  2. Happy April Fools' Day! :-)

    I was my own joke today:

    I was convinced I had already published a post this morning.
    Well, I had fooled myself. :-)))

    Now, what the Dickens did I do this morning???

  4. MELANIE,
    they are so pretty and delicate,
    aren't they? The bit of colour is good for the soul on an overcast day with a leaden sky!

    ASH,
    I agree!
    I spent quite some time bending and kneeling around them. I had a long walk home afterwards and felt as if I had been working out at the exercise studio. I was too tired to get coffee somewhere. ;-)

  6. wow--that Heldenplatz is a gorgeous spot. So pretty! These flowers are all so vibrant. I'll have to watch to see if you post other verdigris rooftops at some other point. I've just always loved that shade. I always think it's so beautiful. Happy April Fool's Day!
