    I would lick those buildings [and get arrested no doubt] for they all appear to be made of royal icing.

    Moannie,
    *giggles*

    I know you would! ;-)

    Could I comfort you with a big dollop of whipped cream instead? ;-)

    Perfection. Because of you, I know that one day, I will most definitely head to Vienna--it all just looks so exquisite through your lens.

    Hungering for a Viennes glass with a spoon...
    Can a place be called a cafe if they do not have this?
    just wondering.. :)

    Why just half a waffle? Go for the whole one! and then walk it off on the beautiful streets of Vienna :-)

    Zosia,
    those are really big waffles, half is perfect (then, it was not mine anyway!). ;-)

    Such a lovely scene...I wonder, though, as oleander is so poisonous, should a blossom fall into one's coffee, could that create a problem. I see the beginning's of a forensic novel!!

    RNSANE,
    there are so many blooming oleander plants all over Vienna, somehow they must have learned to sail past those coffee cups. I am not sure, though, I'll dare drink another cup of herb blossom tea, at least not as long as I do not know how a dried oleander blossom looks when brewed. ;-)

    I know, when I lived in Tampa, FL, they had oleander planted all along the causeway. It looked so beautiful in bloom - but, then, there were signs posted, warning people not to pick the flowers or to roast hot dogs or marshmallows using sticks made from oleander twigs!!

    Beautiful images! Wildflower dust? What a charming idea.

    And what fun to meet another ex-Tampan here in virtual Vienna! I remember those same oleanders and warning signs on the causeway.
