Morning by the LakeNature slowly casting off
the dreamy langour of the night
Eager Young Leavesreflecting the first warm rays from the East
An Early Birdsinging his morning song
from his wooden perch
A Gaggle of Gray Geesetaking their morning swim
A Blossoming Apple Treewaiting to be kissed by the morning sun

Along the shores of Lake Neusiedl
National Park Lake Neusiedl - Seewinkel
Illmitz, Burgenland
Beautifully evocative pictures, lovely little Wagtail on the perch.
ReplyDeleteThose are some dramatic, beautiful photos, Merisi! You really saw those birds all lined up and flying in their V, eh? lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the first shot - the reflections of the rushes.
ReplyDeleteyes! the colours are completely opposite to the colours of our national parks!
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I saw Vienna & environs like this! This is so beautiful - a true spring. (We were there in late Dec. 1989 - it was soooo cold - I dragged my husband to see the Danube & we spent about 5 minutes looking at the water & rushed back to the train station. Such fair weather tourists. :)
ReplyDeleteI do love the idea of escaping. These pictures take me there. Nice touches of Spring.
ReplyDeleteThank you, MAALIE, for giving me the name of the little bird! :-)
ReplyDeleteA BRUSH WITH COLOR,
oh yes, the V-formation was for real! :-) At the same excursion I also witnessed about a dozen swans flying overhead, a memorably event. I could hear their wings batting from afar, but didn't know that the noise was made by swans, so I missed the opportunity when the flew right by my nose. ;-)
SEAMUS,
Neusiedler Lake is a very shallow lake, lots of reeds, always beautiful to rest one's eyes upon.
SIMON,
I imagine, we are going into summer and your side into winter.
I hope you have got enough rain!
TASH,
ReplyDeleteSpring is immensely beautiful here - the city herself decked out in tulips and late spring flowers, (though they are fading fast, due to the high temperature), with the lilacs blooming and their fragrance wafting all over the city's green spaces and gardens. I hope you can return one day in late April!
PHOTOWANNABE,
imagine, Neusiedler Lake is less than an hour from the city center! :-)
What a great springtime selection!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgious too, and the Viennese moments.
ReplyDeleteNIce photographs, they remind me of Monet and Turner landscapes.
