California Dreaming
Yes, we are still in Vienna


"Everybody
else
but me
surfs .... "

Ivy leaf, wistfully,
to skateboarder


Is this witch hazel,
I wonder


California Beach Shack Style
Try to google for that,
you'll invariably get
"California Beach House Style"


I don't care
as long as my
Viennese Melange
is served with whipped cream
on a table that looks as
beautifully weathered
as this one

*

Sunday walk
in the woods
of Vienna's 13th District,
ending on a California beach.

California dreaming, a
short walk from Schönbrunn, at
Pure Living Bakery
Altgasse 12
Hietzing
13th District

    Yum--that bagel and tea sound delicious. I'm a huge avocado fan. Love this beachy post, Merisi!

    You know how I love the beach. California dreaming sounds like a wonderful place.

    That bagel sounds good! Californian and Austrian sound so opposite, that I wonder how that feels like, drinking your Austian coffee in a Californian room:)

    I think the branch may be forsythia, and not witch hazel. Doesn't it look vivid and lovely against that pure blue sky?

    I often dream of California: my perfect climate! Not that I can ever imagine myself surfing for real . . .

    Vicki Lane,
    how about tuna and avocado? ;-)

    A Brush with Color,
    I am with you, avocado and all! ;-)

    My Carolina Kitchen,
    the cafe has a very down by the beach feel. ;-)

    Charles Gramlich,
    Sunday in the woods sounds lovely!

    Barbara,
    Vienna is much more cosmopolitan than I ever expected.

    Jeannette,
    it feels great! ;-)

    Bee,
    Forsythia it is definitely not.
    California dreaming, oh yes! ;-)

    Juju,
    me too! :-)

    This charming outing makes me more and more sad, knowing that I shall never see it. However, that cup of gloriously creamy dreamy coffee has my name on it.

    Not the colours we usually see, Merisi, but still wonderfully Viennese.

    What a wonderful cafe. How nice to get a little dose of sunshine in a cup. Beautiful photos too.

    I dream of California too. But then, I also dream of Vienna and can find neither here :).

    Moannie,
    that cuppa is for you! :-)

    El,
    coffee and sunshine,
    always welcome!

    It's not high coffee time here ... not yet!
    But I would love to be sitting at that table now and to have that lovely pale blue cup served in front of me...
    This shot with the light reflections (spoon, cup, glass) is beautiful !
    Everything looks so delicate and refined !
