Oh the lilacs!

Stunning colors. I just adore your photo journals.

ReplyDeleteMy driveway here on The Prairie is lined with Lilac Bushes. They budded out just this week ... I can hardly wait and I thank you for the sneak peek! xoxo.
ReplyDeleteOh, everything looks so lovely this time of year. Our lilacs are in full bloom, roses are out, salvias are starting up, and pansies are a blast of color, since it's not too hot yet. What a magical trip to the market, Merisi. Thanks for the tour. Great colors!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely is the market place!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!

My ideal Saturday morning. Exquisite photos!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a glorious floral tribute!
ReplyDeletewe went yesterday to the market too (we are back in RO) - but there is no place to take photos, such a crowd it was! Flieder was also everywhere! but in the village where we live it is also everywhere, but in its entire splendour: every yard has at least one purple and one white...
ReplyDeletenever smell the tulip.wish im in vienna.thank you
ReplyDeleteLilly of the Valley -such a long time ago that i've seen these - they were my brides bouquet - I love them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and for all the kind wishes you gave when explaining how you keep up with your readers:)
I just love your vibrant photos, I can almost smell the fragrances from the beautiful flowers. I stumbled across your web page yesterday and I shall definitely be coming back for more. regards, Lindsey
ReplyDeleteMy Dear M...thanks for the flowers...they're lovely...white Lilacs are my favorite...I can nearly smell their aroma!

Those flowers are all so beautiful, and as usual so are the pictures! I particularly like the first one, with the apples and the lilacs. There's a strong contrast of colors in it, and I like how the apples are in the corner and seem to be escaping out the sides.
ReplyDeleteHi Merici,
ReplyDeleteStunning your market place is!
That photo of the woman with the red coat carrying the flowers is stunning.
Thank you for sharing!
May your day be filled with the scent of Lilacs!

That's a riot of colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the beautiful lilacs! I have such beautiful memories of all the lilac bushes around the yard where I grew up. We had the deep magenta, light purple and white varieties and they each smelled just a bit different. How I miss them!

My favorite images of this bunch are: Saturday Morning Purchase and Roses and tulips in shades of orange. Why? Because I feel like a voyeur spotting someone purchasing something lovely. Also, the lady's red coat and the bunch of lilacs is a nice contrast and composition.
ReplyDeleteIn the 2nd one, Roses and Tulips...my eye is lead past the blur of colors directly to the subject, which was kinda funny. You caught someone putting a bunch of flowers in their purse at the right moment, framed in flowers. That's cool.
Oh - so lovely! I'm happy to have found your blog. What a delightful treat to have "postcards from Vienna".
ReplyDeleteThis post would be great for the Farmer's Market Report. I hope you'll consider submitting it! http://toeverymeal.blogspot.com/2009/04/farmers-market-report-april-27th.html Last year we had submission from Australia and Sweden!
I love lilac and its little flowers. The womand with the scarf on her head looks lovely. like very much your pics of farmers market
ReplyDeleteHi Merisi - These photos are so pretty. I like your mixing flowers and produce!
ReplyDeleteLL
P.S. Thanks for all your nice comments on my blog.
Your posts about this market are always my favorites and yet I have NEVER been there. Grrr. It's at the top of my to-do list...
ReplyDeleteThe saturated colors here are gorgeous!!! Color is my never-ending delight!!!! You feed my soul! ~Janine XO
ReplyDelete26 April 2012:
ReplyDeleteSome days, inspiration simply refuses to show up in the short swatches of time you are able to offer.
I tried various themes, to no avail.
I love the memories of this happy morning at the market, back in April 2009. I hope you enjoy them too!
Cheers,
Merisi
Oh Merisi, I love the asparagras and tulips and potatoes and flowers.
ReplyDeleteYou made me feel Spring has sprung.
Gorgeous spring photos, Merisi. Vienna's flowers and gardens look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteNice photographs. Great job.
ReplyDeleteSurprised that flowers are still being wrapped in newspaper but why not.
