  1. I left all but the last picture open to be enlarged by clicking on them, in honour of the beauty of these gardens. The last pictures will lead you to images of the grand Belvedere palaces and their more formal gardens. Of course, putting "Belvedere" in the blog's search window, will produce even more "Belvedere" posts. ;-)
    May you all enjoy a wonderful day!

  3. Mélanie ,
    book your accomodations and concert and opera tickets NOW if you really plan to come here. The tickets sell out far in advance (should you change plans, they are always easy to resell).
    Every season has its own charm, I love Vienna year round, really.

  4. Thanks to these incredible photos, which really look three dimensional - amazing, I really feel that I was there with you: can almost hear the birds singing and the buzzing of bees. Gorgeous.

  8. How beautiful! At first, I thought these were photos of your garden and I was so envious. I just yesterday planted scads of wildflower seeds in my back garden, but I doubt it will ever be as profuse as this!

    Thank you!

  14. Gosh, it is a wonder that you got any photography done. I would have just wanted to sit, in a corner, and drink it up until it got dark. But then again, I am quite easily distracted! Beautiful shots.

  18. Isn't spring beautiful?! My favorite picture is the last one of the iron gate. It seems to invite you in to it's enchanting garden. Thanks for taking me on a lovely stroll through one of Vienna's many gardens today. Happy Friday!
