Coffee, anyone?
Hermes Villa in Autumn


Fallow Dear
Lainz Game Reserve
13th District

Indian Summer Days
reluctantly cede more gold
to autumn's ways

Gently, though, relucantly,
shades of green still reign supreme

There are those corners, though,
were gold advances at a steady pace,

and even the table set for coffee break
shines in autumnal hues

    1. Fromage maquée (Topfen) topped with quince mousse, all very light and scrumptious!

  3. Autumn colour, deer and a coffee break = a wonderful day in Vienna.
    i an envious, Vienna with it's parks and gardens and coffee houses and a few waltzes by Strauss must be bliss indeed.

    1. It rather looks like home doesn't it? Fall is here and soon there will be pumpkin pies on the menu, hope the next time you are over we can get together or at least speak on the phone

    2. Oh the Fallow Deers are so beautiful. We are 2,000 miles from Tingsgrove and the journey continues this morning. I am hoping to see some Elk, yet it is hunting season, so they are probably hiding~

    3. @ Arija:
      I wholeheartedly agree, Arija, there are days when Vienna feels like heaven. ;-)

    4. @ Sandi:
      Definitely, next time better planning (well, let's better say NO SANDY!). You made me realize, though, why I love this park so much: reminds me of East Coast fall colors, when the leaves turn. ;-)
      Time to watch Ivory-Merchant's "The Europeans" or "The Trouble with Harry" again.

    1. You see, I am wishing to be THERE, East Coast, that is. ;-)
      I was on a road trip along its southern parts a year ago and I am feeling nostalgic. Quite a bit. ;-)
