The Sun always rises
Morning in Vienna


Pierre's Croissant
at my breakfast table ...


... and I couldn't care a straw
about thick grey fog
rising from the Danube,
dashing any hope of a sunshiny day!

    1. It's still there. Waiting for the day I manage to get a picture with croissant AND coffee going. ;-)

  2. I wonder as I look at that delectable Croissant, if there is any way of making them without the use of butter. Oh I do adore a good Croissant, with added butter, or chocolate, or raspberry jam, a bit toasty on it's own, all just wonderful to me...but I still am wondering...

    1. A bit of butter won't kill anyone ... ;-)

  3. I'm a big fan of fog, unless I have to drive in it.

    1. Charles, talk to Lana about swapping homes for a few weeks during winter: I'd love to get some Louisiana sunshine instead of grey skies due to high fog. ;-)

  4. Merisi, wonderful poetry in the photographs and words you've given us in these two new posts. And the beauty is very welcome as we still trudge through February weather.

  6. Beautiful captures as always, Merisi!! I, too, love the plate -- and the croissant as well -- I haven't had breakfast as yet!!! The bare trees are lovely!! Hope your week is going well!

    Do you have a matching cup too?

  8. Ah, that bakery is quite appealing, even if I can't understand a word of German!

    The plate's memorable!

    1. It's the food, William, you'd "understand" it - a bakery during the day, it becomes a bistrot by 4PM, serving great "slow" food, with regional ingredients, often organic, innovative cooking all around.

    1. Thank you! :-)
      The plate is English Ironstone, made by the Adams subsidiary of Wedgwood.
