The summer wind,
came blowin in
from across the sea
It lingered there,
so warm and fair -
to walk with me ...
Like painted kites, those days and nights - went flyin byThe world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
And I lost you, to the summer wind

ReplyDeleteClicking on the first pictures will take you to Frank Sinatra singing the song.
ReplyDeleteThe second picture will let you listen to "Sphärenklänge" - Music of the Spheres - by Johann Strauss, performed by the Vienna Philharmonic under Daniel Barenboim at this year's New Year's Concert.
Enjoy! :-)
I am so sorry,
ReplyDelete"Sphärenklänge" is by Josef Strauss, of course - how could I?
(I hope I will be able to keep my residency in Vienna after this faux pas!).
the flowers on the close-up shot almost looks like a paper, very beautiful!!!

Poppies are such happy and playful flowers...and what lovely lyrics you put to their music!!! Frank Sinatra and RED poppies...what's not to love? Super! ~Janine XO
ReplyDeleteI love poppy season in Austria, which coincides with another favorite - strawberries! Soon the cornflowers will bloom to add more magic to my drive into work each day. Thank you for your fabulous photos that are as near as possible to the real things - so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could run through that field like a child! They really are awesome shots Merisi!!
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful area, poppy fields. Do they have the california golden variety too?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images.
This time of year is just one lovely flower after another! Our highway department has sowed great long beds of poppies just like this along the roadsides -- a charming alternative to mowing.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done. Your photos make a person feel good!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely sightless summer wind that comes blowing by over those beautiful poppies.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Makes me want to run through the fields like a kittle kid!
ReplyDeleteOh, is there anything more delightful than a field of poppies? I think not. Beautiful photos--they remind me of Monet paintings.
ReplyDeleteJust can't help not looking for the Emerald City and the Yellow Brick Road! ;)
ReplyDeleteLook Captain, there be monkeys!
Gorgeous fields filled with flowers. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. oh course when I see poppies, I think of the poem. "In Flanders field" by John McCrae

Webern's 'Im Sommerwind' is one of my favourite Viennese musical utterances... not Frank Sinatra, but wonderful nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! What vibrant primary colors you captured here...and it looks like you've been having great weather for getting out and taking shots! Enjoy the weekend. Hopefully the nice weather will stay around! Thanks for you comment on my SWF post...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots ... the colours are so vibrant !!!
ReplyDeleteReally poetic, in words and pictures. Great sequence.
ReplyDeleteLove your shots , your poem and the poppies.
ReplyDeleteIt is always a pleasure to stop by here and everytime I tell myself , I must come to Vienna
ah.... love poppy season...
ReplyDeleteI loved the music you chose for the single red poppy! I added it to my favorites. I could fall asleep to that even though it's so full of movement. It would be like floating on a leaf.
