and such gentle and genteel pastel architecture. There is nothing nicer than enjoying the sunshine in a riverbank cafe.

  7. Soooooooooooo civilized! And such a sky...though I do not complain because today, for the first time in weeks [no exageration] our sky is blue too...though we lack a pretty cafe with really good coffee.

  9. The apothecary sign is exquisite...and your photo so crisp that I can almost reach out and touch it! But my favorite? The Apricot Architecture and Green shutters!!! Such beautiful detail, and color...it almost looks edible...hmm..I should not stop here at lunch time...You are ALWAYS bad for the diet ;-) Simply spectacular, as always, dear Merisi...Sorry I have missed a number of posts this past week...so busy with the Easter season...but it is so good to settle into my routine again today, and join to you for a delicious cup of Viennese coffee! Love, Janine XO

  12. These are beautiful as always, Merisi. I particularly like the last one, of the two women at the cafe. There's something about it that makes it look like a painting. That effect is hard to find, and I always enjoy it when I do find it. Wonderful!
