I spy Spring
Just around the Corner


On the Left Bank
Friedrich Ohmann's blue amphoras
and an allegory to spring
grace the stone arches
of the promenade along the Vienna River
in Vienna's central City Park


On Overflowing Pond
Mallard ducks getting their feet wet

  1. Spring certainly feels close there. The shade of blue on the amphoras really stands out beautifully.

    1. We were experiencing torrents of spring lately, but temperature's rising!
      The amphoras are a sight to behold, all through the year.

    1. Even here in Vienna it is still more a strong feeling of anticipation in the air than actual sightings.

  3. If you spy it there, please send some of that to our area. It has been just miserable for much of the USA, and if the weather did not take one down, illnesses have. I head to FL soon and that shall make me happy~

  4. Beautiful!!! We're getting 8 more inches while I type. The schools let out at noon and I think our evening plans are cancelled...

  5. Love the blue in the top image. I've never been to Vienna, but hopefully some day. Been to Salzburg and its environs though.

    1. Friedrich Ohmann's Art Nouveau amphoras are a sight to behold.
      I hope you may see them soon here in Vienna!

    I too spied spring coming in Vienna, especially in the last shot.. However, I moved south to avoid snow and cold weather and today we have the deepest snow in Virginia since I moved here 14 years ago. I think it is time for another latte!

    1. Winter's not been kind all along the East Coast. I hope that changes soon!

  7. Merisi, I think that we are going to have to peek around quite a few more corners around here to get a glimpse of spring. Thank you for raising my hopes and spirits! xo

  9. The blue amphoras really stand out in a very pleasant way. An exciting time of year with new beginnings just around the corner.
