Where to Go On A Rainy Evening in Spring

Raindrops
Keep falling

Raindrops

Keep Falling

Raindrops
Keep falling

Keep Falling
On my head

Yes, the raindrops
kept falling on my head umbrella,
but the beauty of this garden
was not marred by them.

Beyond the pond and the trees,
behind the retaining wall,
lies yet another of the hidden beauties
of the Belvedere neighborhood:
The Alpine Garden of
the Upper Belvedere.

The Botanical Gardens
of the University of Vienna
have three entrances:
The easiest to find is the one
through the Alpine Garden
of the Upper Belvedere.
That's the entrance I found
on an early Sunday morning last May:
I was photographing in the Alpine Garden,
when I heard singing from the garden below
and followed the voices.
