Augarten Palace Gardens
Light and shadows of the midday sun
The sprinkler has just passed
a border of summer flowers
along one of the palace's greens
rows and rows of it
along the path to the manufactory building
leading from the main entrance
to the Augarten Porcelain Manufactury
by the main entrance

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
ReplyDeleteLike the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"
What a beautiful garden you share with us today!

The rose petals are gorgeous but I really like that sage.

ReplyDeleteI answered each and every comment of yours, and then I closed the window by accident. :-(
