  4. Hi Merisi,
    I've been out-of-town and missed your recent posts. They are so inspirational! So beautiful! Is Himmelpfortgasse a private residence?

  5. @ Bulgariana:
    Dies ist der Flieder unter unserer Wohnung (im 13.), bei der Augartenbrücke im 2. Bezirk sind die Knospen schon dicker.

    @ Andre Veloux:
    Lilac bloom is a special time here, it is as if the whole city turns into a lilac cloud.

    @ Seamus:
    Don't those vases remind you of the disco balls of the Seventies? ;-)

    @ Eileen:
    Himmelspfortgasse is a small street near St. Stephen's cathedral ("Gasse" meaning "small street", "Himmelspforte" = Heaven's Gate Lane). Most of the beautiful houses and palaces are private.

  6. For us, it was nice to experience the tumultous spring as it is already warm here. I am sure that you are certainly ready for the buds to sping open with color and some warmer weather.
