High Noon in ViennaShort Lederhosen
are a-blooming!
Edelweiß, Edelweiß,
on spring mornings you greet me?
Spring truly has arrived,as you can see:
Viennese were taking in the sun
and brunching al fresco
This fellow probably belonged to a music band
that performs in traditional costume
Even billboards seem to take on gaudier colours
when the sun's shining

Very beautiful walk along Wienzeile!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday, Merisi!
Walking down the sidewalk dressed in lederhosen is like attending elementary school with a funny last name. You just have to get through it and hope you don't get beat up too badly.
ReplyDeleteNow you get spring while we have dropped down to freezing once again and I am dressed in sweaters and pants, fearing that my tomato plants will final succumb to the cold! Such a year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Merisi!
ReplyDeleteI hope that England fast catches up with Austria!
A joyful post! The folks at the outdoor cafe remind me of our cows, basking in the sun.
ReplyDelete@ Vicki Lane!!!!!!!!!! *rofl*
ReplyDelete(I am sitting here,
archiving until my eyes cross over -
thinking about doing the ironing instead, such is the fun!)
@ Hexe,
ReplyDeleteI am truly sorry for your tomato plants!
(One has to be really careful about what one wishes for, isn't it? Near freezing in Florida, almost March!)
Pietro,
ReplyDeletegrazie e buona fine settimana anche a te! :-)
Marcheline,
I got the impression that the poor chap wanted to get away from the crowd, and fast! ;-)
Maalie,
I wished everybody could share in the magic spring weather we are basking in right now! Today, I saw the first snowdrops!
....Oh, warm sunrais.....spring isn't far away...I feel it too!!!!
ReplyDeleteSoooo lovely to see people enjoy the sun outside.....!
Have a wonderful and sunny sunday, cara Merisi
ciao ciao elvira
A chuckle escapes me ... he strutts his Stuff stiffleggedly like a Holzmannerl, now in Kufstein he would not b out of place at all!
ReplyDeleteOh, send some our way!! Not here yet, and I definitely have spring fever.
ReplyDeleteLoving the hot-pink shirt with the braces ;)
Yes it does look like everyone is going to come outside now. I hope I don't have to wear the shorts outfit when it becomes spring here. Spring is a long month away here.
ReplyDeleteNo sign of spring here in my little world.
ReplyDeleteJust 23 inches of snow !!! have pics at my blog too

We have tiny signs of spring but nothing as nice as the weather that you are having. How lovely to eat al fresco again!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind comments,
ReplyDeletethey made me smile and empathize at the same time with those of you still under the snow. May spring arrive soon everywhere!
A wonderful weekend to all of you,
Merisi
Very beautiful street scenes. It's a long time until spring in my part of the world.
