Saturday's Reflections


Hotel Sacher entrance

Sacher shop window

When he grows up,
he too
can become a Mint Julep cup!
In the meantime,
he's dreaming of Kentucky Derby Day!


Smile, Charles!
What's the matter
with those Green-blooded Royals
from the glen bogs,
I ask?


Café Bräunerhof*
The Kaffeehaus Thomas Bernhard* loved to hate
(still haven't had coffee there myself,
too busy flanieren
*)

The Sacher coffee cup
Haven't had coffee there, either.
Ah, the pressure!
Should I pay a visit
to Dr. Freud in Berggasse?


Zum Schwarzen Kameel
They won the Crawfish Tramezzino Derby
Claws down
,
and their tulips were,
once again,
best in show.
I always linger
too long there,
one of the reasons, I don't get over
to the Bräunerhof before closing time*.
They other one I can't tell you
. *whispering*)

  7. BECCA:
    Thank you. This city makes it an easy task.

    CREAM:
    Thank you, I must confess they are my passion (them, and a couple other things). ;-)

    BRITT-ARNHILD:
    I can only warn you, so far none of my many visitors has had coffee there with me (as much as they initially had wanted to *chuckle*). I am a real terror as far as being willing to bend myself to enter certain establishments. *honestly* I can give you the list of places I am more than willing to spend time in, though. All others I treat like the Romans St. Peter's. ;-)

    BENDTHERULZ:
    Well, I sorta like to think I collect frogs who croak for a rose, or two. *grin*

    GEMMA:
    Thank you.
    I spent two hours in the late afternoon on the Island between the Danube and the Danube channel, and I was thinking to myself, that I really love nature (which is many-faceted there) and architecture (I love the contrast between nature and man made buildings, if they are well designed. I shot about 250 photos to select from, for one of my next blog posts (swans included).
