they elephant-napped Albert!
An elephant weighs thousands of pounds
with every step he takes he can bring your house down
it gets pretty scary when he starts to dance around
doing the elephant two-step. *

ReplyDeleteMari-Nanci

ReplyDeleteLucky you!
LOVE the red 100%!!!!
ReplyDeleteReading this, I feel I have fallen into a fanciful and charming story book! And all that gorgeous red, red red...
ReplyDeleteElizabeth:
ReplyDeleteI have to find out who created those pots. I have an inkling which flower desiger could have pulled this off. ;-)
David McMahon:
I get to shake my sillies out! :-)
smilnsigh:
Thank you, Mari-Nanci! :-)
freefalling:
ReplyDeleteI agree. :-)))
Simon:
"Più rosso non si può,"
more red is not possible, don't you agree? ;-)
I was tempted to call this entry "Rosso della Sera", but then again ... ;-)
Sara:
ReplyDeleteFrom the color swatch of the red carpet, I would have never been able to imagine that the covered entry way would look so gorgious at night (it was built to serve as a walcoming area at the entrance to the Vienna Sate Opera building during the Opernball). Those flower pots were simply delightful.
Those flower pots were simply delightful to look at (not that they talked, they were potted plants, after all *smile*).
ReplyDeleteA giant Mozart ball.......NOW I'm in heaven!! What a story the red can create......delightful!! It's a joy to see the world through your "eyes"......can't wait to see what tomorrow brings *smile*!!
ReplyDeleteThat was great!
ReplyDeleteDelightful indeed.
